The Rum Regatta has developed into the largest gathering of former commercial vessels under sail in Northern Europe. In a fleet of numerous historic sailing ships and boats, you can experience a day on the Flensburg Fjord as part of this relaxed, not always entirely serious regatta event. "It's all about taking part! Anyone who can't resist and wants to come first will be mercilessly mocked – we have the most shameful prizes under the northern sun – and the runner-up will be rewarded with a giant bottle of rum. That's the custom in Flensburg and that's how it will stay." – With these words, the organisers describe the basic idea behind their event.
Enjoy a welcome drink and get to know your fellow passengers for the day. Or bring your family and friends on board and experience a varied day together on one of the last original tall ships of our time. From the museum harbour, we set course for the Danish Ox Islands, passing shipyards, naval bases and along the green shores of the Flensburg Fjord, which are particularly impressive from the sea. Sea air makes you hungry: in the stylish ambience of the saloon or on the open deck of the Eye of the Wind, you can enjoy a delicious meal with a view of the regatta field. The regatta is scheduled to end at 4.30 p.m. Don't miss the subsequent "award giveaway", because this creative and comical "ceremony with a difference" is the secret highlight of every Rum Regatta.
The rum regatta can also be booked with an overnight stay.
