Guestbook comments

I can only recommend a sailing trip on the 'Eye of the Wind'. This two-master is a sailing ship straight out of a picture book, and the crew is in a great mood. And if you want, you can climb to the top of the mast - 27 metres above sea level. Fabulous!"

Fellow sailor and journalist, about his cruise in the Danish South Sea

Simply an overwhelming experience - you have to experience it.

Dr Hermann Gärlich

fellow sailor, about his voyage between Vigo and Tenerife

Here I can let go of all the tension and find myself again.

Jan Störmer

fellow sailor, about his voyage from Stockholm through the western Swedish archipelago

The way this magnificent sailing ship pushes through the waves with the help of the wind alone is an indescribable feeling. There is nothing more beautiful.
