Flying Dutchman (Tallship)

At 39 x 6.5 m the Flying Dutchman took to the water in 1903. The rebuild of the former herring luger took place in 2004 and included the addition of 10 comfortable guest cabins each with shower and WC, a salon below the main deck and the cozy seats on deck. The impressive sail size of 480 sqm makes for a very special sailing experience as you journey from island to island. Of course the captain welcomes the active help of his guests when it comes to rigging the sails. Characteristic features - Tallship journeys - Our Tallships mostly do not fit into small fishing harbors and therefore spend the majority of their nights on anchor. This means that a dinghy transfer is necessary to get to land. Additionally a tidal difference may affect accessibility of the boat on our tours in Great Britain. In some cases it may be necessary to climb a ladder to get on/off the boat or that the use of a dinghy/tender might be necessary for embarkation/disembarkation. Surefootedness and a certain degree of agility are required to get on and off the boat. Needless to say, our tour guides will lend you a helping hand. In general: Please do not forget that the ship is your hotel as well as a machine, which has to be maintained and operated – day and night. A certain level of noise is therefore inevitable. Itinerary Changes - We reserve the right to make changes to the planned itinerary due to changing wind and weather conditions as well as organizational requirements.

- 8-day cruise on a tallship with crew
