The 5 Best Germany Sailing Tours

1.Rostock: Full-Day, Half-Day, or Sunset Sailing Experience

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 174 reviews · 30 minutes - 7 hours · from $86Our pick

Sail the Baltic from Rostock on a yacht with a skipper, coastal views, sunset options, and hands-on sailing for up to seven hours.

“Skipper Kai ist toll! Als nicht erfahrene Seglerin konnte ich wunderbar von seinen Erläuterungen profitieren. Kai ist superentspannt und kann sehr gut erklären und nimmt sich auch viel Zeit für Nichtsegler. Man fühlt sich extrem sicher bei ihm und er weiß, was er tut. Ich mochte seine Art. Und natürlich, dass er uns immer wieder das Boot hat steuern lassen. Wir hatten einen Traumsegeltag auf einer großen Yacht. Wenn das Charterunternehmen jetzt noch Getränke oder zumindest Mineralwasser für seine Gäste bereit hielte, wäre das eine nette Servicegeste und dem Preis angemessen.”

5.Hamburg Small-Group Sunset Sailing Cruise on Lake Alster

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 91 reviews · 1 hour (approx.) · from $46Top rated

Review of Hamburg’s small-group Alster sunset sail, with skyline views, one drink, practical tips, value notes, and honest drawbacks.

“We booked this as part of our exploration of Hamburg. Based on the other reviews we expected it to be a good experience. Unfortunately we were left a bit disappointed. We arrived on time at the ticket office, there was a bit of a queue, which meant we had to wait. Once we got to the front we were told that the boat was about to leave and we needed to be somewhere else. This wasn't clear by the meeting point directions we were provided with. The captain also complained we were late, although there is no indication that we were meant to arrive earlier than the time listed in…”
