About this experience
Set sail for your maritime adventure just outside Hamburg. This authentic sailing trip from Wedel takes you straight into the vast Elbe countryside towards the North Sea. The special thing: You sail absolutely without emissions and sustainably in line with the tides. Far away from mass tourism, this trip offers space for a maximum of 10 people so that you can exclusively enjoy the peace and quiet of nature. Whether you watch white-tailed eagles in a nature reserve or steer the yacht yourself — this experience combines relaxation with real seamanship and stands out clearly from ordinary tours due to its proximity to nature.
How does this experience take place?
Usually early in the morning, our route takes us from Wedel past Lühe lock, the gateway to the Altes Land, the Hetlinger Schanze and the island of Lühesand on to Dwarssloch. Here, the Haseldorfer Binnenelbe branches off into one of the most beautiful nature reserves, where sea eagles live and seals relax. It continues past the Schwinge towards Pagensand, Kollmar and Krautsand, where pristine Elbe landscapes alternate with light sandy beaches on the Elbe. At this point at the latest, we have reached the apex of our journey and we go quickly, mostly with westerly winds, back to Wedel.
Who is it suitable for
The sailing trip is perfect for individualists, nature lovers and anyone looking for a break on the water. Since the shore always remains in sight, the experience is also ideal for people with no sea experience or concerns about seasickness. There is no age limit, so families are just as welcome as couples or solo travelers.
