For Elbe enthusiasts! Our extraordinary, predominantly emission-free sailing-trip ''the Elbe by night'' - from/to Wedel is only available on a few dates each year.
Saturday, 17.08.24 - 18.15 Uhr - towards the North Sea
Friday, 23.08.24 - 17.15 Uhr - towards Hamburg (gates of Hamburg)
Saturday, 14.09.24 - 16.30 Uhr - towards the North Sea
We sail along beautiful nature and the Elbe islands either to Hamburg or "towards the North Sea" and back again! Our unique trip starts and ends in Wedel (Schleswig Holstein, near Hamburg) during the day, just before dusk. You will soon see the sun go down and, in the shallow transition to night, experience how all the lights around us go on: The lights of the fairway buoys and the many small and large ships, the lights of the port of Hamburg and its jetties, the beautiful sparkle of the scenery along the dark Elbe. Again and again you might lose your bearings for a moment before we are back in the harbor, safe and impressed by our lights cruise at night.
For reasons of exclusivity, we are limiting the number of participants on this trip to 10 people, although the yacht is licensed for 12 people, plus 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!
