Diesen Sommer durfte ich mit sailwithus und unserem fantastischen Skipper Timo an einem unvergesslichen Segeltörn auf dem Peloponnes teilnehmen. Gemeinsam mit einer wunderbaren Crew haben wir eine großartige Zeit erlebt. Besonders beeindruckt hat mich, wie perfekt man beim Segeln vom Alltag abschalten kann – der ideale Kurzurlaub für eine Woche! Auch ohne jegliche Segelerfahrung fühlte ich mich rundum gut aufgehoben und werde definitiv wieder einen Törn buchen!
What an amazing experience!! The boat was brandnew, the crew exceptional fun and the week was the perfect blend of sailing, chilling, great meals, island discoveries, massages, and parties.
Big shoutout to Skipper Andre for your stellar performance and keeping the spirit up despite the rain!
Das Skipper Training war einfach super! Das Wort "Praxis" wird hier wirklich umgesetzt, ich habe sehr viel gelernt diese Woche. Nicht nur seglerisch, sondern auch zwischenmenschlich. Vielen Dank an das Team!
​⭐️ Karibik-Törn der Extraklasse mit Skipper André ⭐️
​Unser Karibik-Törn mit Skipper André war eine traumhafte Erfahrung und voller unvergesslicher Momente!
​André ist ein ausgezeichneter Skipper, der uns Segelkunde weitervermittelt und gelehrt hat. Kulinarisch ein Muss: Das leckere BBQ und vor allem Andrés Spezialität – das beste selbstgemachte Rührei am Morgen!
​Wir genossen atemberaubende Strände, Badestopps und Ankerplätze. Absolut empfehlenswert für alle, die Abenteuer, Entspannung und Genuss suchen!
Der Karibik-Törn ist insbesondere mit unserem Skipper „André“ sehr empfehlenswert.

André hat uns sehr viele schöne Orte und Strände gezeigt. Er war schon öfters in der Karibik unterwegs und kennt sich wirklich sehr gut aus.

Für mich war es der erste Segeltörn und eine wirklich tolle Erfahrung. Es wird wahrscheinlich nicht mein letzter Törn gewesen sein.

Es war sehr schön zu sehen, wie unser Skipper André seine Leidenschaft tagtäglich ausgelebt hat und uns mit seiner Begeisterung angesteckt hat. Er hat versucht bei jeder Gelegenheit die Segel zu setzen, auch wenn die Bedingungen nicht immer ideal waren.
Großartige Crew, traumhaftes Wetter, beeindruckende Landschaften und ein herausragender Skipper. André kennt die Region wie kaum ein anderer. Er führte uns zu den schönsten Plätzen und hat die besten Kontakte zu den Locals. Mehr geht wirklich nicht!
Sogar die Nachbarboote waren neidisch und wollten seine Tipps hören. Neben den schönen Buchten war für mich das gemeinsame Sterne- und Sternschnuppenschauen am Abend das Highlight.
Ich bin selten so entspannt aus einem Urlaub zurückgekommen und das war sicher nicht mein letzter Törn mit André. Klare Empfehlung!
Meine Freundin und ich haben uns im November 2025 mit sailwithus auf den Weg nach Martinique gemacht. Dort trafen wir auf unsere tolle Crew und unseren Skipper André – und schon nach kurzer Zeit war klar: Wir sind bei jemandem gelandet, der nicht nur über ausgezeichnete Segelerfahrung verfügt, sondern die Gegend wie seine Westentasche kennt und bestens mit den Einheimischen vernetzt ist.

Wir haben an traumhaft schönen Spots angelegt, konnten unglaublich viel schnorcheln und baden, und André hat uns jeden Tag unvergessliche Strand-Barbecues ermöglicht. Nebenbei brachte er uns viel übers Segeln und das Leben am anderen Ende der Welt bei.

Ein Satz von ihm bleibt uns besonders in Erinnerung:
„Wenn man keine Angst hat, ist es auch nicht gefährlich 😎 – also Leute, traut euch!“

Für uns waren es zwei erfüllende, perfekte Wochen auf dem Meer. Wir sagen Danke – und hoffen auf ein Wiedersehen auf einem der Weltmeere.
Absolute Empfehlung für André!“

Liebe Grüße

Steffi & Johannes
Ich war im November auf dem Teneriffa-Törn mit Skipperin Elena – und der Törn hat all meine Erwartungen übertroffen. Wind, Meer und Landschaft waren einfach grandios. Wir sind in den Sonnenaufgang gesegelt, haben in einsamen Buchten geschnorchelt und das Inselleben erkundet.

Unsere Crew hat perfekt zusammengepasst, und wir hatten eine fantastische Zeit an Bord. Elena hat ihren Job großartig gemacht: Obwohl ich bereits den SKS habe, konnte ich unglaublich viel dazulernen und vor allem an Sicherheit gewinnen.

