About This Tour
Guided and exclusive half-day and sunset voyages on the Elbe in Wedel. A sailing experience for between five (5) and ten (10) fellow sailors (or private groups up to 12 people), who want to experience exciting moments on Germany's most beautiful, challenging and diverse river. Our professional skippers will take you along on a genuine sailing voyage aboard a modern 13-metre sailing yacht (42"). With us, you can experience the Elbe up close in true maritime, sporting style! You can be as active or as passive as you like. A truly Hanseatic experience, which has previously only been available to the owners of yachts on the Elbe in Hamburg and Wedel! We will try to present the content of our tours in English. However, there is no entitlement to this. In any case, the entertainment value is always high!
