When Life Is Just A Breeze
There‘s perhaps no form of travel to which this statement applies as perfectly as sailing. The freedom of the open ocean and the elegant flair of seafaring transform our ships themselves into the most beautiful destination of all. And yet sometimes the destination is itself the goal.
From the Panama Canal to St Mark’s Square, from Spain’s culinary hotspots to the glamour of the Côte d’Azur, breathtaking cruising grounds spark an exhilarating anticipation of undiscovered shores. Care to join us?

Stunningly Varied
If you had to pick just one sailing region in your lifetime – perhaps this would be the one. Between savoir-vivre and dolce vita, secluded rocky coves and UNESCO World Heritage sites, the Western Mediterranean is an incredibly diverse port of call.
Here, it pays to travel in an exclusive circle: our elegant yachts call at small harbours where the Mediterranean lifestyle can be experienced up close. Whether Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica, Liguria, or the Côte d’Azur – each journey offers a uniquely captivating blend of art, lifestyle, cuisine, and unforgettable sailing moments.
The sun sets, and the mood rises: we find the perfect spots to savour the Mediterranean lifestyle to the fullest –whether on deck or on land.
Breathtaking Natural Views
From the water, the most spectacular vistas unfurl: rugged coastlines adorned with white limestone cliffs, emerald-green coves, and windswept pines. Especially unforgettable is the approach to Bonifacio with its majestic citadel.
In Excellent Company
Where the terraces of chic restaurants reach right down to the harbour, life is lived on the sunny side. In glamorous coastal towns like Portofino, St. Tropez, Monte Carlo, Porto Cervo or Capri, enjoy this superlative way of life – the epitome of elegance.
Jagged cliffs, blue lavender, and harbour idylls – the spectacular nature and magical southern light have long fascinated painters and writers. In the charming artist villages along the coast, the creative spirit of Matisse, Chagall and Cocteau is very much alive today.
Sicily unfolds its eternal charms in the warm light of the south. On a sun-kissed voyage around the island, you‘ll find the vineyards of Mount Etna, the Baroque towns of the southeast, and the bustling streets of Trapani –Mediterranean diversity, Sicilian style.
La Dolce Vita In Perfection
From north to south, Italy offers a cornucopia of history, culinary delights, and the art of living. Gentle hills, slender cypresses and stone courtyards mould Tuscany into a landscape of longing. On our sailing routes, places like Cinque Terre, Amalfi, Pompeii and Lucca are a must-see – after all, what would the ‚Middle Sea‘ be without its magnificent cultural heritage?
A Feast For Eyes And Palate
A pleasure-filled sail through Mediterranean cuisine: from bouillabaisse to burrata, from Provençal rosé to Etna wine. The variety of regional specialities is a constant inspiration – and not just for our creative kitchen team.
Up Close And Personal
Magnificent Baroque towns and picturesque islands, UNESCO World Heritage sites, waterfalls and wine-tasting – behind the simple word ‚Adriatic‘ lie a thousand colourful facets.
We take you right into the sunny heart of it all, getting up close to the Adriatic’s rich diversity. Our yachts call in at the historic centres of small, charming harbours, showing you the culture of the Croatian coast and the flair of Italian summer retreats like never before.
The SEA CLOUDs are among the few ships still allowed to dock in the heart of Venice. As you glide past St. Mark’s Square, La Serenissima reveals spectacular views of the Campanile and the Doge’s Palace.
The Adriatic
Feel That OldTown Charm
Along the ancient trade routes once plied by Venetian merchants centuries ago, the streets of Rovinj, Korčula, Trogir and Hvar are perfect for a stroll. Narrow old-town lanes and Baroque façades, tiny squares and colourful markets create a striking contrast to the modern lifestyle of the Adriatic’s jet-set hotspots.
By day, the azure sky lights up the fishing boats, forts and terracotta rooftops; in the evening, the sun bathes the picturesque streets in a soft orange glow. Our SEA CLOUDs drift leisurely through the Adriatic, sailing into the most beautiful places at the perfect time.
As you leave the turquoise waters of the Croatian coast behind, you‘ll discover a green hinterland rich with its own unique charm. In the region’s inimitable hillscape, picturesque vineyards and natural wonders like the spectacular Krka waterfalls are just waiting to be explored.
Divine Summer Days
Sun-kissed mountain slopes and azure bays paint a backdrop for bright white villages: The Greek island worlds are the home of lighthearted summer vibes.
At their own unhurried pace and with plenty of time to uncover hidden treasures, the SEA CLOUDs set off on a Mediterranean tour of discovery through the Aegean. Far from the well-trodden routes, the gentle, warm winds carry our yachts from island to island. Between cliffside monasteries and secluded bathing coves, ancient olive groves and atmospheric tavernas, Greece reveals itself in all its authentic charm.
