About this experience
Are you looking for a real maritime adventure in the Hanseatic city? This authentic sailing trip in Hamburg takes you on a four-hour journey in time with the tides. On board a modern Bavaria 42-3 sailing yacht, you will feel the power of the wind as you glide past impressive container terminals, the idyllic Blankenese stairway and sandy beaches. What makes this experience stand out: The constant view of the shore saves you from seasickness while you explore the Elbe sustainably and without emissions. A professional skipper shares his knowledge with you and, if you wish, will make you a captain himself. Not a dry harbor tour, but a real sailing adventure.
How does this experience take place?
From Hamburg, our route takes us past the large dry docks and container ships in the Port of Hamburg past Övelgönne, the “Old Sweden”, Teufelsbrück and the Airbus plants into Mühlenberger Loch. Opposite is the hilly and exclusive Blankenese with its stairway, right in front of the first Elbe island pigsand with its wonderful beaches. Whatever the wind blows, we continue to sail towards Wedel, along the Falkensteiner Ufer, until just before the Willkom-Höft shipping center. In any case, we reach the state border of Schleswig-Holstein before our tour takes us back to Hamburg to the city sports harbour Hamburg.
Who is it suitable for
This cruise is suitable for everyone who loves water — from absolute beginners to experienced sailors. As no previous experience is required and there is no age restriction, the experience is ideal for families, couples, or individuals. Since the route is always close to the shore, the tour is also perfect for people who are normally sensitive to swell.
