Sailing Tours

Sailing trips are for friends of the water.

If you really enjoy the water – and can swim – you can consider a sailing tour. Sailing boats come in different sizes and comfort levels from antique ships to private yachts, luxury schooners and gigantic clippers. Usually you will sleep on board and active participation with sail setting is common.

Yachting vacations offer similar experiences, but without the sail. Small ships with 8 to 20 people will take to you great pla es on the water and ashore. There is no work to be done, so just enjoy the ride!
