We invite you to join us for an unforgettable day charter aboard our beautiful Elizabethan 31—a classic, elegant British yacht perfectly suited for navigating the stunning waters of the Finnish archipelago.
A Shared History & Expert Skipper
What makes this voyage truly unique is the story behind it. Your skipper is a former naval reserve officer, bringing both professional seamanship and a deep passion for maritime history to your journey.
There is also a fascinating historical twist for our British guests: in 1855, during the Crimean War, the Royal Navy arrived at Svartholma and bombarded the fortress, leaving it in ruins. Today, we return to the very same waters in peace, flying the sails of a classic British-designed yacht!
