Do you love the sea and do you love singing and making music with others? Then pack your favourite songs and your musical instrument. Take your guitar, mandolin, ukulele, violin, Irish flute, trumpet, trombone, harmonica, cajon, banjo or saxophone with you. Treat yourself to this musical trip on the historic two-masted sailing ship Belle Amie from/to Flensburg. Ideally, you like to sing – perhaps even polyphonically or in a choir – or play your instrument well enough to jam together spontaneously.
We plan the day together, set sail and head out to sea. At every opportunity – under sail on deck, in the saloon in bad weather or by the campfire on land in the evening – we tune our instruments, oil our voices and start jamming. Folk, pop, singer/songwriter – anything is possible, nothing has to. It’s also wonderful to simply enjoy the atmosphere on the sea as a listener. The main thing is that everyone has fun!
You don’t need any previous sailing experience on board. The regular crew will show you how to get the ship underway, how to operate the sails and how to manoeuvre. We plan the trip together. We decide together whether we aim for a harbour in the evening or sail through the night, depending on the wind and weather. The trip starts in Flensburg, the northernmost city in Germany and home to the North German band Santiano. SANTIANO chose the ship as the filming location for their 10th anniversary band video and is a music sponsor of Belle Amie.
We organise our life on board together. We cook together, jam together and sail together.
