“Uns hat sehr gefallen, dass unser Guide uns wirklich gut herumgeführt hat. Andere hätten sicherlich 10 Minuten über die Hanse oder andere Themen gesprochen. Der Fokus lag hier wirklich auf einem Rundgang und keiner allzu tiefen Geschichtsstunde, wodurch die Tour sehr angenehm war :)”
Set sail from Yachthafen Hohe Dune with a certified skipper and sailing coach. Choose 30 minutes, half-day, full-day, or sunset sailing, help steer if you wish, and follow the Baltic coast toward Kühlungsborn, Darß, or Rostock.
“Skipper Kai ist toll! Als nicht erfahrene Seglerin konnte ich wunderbar von seinen Erläuterungen profitieren. Kai ist superentspannt und kann sehr gut erklären und nimmt sich auch viel Zeit für Nichtsegler. Man fühlt sich extrem sicher bei ihm und er weiß, was er tut. Ich mochte seine Art. Und natürlich, dass er uns immer wieder das Boot hat steuern lassen. Wir hatten einen Traumsegeltag auf einer großen Yacht. Wenn das Charterunternehmen jetzt noch Getränke oder zumindest Mineralwasser für seine Gäste bereit hielte, wäre das eine nette Servicegeste und dem Preis angemessen.”

“Viele geschichtliche Informationen wurden super vermittelt. Es hat uns Spaß gemacht, zuzuhören. Die Zeit grenzt an viel zu schnell. Diese Tour ist wirklich zu empfehlen. Die Dresdener. 😉”

“This was a lot of fun. These go pretty fast. You get to drive a lot. He took pictures and sends them to you. We're on a cruise and docked in Warnemunde, rode the train to Rostock, then walked to the location. It is a twenty minute walk. I would do it again.”
