Set off for a real Wadden Sea adventure! This Wadden Sea trip takes you from Norddeich through the German Wadden Sea – with possible stops on the East Frisian islands, depending on wind and tide conditions. No experience is required: Perfect for nature lovers, adventurers and anyone who really wants to get away from it all!

The Pegasus is one of the few traditional sailing ships that can sail on the German tidal flats, as her shallow draft and slender hull allow her to sail through narrow channels and over sandbanks. Even small, shallow island ports are no problem for the Pegasus.

As a flat-bottomed ship, the Pegasus can fall dry on the mudflats in favorable weather conditions. The ship is placed on a sandbank at high tide, after which the water flows away with the ebb and the ship eventually lies dry on the seabed. You can then disembark and take a short mudflat walk. Don’t miss this unique experience!

We sail through the Wadden Sea, hopping between the East Frisian islands. Depending on the wind and weather, we make a stop at Borkum, Juist, Norderney or Langeland. On each island, kilometres of beach, pristine dunes and perhaps a leisurely stroll through the peaceful, vast landscape await. For those who prefer to stay on board, this is the perfect time to enjoy the wind in the sails and clear your head.

After a week full of sea air, sunshine (hopefully) and lots of adventure, we set sail back to Norddeich.

Children’s prices up to 12 years. 10% discount for schoolchildren and students on request.

Frequently asked questions

We still handle your bookings personally and therefore do not have an automatic booking system. This way, we can enable you to reserve individual places for a few days without any obligation. This allows you, for example, to arrange your holiday without someone stealing your place from under your nose. For this reason, we cannot keep track of the exact number of free places on a daily basis. However, we regularly check the availability of our sailing holidays. Therefore, you can generally assume that plenty of free places are still available on all trips that are not marked as ‘fully booked’ or ‘Last Minute’. Call us or use our booking form if you want to know the exact number of places available.

If you are travelling alone and have not booked a private cabin, you will be accommodated in a shared cabin. Shared cabins are normally divided by gender. Only on the Belle Amie and Seatrips Yachts do they sometimes have mixed cabins.

Yes, vegetarians and allergies/intolerances can be catered for on most ships. However, there is only one menu per day on the programme. Therefore, please let us know during your booking if you have any special dietary requirements.

In principle, all our trips are suitable for both experienced and novice sailors. The professional crew on board will teach you everything you need to know. In some cases (e.g. on Atlantic crossings) initial sailing experience may be an advantage/requirement. In this case, this will be clearly indicated in the cruise description.
