Description

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!

Not Sailing- It’s a Glorified Boatride

We did the 2 hr sailing trip and there was not really much sailing- more like a boat ride as the engine was running almost the entire time even when we finally got the main sail up it was still with the motor running. If you want to actually sail - DO not book the 2 hr trip- it is not worth the money- you could take a public ferry and have a similar experience for a fraction of the cost! The boat operator was nice and took safety precautions and also let people take turns steering the boat and let people help with rigging so felt like a nicely run operation but it was NOT sailing. For over 240 Euro it was not worth it.

Moin Adina, dass ist nun deine dritte Rezension: eine hier auf Google, eine auf Viator (dort hast du nicht gebucht) und sogar noch auf ProventExpert. Gerne kannst du auch noch eine weitere Bewertungen bei Wikipedia hinterlassen, versuch es doch mal ;-) Zu deiner Bewertung: Wir unterscheiden unsere Angebote in einen a) 4 stündigen authentischen Segeltörn "Blankenese" und b) in ein 2 stündiges YACHT EVENT (Cruise in the City). Wärst du im Lesen so gut wie im Schreiben, hätte dir das auffallen müssen. Hättest du dich mit den unterschiedlichen Törns auseinandergesetzt, wäre dir aufgefallen, dass wir bei dem 2 Stunden Törn Ebbe und/oder Flut gegen uns haben, so dass der Motor mitlaufen muss. Zumindestens wenn wir dem Anspruch genügen wollen, dass der Gast auch etwas vom Hamburger Hafen sieht. Andernfalls hättest du wahrscheinlich dafür eine "schlechte" Bewertung geschrieben... In euerem speziellen Fall war es sogar so, dass wir wirklich viel Wind von vorne hatten UND die Strömung der Elbe auch noch gegen die Fahrtrichtung der Segelyacht gesetzt hat. Das kann keine Segelyacht der Welt meistern. Gegen Strom, Wind und Welle kann man nicht ankreuzen (Wenden gegen den Wind fahren). Musst du mal googeln... Alle unsere Skipper sind darin geschult, dieses auch zu kommunizieren, damit der Gast versteht, was es bedeutet auf einem Tidenrevier Segeltörns zu veranstalten. Leider scheinen dich die Erklärungen des Skipper nicht erreicht zu haben, da du wahrscheinlich schon damit beschäftigt warst deine Rezensionen zu verfassen und zu posten. Liebe Grüße Holger

Maritime mega-fun in one afternoon!

This sailing trip from Wedel is highly recommended! Our skipper, Holger, introduced us to sailing on the Elbe with lots of information, know how and humor. Our crew has developed into an active, interested and humorous community within minutes. The scenery of the Hanseatic city and the Old Country as well as cruising back, into a great sunset, makes this day unforgettable. Finally, a delicious dinner at “La Vela”..., is there a nicer life?!!! LG Kirsten

Elbe sailing belongs on the bucket list on a Hamburg visit!

With the nicest sunshine, but with almost complete calm 😂 we started our sailing trip. Nevertheless, it was a wonderful experience, also thanks to our skipper Robin, who provided us with a lot of interesting information about sailing and the Elbe and set sail for us despite the slump 😊 Robin, thank you for that! We are starting a second attempt on our next visit to Hamburg...

We as a group made a wonderful trip. Markus gave us much everything we needed to know, well us extensively. He's taken the fear out of the non-sailors. We will come back. Mast and bulkhead breakage Anette and Friends

Perfect!

It was wonderful! With a super nice skipper we were allowed to see a lot, core and do some things ourselves. Thank you so much!

Relaxed autumn trip

We had a relaxed sailing trip, although unfortunately a little wind. Skipper Guido was not only entertaining, but also an accomplished sailing instructor who responded expertly and patiently to the different participants. Those who wanted to learn something could learn, those who wanted to relax enjoyed the sunny autumn trip.

Operator response

Vielen Dank für dein tolles Feedback. Guido will euch unbedingt wiedersehen.!! Liebe Grüße

Wonderful Elbe sailing

Great sailing trip with nice weather and nice participants. Sabine has led us very sensitively into the fine art of Elbe sailing. We would love to do this or a similar tour again.

Great experience

It was a great experience to be on the Elbe with the sailboat. Unfortunately, we had very little wind, which is why we initially started under engine. On the way back, fortunately, wind came up, so we sail with the tail crossing could. We liked the fact that we were able to actively participate (steer, turn, ...), but did not have to. We would do the trip again anytime.

Great trip, good skipper

Had a great trip on the Elbe. Wedel and Hamburg seen from the water. Skipper Fred has sailed us with a lot of experience. Learned a lot and it was fun with him.
