For the very special dream destinations such as the Caribbean, the South Seas or the Seychelles, circumnavigator Mareike Guhr is the right contact. She knows her way around all the oceans and passionately describes the most beautiful anchorages on our planet. She is also happy to provide information about the North Sea, the Baltic Sea and many areas of the Mediterranean.
She is an experienced skipper, sailing journalist and the blue water expert in the team. Therefore she is happy to advise long-distance sailors and those who want to become one. As an enthusiastic multihull sailor, she is also an expert for catamaran cruises.
As a long-time skipper on charter trips, Monika Lehn has extensive knowledge of the area. She knows what is important when chartering and planning a trip and is able to assess which areas are suitable for the respective crew. She is also happy to recommend worthwhile destinations for shore excursions.
Her main areas of focus in the Mediterranean are Greece, Croatia, Southern France, Italy, Malta and Corsica. She is also happy to advise on transfers between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea and is very familiar with the Canary Islands and the Seychelles. She has extended her experience with tidal waters on the French Atlantic coast and in northern Australia. She often sails with all-female crews.
The social education worker and systemic counsellor explored the German Bight and the Wadden Sea intensively on her self-built cruising catamaran at the end of the 1990s. Many cruises followed and in 2015 she made sailing her main profession. Today, she organises and accompanies crews in various sailing areas and passes on her practical knowledge in individual sailing training. In particular, she likes to support women in strengthening their self-confidence in their own abilities and in developing their sailing skills. More information about the person at www.Monika-Lehn.de

Jürgen Straßburger - Expert for Croatia, European inland waters and beginner topics
Since the 1970s, the journalist, born in 1945, has been on the water - under sail and under motor. After numerous passage trips to the Mediterranean, he turned his hobby into a profession at the end of the 1980s: He took over the helm of the travel section at the motorboat magazine BOOTE, which he headed until 2010. Since 2010 he has been working as a freelance water sports author: He has published several inland guides and two coastal handbooks on Croatia. For BOOTE, he continues to write regularly on the topic of getting started in water sports."
Jürgen Straßburger advises motorboat drivers on all areas in inland waters in Germany, France, the Netherlands, Belgium and Italy and on the Danube up to and including Budapest. But also more unusual inland waters like the Göta Canal in Sweden, the Intra Coastal Waterway in the USA or the canals and lakes in England and Scotland can be found in his repertoire. Straßburger also knows the most beautiful corners and routes in the coastal waters of the Ionian Sea, Montenegro, Croatia, Italy, Spain (incl. Balearic Islands) and France in the Mediterranean Sea, Germany, Denmark, Sweden (west coast), Norway (south coast), Poland and Lithuania (Klaipeda incl. Curonian Lagoon & Nemunas Delta) on the Baltic Sea coast. Of course, the German and Dutch North Sea coasts are not missing.
