Hamburg-Helgoland & back for nature lovers & sailors – and those who want to become one

Sailing where Hamburg is maritime: on the Elbe. Our sailing excursions with SY Pegasus start directly from Hamburg or Cuxhaven and are led by experienced skippers – who can not only sail the Elbe but also explain it.

Currents, shipping, history, special features of the sailing area. There's more here than just nautical miles.

Options include relaxed Elbe trips, excursions towards the North Sea to Glücksstadt, Cuxhaven, Helgoland. And individually planned routes, depending on weather, tides and guests' wishes.
