YOUR SAILING AREA
The Baltic
This sailing voyage is a great way to get a taste of exploring the Baltic sea at this time of the year. Low waves and moderate wind speeds are to be expected iso think plenty of fresh sea air, on-board comfort, delicious food from the excellent onboard kitchen mixed with genuine, traditional seamanship. Sail from Flensburg to discover the Danish Archipelago before finishing in the German port town of Eckernfjorde.
After a day of sailing, cross the invisible German-Danish maritime border and shelter in the harbour of Sønderborg, on the island of Als. A major attraction is the castle, with its gardens, within clear sight of our anchorage. Take a walk along the harbour with the historic merchant’s houses and a stroll through the Old Town with its typical Danish tranquillity.

The Baltic Coast
Known for its good sailing and trade routes, the winds across the Baltic remain fairly stable in the summer months providing great conditions for a full set of sails. The Baltic coast along Germany is by far the most sheltered and sailing here provides the perfect opportunity to experience the very best of this coastline. With a multitude of traditional German harbour towns, Eye of the Wind is not short of choices to stop overnight and gives guests a chance to explore ashore. Pass the busy shipping lanes of the Kiel Canal and perhaps stop overnight nearby to watch a plethora of ships and yachts pass through towards Scandinavia.
This coastline also neighbours with the Danish islands of Langeland, Lolland and Ærø which could also be possible stops for Eye of the Wind.

With incredible amounts of character, Eye of the Wind has all the modern amenities and an authentic interior, with a teak maritime décor. Oozing with maritime history, the opportunity to sail on Eye of the Wind is one in a lifetime. This beautiful ship is as eye-catching as they get and she has even featured in several movies, including White Squall, due to her breath-taking appearance as a 1911 brig.
This windjammer offers luxurious holidays on board, cruising some of the most stunning locations in the world.
Although the ship has a large, capable engine, traditional sailing is naturally the preferred mode of travel so there is plenty to get stuck into on deck.

Join the crew at any number of the large maritime festivals they appear at, cruise the European coast, or relish some winter sun and climb aboard for their voyages in the Caribbean – including a transatlantic crossing back from the Caribbean to Portugal.
Thanks to the 6 luxurious cabins, all with ensuite bathrooms, Eye of the Wind can sleep a total of 12 guests ensuring ocean passages can be travelled in true comfort. A large dining area, library and sun deck offer a multitude of different spaces to unwind and to get to know your fellow guests and crew.
