The Baltic Sea, also known as the East Sea in German, is a sea arm of the Atlantic Ocean and has long been a very varied sailing area. Between bizarre rocky coastlines and idyllic small islands in clear green waters, it sometimes seems as if time has stood still. Discover the atmosphere in the small harbours, colourful half-timbered houses, white beaches and lonely anchorages.
On a Baltic Sea sailing trip, you will get a good impression of the rich nature, culture and history of the various Baltic states in no time. The waters of Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Poland treat you to adventurous sea voyages, and the sun also usually sails with you during the summer months. Nights in the North are long and light, temperatures are usually pleasant and the East German island of Hiddensee regularly counts the most hours of sunshine in the country.
Ebb and flow hardly affect the water levels in this area, so the water is crystal clear and, with little to no current, a fresh dive is always safe and, above all, delicious. You might even see some porpoises swimming along… Don’t panic, these little whales would much rather eat fish than human legs!
Do you also love fish? Then enjoy fresh, regional fish specialities in the numerous old fishing ports or cast a rod yourself. Plaice, salmon trout and herring like to bite here.
Compared to other sailing areas, the Baltic Sea is still relatively quiet and you can discover unique places far away from mass tourism during your stay. In some ports, the arrival of a traditional sailing ship is so special that almost the whole village empties out for it.
