Description
Board a modern 42-foot sailing yacht and experience the winds and tides of Germany's most beautiful, challenging, and diverse river. See huge container ships, cruise ships, and many other boats...
Our classic since 2016 from/to Hamburg! Emission-free, authentic sailing trip with the tides.
From Hamburg, our route takes us past the large dry docks and container ships in the Port of Hamburg, past Övelgönne, the "Old Swede", Teufelsbrück and the Airbus factories into the Mühlenberger Loch. Opposite is the hilly and exclusive Blankenese with its staircase district, directly in front of the first Elbe island of Schweinesand with its magnificent beaches. Whichever way the wind blows, we sail on towards Wedel, along the Falkensteiner Ufer, until just before the Willkom-Höft ship's welcome station. In any case, we reach the state border of Schleswig-Holstein before our tour takes us back to Hamburg to the City Sporthafen Hamburg.
The dates at later times of day are called "twilight cruises" on our homepage. We are back in the harbor before it gets dark. This cruise also takes place a few times a year as a special highlight called "The Elbe at night" from/to Hamburg.
For reasons of exclusivity, we limit the number of participants on this trip to 10 people, although the yacht is licensed for 12 people, plus the skipper of course.
Private groups with a maximum of 12 people (e.g. stag party, birthday party etc.) book 10 seats and you are alone on board. No other guests!