Thanks to short distances between the islands and favourable winds, the Aegean is a dream destination for yachts. Enjoy the perfect mix: sail to your heart‘s content during the day and then stroll through the quaint harbours to savour the balmy summer evenings.
In The Heart Of It All
Poros, Milos, Amorgos, Syros – never heard of these islands? That’s exactly what makes them so appealing! We set out to discover the Aegean‘s hidden treasures, those a little more off the beaten track. And we drop anchor in small coves that haven’t yet made it onto every travel blog.
A quick dip before lunch, a leisurely swim to a little sandy cove, or a short detour to a beach club – because the SEA CLOUDs are closer to both land and people, there’s plenty of room for spontaneous ideas. The sea invites you to simply let go: cheerful, light, and carefree.
Seize The Day –The Greek Way
What exactly makes the Cyclades’ summer vibe so special? Perhaps it’s the freedom to simply follow your curiosity. Drop in for a drink at a harbourside taverna, explore a secluded mountain monastery, or admire the burst of colour from a bougainvillea bush – creating intense, memorable moments is the greatest gift of these little islands.
A Region To Savour
When culture comes alive from June onwards and towns and villages celebrate summer, that’s the ideal moment to explore the Atlantic coast. The region’s distinctive landscapes along its Portuguese, Spanish and French coasts transform into a haven for food lovers.
The SEA CLOUDs set course for regional diversity, combining art, culture, and gastronomy into a succulent journey of discovery. Along the way, doors often open that remain closed to others – whether in the wine cellars of famous châteaux or during special openings of art museums.
The Guggenheim in Bilbao is renowned for its architecture alone. At an evening VIP event, SEA CLOUD guests are assured of complete exclusivity.
Favourite Cities In One Go
Proud seafaring towns, vibrant art metropolises, and famous pilgrimage sites: the coasts of western Europe combine refined living with a rich cultural heritage. Lisbon, with its façades adorned with azulejos, Porto’s picturesque old-town streets, Bordeaux and its wine cellars, Bilbao, La Rochelle, and Honfleur – each is worth a trip in its own right. Even better when you can connect several of these fascinating towns on a single sailing route.
The Atlantic Serves Up A Feast
The Atlantic coast is a region for true connoisseurs. Its wild and romantic landscapes give birth to an exquisite culinary diversity. From pintxos in the Basque Country and Normandy cider, to delicious oysters and fresh fish from Brittany, and on to fine Bordeaux wines, cognacs, and Pineau – land and sea combine to lay out a lavish table.
Whether champagne tasting, a tapas platter, or a cheese-and-wine pairing, the SEA CLOUDs’ creative kitchen teams draw inspiration from the local culinary culture and bring regional specialities to life on board.
Fresh Winds And Novel Flavours
Churches that were once mosques, train stations adorned with arabesque patterns, mosaic-decorated courtyards – in southern Spain, the styles of different cultures and continents blend with remarkable artistry. Over 700 years of Moorish rule have left their stamp on both architecture and cuisine.
A fascinating focus for a sailing journey: we explore the surprising contrasts and links between Iberian lifestyle and Oriental art, and rediscover the seemingly familiar landscapes of Andalusia, Morocco, and the Balearic Islands in a wholly new light.
In the ancient towns of southern Spain, you’ll find breathtaking masterpieces of Moorish Mudéjar architecture. The Royal Alcázar in Seville, Málaga’s Alcazaba, and Cádiz – Europe’s oldest city – are just a few of the highlights.
Southern Europe & Morocco
Mint Tea, Magic And Minarets
Sun-yellow spices, lush green mountain valleys, and walls of red rammed earth – when we set sail for Morocco, a journey into a world of colour begins. Here, the allure of 1001 Nights blends seamlessly with modern life. Fairy-tale royal city or trendy metropolis? Traditional tea house or hip bar? In Morocco, a surprising discovery awaits you round every corner.
The Extraordinary In The Spotlight
Unusual locations produce exceptional experiences. The region’s cultural richness has inspired us to create unparalleled events and experiences in hitherto familiar places – whether at a reception in the French Embassy in Tangier, on a Mallorcan finca, or after-hours at the Picasso Museum in Málaga.
Perfect Balance: Between southern Spain and North Africa, our routes can be perfectly planned to offer an ideal mix of leisurely days on board and immersive onshore explorations.
Islands Full Of Character
The archipelagos of the Atlantic have a surprising diversity that isn’t obvious at first. The Canary Islands, the Azores and Madeira are far too fascinating to simply pass on by.
