Whether it's targeted skipper training or a mental time-out: I combine over 30 years of experience as a sailing instructor, skipper and examiner with sound expertise as a mental coach.
Sailing training:
Would you like to practise harbour manoeuvres safely, improve your behaviour in stressful situations or perfect your manoeuvring technique? I offer hands-on training with a clear focus on safety and confident action on board.
Burnout prevention & mental strength:
No sailing knowledge required – this is about your mental health. Amid the vastness of the sea, you'll gain new energy, learn mindfulness and receive tools for lasting recovery in everyday life.
Individual themed trips:
Whether accompanied by culinary delights, thematically designed or entirely tailored to the wishes of an existing crew – I offer bespoke trips with a special focus on wellbeing, openness and mutual respect.
Our skipper and trainer Hartmuth Reich gave us a very balanced yet exciting trip. It involved both sailing and harbour manoeuvres, which we were able to practise with a lot of patience on his part. Thanks to the small group size, no one was left short. We liked Hartmuth's very calm yet structured manner. Both he and his partner bring a great deal of experience from aviation, where, as is well known, there is no room for haste either. They approach things with real enthusiasm and also know the most beautiful harbours and bays. The kitty was handled very fairly, and there was a well-balanced mix of cooking on board and eating out. Happy to sail with them again anytime.
I went sailing with Hartmuth for a week to prepare for my exam trip – and couldn't have wished for a better skipper. Hartmuth is extremely experienced, stays calm in every situation and gives you plenty of room to try things out for yourself. His visualisation exercises as a mental coach were especially valuable to me – they really helped me overcome my nervousness when mooring.
Very good skipper training – practical, competent and solution-oriented. The content was explained clearly and applied directly. Uncomplicated organisation! Absolutely TOP!
We were sailing with Hartmuth on the Blue-C in Pirovac for our exam trip.
It was the perfect week! Hartmuth prepared us optimally for the exam, and of course we also had a great time “outside” the exam!
Due to the good experiences, we're sailing with him again in 2025.
A clear recommendation!
Best regards

Skipper Hartmuth responded individually to the crew. There was plenty of practice and sailing, and in the end the crew's wishes were fulfilled. (As far as weather and distance technically allowed) Experienced and relaxed in his manner, the focus of the requirements is on self-experience and subsequent self-reflection, well supported by his professional implementation. Questions were worked through both theoretically and practically. A clear recommendation, not just for the 1st, 2nd or 3rd trip!
Hartmut Reich is a very experienced and prudent skipper. He's happy to pass on his knowledge. The trip with him and the crew was an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended 🙌.
It was my first experience with sailing, and I'm thrilled! The skipper was very competent, friendly, patient and helpful.
Every question was answered in a way that was tailored to different levels of experience and knowledge.
Every now and then some tension showed among the crew (exam nerves), but only for a moment. The skipper quickly restored calm in his relaxed, friendly and pleasant way.
All in all it was a fantastic time - the best decision I made!
Everything was spot on. From the first contact through 3 intensive training days under perfect training conditions, the exchange among each other, right through to the evening wind-down and reflection.
Hands-on! TOP-NOTCH!
A very professionally prepared skipper training. You can tell from the start that a careful plan had been worked out. Nevertheless, each participant could be trained individually on various focus areas. In the evenings a relaxed atmosphere, and there was excellent opportunity to exchange ideas.
The plan was a relaxed sailing trip from Pula – but a cooling water leak and the Bora delayed the start. Despite warnings and without a bow thruster, we headed to sea using a special manoeuvre. Ideal sailing weather led us via Rovinj and Savudria to Trieste. A brief visit from the Guardia di Finanza, then: espresso and courtesy flag – arrival successful.
TRIP WITH A TAILWIND – OR: WHEN THE FORECAST LIES AND THE PIZZA HAS TO BE XL
Harbour Manoeuvres Intensive Training
It was supposed to be 3 training days in pouring rain. At least that's what the forecast promised – with horizontal rain, 10 degrees, 25 knots of wind. Sounds like the perfect recipe for soggy underwear and foul moods, right? But far from it! Instead: spring vibes...
