Pegasus

The Pegasus is a fast sailing ship, comfortably furnished, light and open and offers accommodation for up to 18 guests. The ship is an opportunity to travel almost emission-free during your holiday. Enjoy nature, help actively while sailing, meet new people or travel with acquaintances. For a trip on the Pegasus, you do not need any sailing knowledge or experience, all manoeuvres are carried out under the guidance of qualified personnel.

The Pegasus has a large saloon and is pleasantly bright thanks to the skylights. It is divided into two parts: A cosy living area and a dining area. There are a total of 7 spacious and bright cabins on the Pegasus, 5 of which are equipped with 2 berths and 2 with 4 berths. All cabins have their own sink with hot and cold running water, mirror, heating, porthole for ventilation, 220V sockets and storage space. The berths are freshly made up with sheets and pillowcases, and a duvet can also be hired on request.

If you prefer not to be away from home for too long, there is also the option of booking a day trip or having a party on board.

On our trips, we take you into a world without worries. The wind decides where the trip goes. Along the German or Danish coast, picturesque islands, beautiful bays, small towns, cosy villages or a lonely jetty in the middle of nature. Everything is possible. There is so much to experience that words cannot describe it – you have to experience it for yourself!

Sailing trips

Single travellers, families and small groups who want to experience an active yet relaxing holiday on a traditional sailing ship have the opportunity to take part in the following sailing trips. Don’t worry, sailing experience is not necessary – anyone can join! The Pegasus is sailed by an experienced and qualified crew who will guide you the right way. Learn the basics of sailing on a traditional sailing ship, climb into the jib net and set sails. If you want, it is also possible to take the helm yourself under supervision.

After arriving on board, you will be welcomed by the captain and his crew and the main ‘rules of the ship’ will be explained to you. You will get to know your fellow sailors and together the voyage/route will be discussed. On the first day of sailing, you will get detailed explanations about the ship and sails. Then the sails are hoisted and a course is set for the first destination port. The adventure begins!

Each day we sail for an average of 5-8 hours. At the end of the day, we sail into a cosy harbour or anchor in an idyllic bay. Of course, besides sailing, there is always plenty of time to get to know the local area. The route is never fixed in advance, but depends on weather and wind. Relaxing days with sun and swimming are just as possible as days with high winds and demanding sailing – it’s all in there.

Exploring the tidal flats – North Sea, October 18–26, 2025

27 October 2025

Wonderful trip with the Pegasus from October 18 to 26, 2025. North Sea, tidal flats, Frisian Islands, and coast.The frequent sailing, the sunset on Schiermonnikoog, and the landing on the Groninger Wad were especially beautiful. Even the stormy days in Greetsiel were well spent.

Jan and his crew navigated the ship safely and professionally. Despite the unexpected ending in Greetsiel (weather conditions, storm = force majeure, so no negative point there), it was an unforgettable experience I wouldn’t have wanted to miss – perfect for anyone who enjoys a somewhat rustic trip and appreciates the charm of the Wadden Sea.

All expectations fulfilled.

14 October 2025

The drying out at low tide was absolutely top-notch. My respect to the crew for the “parking” in Cuxhaven, and thank you for the relaxed atmosphere on board. Normally, as an Alpine vacationer used to hut tours, even the somewhat cramped “rooms” couldn’t spoil the travel impressions.

Exploring hidden gems along Denmark’s coasts

15 July 2025

In 12 days, we sailed all the way around the island of Funen. Our captain Jan put in a tremendous effort to ensure we could discover and explore charming and dreamy little towns away from the major ports. The strengths of the Pegasus (such as her shallow draft and great maneuverability) really came into their own. Cooking together as a group with our travel guide was a lot of fun, and accommodating special dietary needs and intolerances was no problem at all. Sailing along under the wonderful guidance of boatswain Sarah and the work on deck (like building a new gangway 😉 ) created many special memories.
