Our sailing trips: wind, sea and sailing

Travelling across the sea on a traditional sailing ship is a particularly impressive experience. A Day trip or a Taster cruise is a good introduction to discovering sailing as a holiday experience.
For a longer Sailing trip - up to several weeks Atlantic crossing - enjoy peace and relaxation under set sails
in harmony with the nature of the sea.

No previous experience is required to sail on the Eye of the Wind.
You can look forward to the relaxing Combination of Sea, wind and seafaring.

You can achieve an individual and personalised sailing experience with a Full charter.
A Event, incentive or seminar on the traditional sailing ship creates a unique experience for your employees or customers that will be remembered for a long time.

When the dolphins swam alongside the ship on the way to Ibiza - that always gives you the feeling that all is still right with the world.

Sailing like 100 years ago! A dream come true!

Members of the youth department of the Merching Sailing Association

From the very beginning, you can feel that it is important to the crew members that everyone on board feels comfortable.

Cornelia Graf

Participant in a management training programme at sea

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.

Ulf Kaack

Co-sailor and author of maritime books, about his cruise in the Western Baltic Sea

I hadn't expected such luxury on a sailing ship and I was very pleasantly surprised. The surroundings and the associated atmosphere on the ship are simply unforgettable.

Ralf Breetzmann

Participants in a management training course at sea

It was a fabulous week. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Constanze Glötzinger

Co-sailor, about her cruise in the Danish South Sea

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!"
