What to expect

This emission-free sail trip will take you past the large dry docks and container ships in the Port of Hamburg, and past Övelgönne, the "Old Swede", Teufelsbrück and the Airbus factories into the Mühlenberger Loch. Opposite is the hilly and exclusive Blankenese with its staircase district, directly in front of the first Elbe island of Schweinesand with its magnificent beaches.

There are no age restrictions and no previous experience is necessary. The level of activity on board during the trip is determined by each sailor. Whichever way the wind blows, you'll sail on towards Wedel, along the Falkensteiner Ufer, until just before the Willkom-Höft ship's welcome station. Then you'll reach the state border of Schleswig-Holstein before the tour takes you back to the City Sporthafen Hamburg.

Where

City Sporthafen Hamburg e.V., Vorsetzen, Hamburg, Germany

Meeting point:

From/to Hamburg: In Hamburg, it is best to take public transportation and get off at U Baumwall / Elbphilharmonie. You can also navigate by car to Vorsetzen 1, 20459 Hamburg. This is the address of "CITY SPORTHAFEN HAMBURG", location in Hamburg: In the harbor basin, opposite the ESPRESSO HOUSE (Vorsetzen 31, 20459 Hamburg) on the promenade, there is the ROTE FEUERSCHIFF (a floating, red, real, old ship with a small lighthouse on top, which is operated as a restaurant and hotel etc. - not to be confused with a fire boat). There you go all the way down the pier. Then, standing in front of the lightship, turn right. There you will be picked up BEFORE a gate that denies access: "STOP, do NOT continue here".
