Our classic since 2016 from/to Wedel in Schleswig-Holstein, near Hamburg! Emission-free / authentic sailing with the tides.
Our route takes us from Wedel through beautiful nature and past the old Elbe fishermen. Maybe we'll make it to the port of Hamburg, maybe just to its gates, it doesn't matter. In any case, we sail for miles along the islands of Hanskalbsand, Neßsand and Schweinesand, with their beautiful Elbe beaches. Then on past the Mühlenberger Loch and the Cranz lock to see the hills of Blankenese opposite, which are close enough to touch. A special kind of spectacle when the big ships pass us by. We continue past Teufelsbrück, Övelgönne and Finkenwerder to "to the gates of Hamburg", with the landmark Elbphilharmonie concert hall firmly in view and back again.
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 WEDEL.
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 (group rate) and you are alone on board. No other guests!
