Under this motto, we combine sailing, observation, and creativity during this Pentecost sailing trip. We merge shared sailing with artistic work. From May 23 to 25, 2026, the Belle Amie will become a floating studio—carried by wind, water, and open space. This creative short vacation invites you to step away from everyday life, consciously experience the sea, and engage in creative activities without pressure or expectations.

Sailing & Creativity – No Experience Needed

Together, we sail along the Baltic Sea coast and take plenty of time for creative work on board. No sailing experience is required: all maneuvers are guided, and everyone can actively participate or simply enjoy the journey.

Three experienced artists guide the creative program with open workshops and inspiring impulses. The focus is not on technique or a perfect final result, but on exploring your own thoughts, moods, and inner images. Everything is allowed to emerge—nothing is required.

Creative Workshops at Sea

The creative program is accessible, open, and experimental. With simple exercises, we work on, among other things:

  • Free sketches and graphic work
  • Color experiments and painterly processes
  • Working with driftwood and found objects
  • Small series of images and serial works

The sea, the light, the movement of the ship, and the silence between maneuvers flow directly into the creative process. Everyone works at their own pace.

Space for the sea, relaxation, and togetherness

Between sailing, creative moments, and life on board, there is plenty of space for relaxation, connection, and inspiration. We cook and eat together, swim in the sea, enjoy nature, and let go of everyday stress. Nothing is required—everything is possible.

explore and experience the sea as a source of imagery and inspiration.

The Artists – Creative Guidance at Sea

Andrea Geipel · Kiel
Andrea Geipel works from perception, inner images, and personal forms of expression. Her prompts invite participants to attentively reflect on their own experiences and bring them to life visually.

Lou Noltenius · Flensburg
Lou Noltenius represents free and intuitive work with color, material, and form. Openness, experimentation, and playful exploration are at the heart of her workshops.

NN · Munich
With a fresh perspective and a contemporary approach, our third artist guides the creative process with lightness and curiosity—ideal for free and uninhibited experimentation.

Creative Sailing – Why This Trip Is Different

  • Because you can sail without needing any prior skills.
  • Because you can be creative without having to achieve a specific goal.
  • And because the sea is a place where both naturally come together.

Let yourself be carried along on board.

Spaces are limited. If the idea of spending Pentecost on the water, hoisting sails, letting colors flow, and experiencing yourself in a new way appeals to you, we warmly invite you to join us.

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. The shared cabins are usually assigned based on gender.

Exceptions:

  • On the Belle Amie and the Seatrips yachts, there are sometimes mixed-gender cabins as well.
  • There are no shared cabins on the Sir Robert. Are you travelling alone? Then you should book a single cabin.

Yes, vegetarians and allergies/intolerances can be catered for on most ships. On some ships, the menu can also be adapted for vegans. 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.
