Summer cruises with Danske Tursejlere

As a member of Danske Tursejlere, you can join our annual summer cruises for free. Every year we plan new trips to different destinations, and the trips usually take place both in Denmark and abroad. The trips are for everyone, both sailboats and motorboats, and every year we try to create different types of summer trips that match different wishes and needs:

Summer cruises for everyone - no requirements or restrictions for participation
Kids cruises - for those with children or grandchildren
Singles cruises - for those who are alone and need either a guest or boat

If you are not already a member of Danske Tursejlere, you can become one here

Safety in the community

You don't have to be an experienced sailor to join the summer cruises. It is precisely in the community that the cruises have their strength, and many beginners have joined to try their hand at longer trips. It's reassuring to know that there are others nearby who are ready with good advice and a helping hand, and who you can join if you feel like it.

The sailing trip itself is an experience in itself. You get to travel far and wide, see a wide variety of nature and of course try out sailing in varying conditions. Some expeditions have included canal sailing in Sweden, others crossing the Baltic Sea. Of course, the weather is also an important factor that the group deals with along the way.

Different train leaders

Each summer cruise has a volunteer cruise leader who has planned the trip in advance whenever possible. The cruise leader plans the sailing route, activities and excursions, but often delegates tasks to the participants. The skipper is also responsible for contact with the ports of call and much more. Skippers' meetings are held as needed to plan the next leg and share other important information.

How many joint activities there are on a summer cruise depends a lot on the cruise leader and the possibilities on the route. On some summer cruises, participants have enjoyed sharing the vast majority of experiences and sights, while on other cruises, some days participants have preferred to explore on their own. This is another advantage of summer cruises - you can go to and from the activities as you please.

Especially about single journeys

In 2023, we organized our first singles cruise in collaboration with sejlerdating.dk, which was a great success and something that single sailors had long been asking for. Many single sailors have the boat but lack the guests, while others lack the boat. That's why this is the only one of our summer cruises where you don't necessarily need a boat to join. When you sign up, you indicate whether you have your own boat and have room for guests, or if you need a place on a boat. If you have your own boat, it is a requirement that guests can get a closed cabin. The secretariat will then carefully match guests and boats. On these trips, it is the community that takes center stage, and if love strikes, it is just a plus, but not the purpose of the trips.