The SEA CLOUDs invite you to experience these islands’ vibrant cultures and untamed, creative nature more fully – and with a touch of exclusivity. You’ll always be in the right place at the right time: midday for a hike through Lanzarote’s vineyards, at sunset atop El Hierro’s Mirador de La Peña, or stargazing on deck.
Immerse yourself fullly in the islands’ culture at exclusive events, such as a concert in the lava caves of Jameos del Agua – co-designed by the artist César Manrique.
A Toast To The Azores
The dry summer months are the ideal time to visit these small, green, mid-Atlantic islands. Basking in the unique climate brought by the Gulf Stream, giant tree ferns and lush hydrangea hedges line entire streets, while whales and dolphins cavort just off the coast.
The whistled language of El Silbo, the Canarian Timple, or Azorean Verdelho wine: bringing local culture to life is our motto on these multifaceted islands, whose people are always happy to share their secrets and specialities with us.
Naturally Active
Although all the islands are born from volcanos, they couldn’t be more diverse. Moss-clad laurel forests and enchanted waterfalls strike a stark contrast to bizarre lunar landscapes and dramatic cliffs. On foot or by e-bike, the national parks and natural wonders can be experienced up close and hands-on.
Endless Horizons
Truly a bucket-list moment: as the ship leaves the port of Las Palmas, the promise of the infinite ocean lies ahead, and the salty sea air clears your mind.
On a transatlantic crossing, the sense of freedom at sea is felt with breathtaking intensity. As the SEA CLOUDs set their sails for the Caribbean in late November, the trade winds provide perfect sailing conditions, and warmth grows with every nautical mile. This is the pinnacle of sailing cruises – and for many, the fulfilment of a lifelong dream.
Watching our sailors hoist the sails by hand is a sight that never grows stale.
Time For New Perspectives
A journey across the Atlantic creates encounters and experiences that will stay with you for life. Our ships are a place for connecting with fascinating people: fellow travellers, lecturers, artists, experts, and a crew devoted to looking after every detail with warmth and care.
Sea Time = Me Time: a fortnight totally offline, immersing yourself in the ultimate sailing adventure and complete relaxation – a transatlantic crossing is the perfect journey for when you want to switch off.
Quality Time From Deck To Horizon
Whether it’s a lecture, stargazing, or a visit to the bridge, every moment invites you to gather new inspiration. Yoga on deck, a work-out with a sea view, and rejuvenating spa treatments make this sailing journey a true source of energy.
Caribbean Colours
The Caribbean and Central America are dream destinations for anyone yearning for white sandy beaches and lush nature. With the trusty trade winds billowing our sails, yachts both large and small drift through the sun-soaked summer days in this idyllic sailing region.
What do you long for most – the laissez-faire lifestyle of the Antilles or the lush, tropical charms of Central America? The choice is yours: enjoy perfect sailing days and relax in hidden pirate coves, or encounter sloths, macaws and more in the rainforest while uncovering the secrets of the ancient Mayan civilisation.
Where large cruise ships have to retreat, the SEA CLOUDs sail straight into the heart of the Caribbean vibe. And, just like locals, the crew casually start up the Zodiac’s outboard motor for the next excursion.
The Caribbean & Central America
Relish That Barefoot Feeling
In the Lesser Antilles, the next cove is always within reach: after hours of enjoyable sailing, relaxed afternoons at anchor, onshore visits to small, vibrant towns, or a quiet drink at a rustic beach bar await you. Immersing yourself so fully in the colourful rhythms of the Caribbean – that’s only possible under sail.
A Wealth Of New Favourites
When the anchor drops against a stunning backdrop, stress fades away between the palm-fringed beaches and white sails. Kick off your shoes, smile, and go with the flow –among like-minded sailing aficionados from around the world, life becomes an easygoing wonder.
Where life is lived outdoors: crystal-clear waters, a cool cocktail in hand, and relaxed beats in the background. At our beach barbecues right on the sand, life can be savoured to the fullest.
The Caribbean & Central America
Fascinating Contrasts
Central America is proud of its rich cultural history. Between Costa Rica, Panama, and Mexico, this diversity appears as vibrant and lively as the tropics themselves – mysterious as the ancient Mayan sites and as colourful as the colonial façades.
The Panama Canal, a masterpiece of engineering, has linked the Pacific and Atlantic for over a century. Passing through its massive locks by day is a truly memorable experience.
A True Eden
A rich, protected region: with more than 160 reserves and national parks, Costa Rica and Panama are true oases of biodiversity. Hummingbirds, howler monkeys, and orchids have a safe haven here. Adventure-seekers will find their thrill on hikes through lush tropical landscapes, canoe trips through mangroves, or high above the treetops on a zipline.
