SY Applepie has her home port in Greifswald; her sailing area stretches from Oslo to Gran Canaria. We offer holiday sailing trips for beginner and advanced sailors, sail training aimed at the SKS examination, and delivery trips for the experienced – though all sailing trips aboard the ApplePie always have an instructional character. Depending on your prior knowledge, you will be integrated into daily life on board according to your wishes and strengths, and thus contribute to the success of the voyage.
The ApplePie is a Hanse 470 with 3 cabins and a spacious saloon. She is certified by the BGVerkehr as a training vessel for worldwide passage. More information about the boat can be found on my website.
I have many years' experience in sailing schools and, alongside sailing tuition for children and adults, have taught SKS theory and practical courses as well as radio operation. For the past 10 years I have been travelling on varying routes with the ApplePie, and I am always delighted to welcome new crew members as well as many of my regular guests on board.

Holiday sailing trip to Copenhagen/Rügen/Bornholm
SKS sail training round Rügen
I couldn't have imagined a better skipper for the sailing trip from the Algarve to Madeira! If you're looking for a real sailing adventure, Sven is exactly the right person.
You can tell with every manoeuvre that Sven knows his craft – he has over 20 years of sailing experience and has his yacht, the 'Apple Pie', completely under control at all times. That gives you as crew an extremely safe feeling. At the same time, the time on board was also extremely educational: I was able to learn an incredible amount from him and am really mega grateful for this experience. I would set sail with him again any time!
Speaking of the boat: the 'Apple Pie' is a real highlight. Not only does she sail super fast and is really fun, but compared to typical charter yachts she also offers significantly more space, which massively increases comfort on board.
My next goal is already set: I will definitely do a skipper course with him to develop my skills further. Sven is absolutely recommended.
Super brilliant delivery from Madeira to Ponta Delgada, Azores! Sven (skipper + owner of the Apple Pie) is extremely competent in all theoretical AND practical topics relating to sailing and to the technology, handling and care of yachts; which you can see immediately on the Apple Pie. He shares his very extensive knowledge in all sailing areas gladly and without coming across as a know-it-all. He also knows lots of interesting things to tell about islands, country, people, history and culture. His cooking skills also contribute to a very good atmosphere on board.
As one of the very few skippers, he also trusts 'holiday skippers' like me to bring his Apple Pie alongside and cast off!
As soon as I find time again, I'll see if the Apple Pie still has a bunk free for me.
Ahoi Sven, see you soon

Sven is calmness personified, always relaxed and we always felt very safe, even in really strong winds. He explains gladly and with a great deal of patience, completely without coming across as patronising. On top of that, he can cook brilliantly.
