Yacht charter in Northern Europe

Experience the midnight sun

The nights grow shorter and shorter until that nightless day in June when the sun simply refuses to set. It is not the region's only attraction: the fjords, the archipelagos and the local folklore are an adventure in their own right.

The Baltic and the North Sea make a fascinating charter ground for crews with a few miles behind them — thousands of islands, sheltered water, and days so long that a week's cruise feels like a fortnight.

The Baltic and the North Sea, from Stockholm to the Algarve of the north.

Sweden

Sailing in Sweden is a remarkable experience. With some 28,000 islands to explore, you will never run out of ideas for a route — and the Stockholm archipelago alone could keep a crew busy for a season.

Netherlands

The Dutch coast runs from Germany to Belgium, and behind it lies the IJsselmeer and a whole network of sheltered water. Rotterdam and Amsterdam are excellent starting points for sun, sea and easy sailing with family or friends.

Poland & the Masurian lakes

Two very different charters in one country: the Masurian lake district, thousands of connected inland lakes with barely a swell between them, and the Gdańsk bay with its Hanseatic cities on the Baltic coast. Both are outstanding value.
