Hello sailor!

Dockyard tour

Our retired boat captains will take you on a dockyard tour, and show you sights which the public normally never sees – for example, the inside of an engine room and a visit to a boat wheelhouse. They'll be happy to share their experiences with you. And also tell a sailor's tale or two. (in German only)
