Great experience with super skippers - We can recommend it to everyone to try out - whether a sailor or not. We were there for the 2nd time. Time out with Holger or this time with Sebastian. They are great skippers who really enjoy sailing, and you see Hamburg from a different side. This time the wind was not favorable enough to see Blankenese from the water (in the time we had). So Sebastian, after consulting with us, sailed to the Hansahafen, to the PEKING, and there was also some "background knowledge" provided. We also sailed under the Köhlbrand Bridge ("Does the mast fit under there...???"). All in all, it was great and we had a lot of fun again (...drinks are also provided 😉), another great experience and a super adventure! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Highly recommended - What a beautiful tour. It was a wonderful afternoon with the accompanying perfect weather: Sun and wind, so the best conditions 😊 I can recommend this experience with a clear conscience. Water. Sun. Simply wonderful. Many thanks to the great skipper Sebastian, who made the trip even more beautiful with his pleasant and relaxed manner ☀️

Dream trip with friends - To celebrate my birthday, we booked the boat with a skipper for 3 hours of sailing on the Elbe. There were seven of us on board, and it was simply dreamy! The booking through Holger was super friendly and straightforward. Our skipper Sebastian was professional and at the same time very relaxed, and he told us many interesting things. He had even sailed around the world alone once - I call that a sufficient qualification! 😉 There were chilled drinks on board, a toilet, and one could sit very comfortably either on deck or below deck. Anyone who wanted could help with sailing or even steer 😀 We were out for 3 hours in beautiful weather, heading from the city towards Wedel and back again. It was especially nice to climb to the front and sit or lie on the deck in the sun. We would do it again anytime and recommend it to everyone - it is something truly special!!

We were completely satisfied. - We were 9 people and felt very comfortable and safe. There were several drink options on board, the mix was great, and the prices were right. Sebastian was very nice and attentive. Can be recommended again and again. Thank you for that, and please keep it up. Sunny greetings, Anja

Always good. - Privately, I have travelled with the Elbe sailing company several times, including my own company and now with a business partner. It's just something different from the usual program. You can see something of the city and the port, the atmosphere on board has always been great so far. No matter which skipper is there. This time it was Andy for the harbour birthday and he mastered the challenges of the harbour birthday perfectly and the sailing was not neglected in the end. The group size is optimal.
