This page was translated automatically from German. View the original

From the Baltic to Brittany: on this challenging delivery we sail around 700 nautical miles from Eckernförde to Brest.

After departing from Eckernförde, the voyage takes us through the Kiel Canal to the North Sea and on through the English Channel to the French Atlantic coast. Depending on wind, weather and tides, we plan possible stops along the Dutch, Belgian, English or French coast. The exact route will be decided en route – safety and weather determine our course.

This trip is active cabin charter: you'll be involved in daily life on board, can take the helm, help with sail manoeuvres and gain experience with navigation, tides and day and night watches. Some sailing experience is required.

We sail on our seaworthy Dufour 50 Classic. The 15-metre yacht has five double cabins, two heads and a spacious saloon. On board are a maximum of eight crew and an experienced skipper.

A mileage certificate can be issued on request.
