3, 2, 1 - SMILE

Grab your friends, your fellow sailors in your crew - and splash! A photo, another photo. Yes, this is a sailing holiday for everyone who loves the feeling of freedom. Take a look at what makes sailing with sailwithus so special!

Come in. Look out.

Come in. Look out.

Take a look – sailors' hearts beat faster! Anyone who has ever spent a holiday on a yacht raves about it: the feeling of freedom that spreads when the engine stops. The sound of the wind and the fresh sea air that cools you down. There is something completely individual about sailing on a yacht. The interior with its three to six cabins, each of which sleeps two people (of the same sex), also contributes to this. Or the fully equipped kitchen and, of course, the design holes to look out of.

Skipper with heart and soul

Did you know that the average sailwithus skipper is 1.73 meters tall, weighs 70 kilos, has brown hair and a pretty good nose? Get to know some of our skippers! All of them are enthusiastic sailors, speak German and would love to spend a dream trip with you on a sailing yacht. They also want to get away from it all for a bit – most of our skippers have a normal job back home. Now they are taking you on a voyage of discovery and introducing you to sailing.
