Yacht Transfers

We transfer yachts professionally and reliably – whether 30 or 78 feet. No referral, just real professionals with experience. We are represented in Germany and Portugal. We also have possible crew members in France, the UK, and Italy. Instead of transport by truck or deck cargo, we safely move your ship across the sea on its own keel – as intended. Gentle on materials and the environment, at fair prices. We are happy to take you on board!

Typical Procedure

We advise you personally and plan the transfer together. After clarifying all details, we provide crew, coordinate the dates, and choose the best weather window. In bad weather, we take a harbor day; otherwise, we sail the route in one go. Our goal is to bring your yacht quickly and safely to the desired port. Upon arrival, you will receive comprehensive documentation, a well-maintained and serviced ship, and a transparent invoice.

Skipper-, Crew-, Regatta-training

Over the past years, we have skippered both monohull and multihull yachts of various sizes in numerous regions around the world – whether as instructors, permanent skippers, for yacht deliveries, regattas, or as part of team training. The theoretical knowledge acquired during our training with the German Navy, the DSV, or the RYA provides a solid foundation, yet it is through continual hands-on experience that we truly gain the confidence required.

Challenges of Harbour Manoeuvres

If you find harbour manoeuvres daunting, our skipper training and passage accompaniment specifically address these concerns. Even experienced sailors can expand their skills with us. Our training sessions include practical exercises for mooring in various conditions such as crosswinds, leaving a fuel dock alongside, making effective use of prop walk, and using springs.

Preparation for Longer Voyages and Passages

Within our training packages, we work together to practice all safety-relevant procedures essential for yacht management: from sourcing up-to-date weather and sea-state data, to planning offshore passages including tidal calculations, right through to navigation and setting sails correctly. Additional topics covered include rig trimming, exercises with Code Zero, gennaker and spinnaker, crew leadership, handling challenging situations such as seasickness, radio communication, various anchoring techniques, and engine management. We also train right-of-way rules in real-life, effective use of radar and AIS, entering harbours under sail, and emergency procedures at sea.

Regatta Training

Keen to get on the regatta course? We teach you the basics of racing or, if you prefer, help you refine your tactics and technique – as a team or individually. In our training, you’ll learn starting techniques, tactics, rounding marks and how to prepare your boat efficiently. Experience with a spinnaker or gennaker is helpful but not essential. Our courses take place on the coast, on inland lakes, or at Lake Garda – equipping you for a successful performance at your next regatta.

Benefit from Comprehensive Experience

Our approach is centered on imparting practical knowledge in a structured and efficient way, enabling you to quickly handle yachts with confidence. Whether you are sailing on the Baltic, in the Med, the Channel, or the Bay of Biscay, we will prepare you professionally and purposefully for your upcoming sailing days.

Individual Cruises

Would you like to book a cruise for your family, your friends, or your company team? 
We will help you select the most suitable yacht, discuss together which destination would be ideal, and take care of the vessel’s command. During the trip, we are happy to share our knowledge and expertise. You decide how actively you wish to participate.
Regions that are particularly well-suited for 3, 5, or 7-day cruises include: Brittany, the Swedish archipelagos, the Ionian Sea, Sardinia, Portugal, the Solent, the Danish South Sea, and the Netherlands.
As well as the typical modern, high-sided charter yachts with sloop rigging, we also offer interesting classics, such as a ketch (two masts), a flat-bottomed vessel, or yachts built by Scandinavian boatbuilders.