Alles in allem ein herausragender Urlaub – und ganz sicher nicht mein letzter Sailwithus-Törn! 😉
Eine wirkliche Herzensempfehlung! Danke für diese einzigartige und wunderschöne Reise. Ich bin im August mit sailwithus um die Kykladen gesegelt und es war einfach nur traumhaft schön. Unsere Crew, skip Konrad, wunderschönes Wetter, ein tolles Boot und viel leckeres Essen und Drinks haben den Trip zu einem ganz besonderen Urlaub gemacht. Wer also abschalten , zugleich aber auch Spaß haben und etwas übers Segeln lernen möchte, ich bei sailwithus an der richtigen Adresse. Bis bald
Super schöner Törn, mit coolem Skipper. Würde ich sofort weiterempfehlen

Leave everyday life behind and feel the freedom of the waves—together with your crew, where everyone pitches in. Our experienced skippers are always there to support you. Discover the treasures and adventures of the sea as the sails flutter in the wind and the sun paints a golden pattern on the waves. And as a bonus, enjoy a sailing course on board from your German-speaking skipper.

Some people fear getting seasick on their vacation. But don’t worry: our suggested routes focus on short sailing legs and distances, so you’ll usually spend only three to six hours at sea.

Is sailing together the right choice for you?

The Forever Young trip is perfect for anyone who wants to experience an adventurous week with a mix of sailing, relaxing, shore excursions, and culinary and scenic highlights.
Your sailing journey includes the yacht, the skipper, and the sailing tour on site. You organize your own travel to the departure point.
Our modern yachts have three to six cabins, accommodating five to a maximum of twelve people. If you’re traveling alone, you’ll share a cabin with a same-gender crew member. Prefer to sleep alone? Upon request, you can also book a single cabin—completely up to you!

Click & click. Photography is like air to breathe.

Photography and vacation go hand in hand. On your sailing holiday, you’ll find plenty of photo opportunities along the stunning coastlines. Each day, you and your crew, together with your skipper, decide what the day’s plan will look like. A swim and water fun in a secluded bay, or docking in the harbor for a shore excursion to explore the local culture? Cook yourselves or eat in a traditional local restaurant? The choice is yours!

Are you traveling as a group? A 3-cabin yacht is available with us starting from €3,600, accommodating up to 6 people while giving you plenty of privacy just for yourselves! Of course, we also offer larger yachts.

Set Sail for a Sailing Experience Tailored to Your Taste

Leave your watch at home and experience a different kind of holiday on your sailing trip. Feel the indescribable sense of freedom and pure relaxation as you sail through the water under the sun on your yacht.

Together with your crew, you decide each day anew how your day will unfold. On a sailing trip, you choose your next destination “according to the wind and your mood.”

On every yacht, there is a so-called onboard cash fund. Each crew member contributes to this communal fund, from which you pay for almost everything on site: provisions, fuel, harbor fees, and excursions. As a crew, you can decide exactly how the onboard fund is used. Cook yourselves or eat out? Completely up to your taste. By the way, the skipper’s meals are always included in this fund, following old seafaring tradition!

For sailing enthusiasts and those who are about to become one

Our crew members usually come from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. At the beginning, you get to know each other with the classic “W” questions: “What’s your name?”, “Where are you from?”, or “How often have you sailed before?”. But don’t worry—you don’t need sailing experience to enjoy an unforgettable sailing trip with us. Sometimes there are crew members with a few years of experience on board, sometimes only beginners. What’s always there, however, is an experienced skipper you can rely on completely. They explain everything and provide individual guidance so that by the end of the week, you’ll want to do everything yourself.

The charter dates for this year are already set. So grab your swimwear and sail along!

The Fascination of Sailing Together: Participation Welcome!

On our sailing holiday, you’re an active crew member and an integral part of the team.

But relaxation isn’t neglected: there’s always plenty of time to lounge and let your mind wander if you wish. Pure relaxation!

Your vacation date is already fully booked. . .

Worried about missing out on a spot? Don’t worry: there’s usually still a free place with us! The season starts in April/May and ends in October. Booking early is always a good idea, but we can also offer various last-minute deals for those who decide spontaneously. Choose your preferred week and region, and experience our unforgettable Forever Young trip for yourself.

Your Most Frequently Asked Questions

No, you don’t need any prior experience. Our sailing trips are for everyone – whether you’re completely new to sailing or already have some experience. Throughout the week, our skippers will teach you everything you need to know and make sure you’re always safe and well taken care of.

That depends on the type of trip you book. On our Youngline trip, your fellow sailors will be between 18 and 39 years old. On our Forever Young trip, they are between 40 and 59 years old. For our themed and training trips (Green Ahoi, Yoga, SKS), there is no age limit.

All crew members meet on Saturday between 2 and 4 p.m. at the marina. Around 5 p.m., you’ll board the yacht, and after a detailed safety briefing the next morning, you’ll set sail. A later arrival on Saturday evening is theoretically possible, but we don’t recommend it – please coordinate with your fellow crew members via WhatsApp in advance!

Our fellow sailors and skippers come from the DACH region (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland), so the main language on board will be German. However, all skippers speak English, and international sailors are very welcome.

On the first day of the sailing trip, cabins will be assigned. The crew and skippers can choose their cabins based on their preferences and needs. Generally, cabins are assigned with gender separation. If you would like to stay with a specific person or prefer not to share a cabin with someone of a different gender, feel free to mention this during booking. We will take your preferences into account.

We sail on modern yachts of various sizes: 3-cabin, 4-cabin, 5-cabin, and 6-cabin yachts. Accordingly, there are between 5 and 12 fellow sailors on board.
