What type of boat is best for Copenhagen? 

When you set sail from one of Northern Europe's coolest cities to cruise between the beautiful islands nearby, it's important to choose the right type of boat for your preferences and requirements:

If you want a genuine sailing experience and, above all, see the journey as the goal itself, we recommend hiring a sailing yacht. This will give you the opportunity to trim the sails to maximize the knots. Or why not sunbathe on the foredeck and enjoy a swim from the aft jetty.

Have a limited schedule but still want to cover as many destinations as possible? Then chartering a motorboat or an RIB boat is optimal! With a motorboat or RIB boat, you can cover long distances quickly and therefore reach many destinations in a short time!

Where to sail in Copenhagen? 

When sailing from Copenhagen, there are many nice destinations you can reach! We have therefore listed some different destination suggestions here depending on how much time you have and how long you want to sail:

Ven

At a relatively close sailing distance from Copenhagen is Ven. This island is located in the middle of the Öresund and is a fantastic island to sail to. Coming from Denmark, Kyrkbacken is a natural port to dock in and also one of the cosiest on the island.

In the harbour, there are a couple of restaurants, a fish stall, and bike rentals where you can rent a bike and explore the island. There are also many good barbecue areas and the long jetty is perfect for an evening swim.

Elsinore

If you sail north from Ven, you will soon reach Elsinore. There is a nice and well-kept harbour with all the facilities you could need. In one part of the harbour, there are also a number of very beautiful, older ships that are worth stopping to look at.

Just a stone's throw from the harbour is Kronborg Castle, the pride of Helsingborg. The castle is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and it was here that Shakespeare's historic play Hamlet was set.

Anholt

If you continue your boat trip north, you will then come to Anholt. The sailing is a little longer, but it's definitely worth it! For a long time, the island was only accessible to sailors, which means that today it is still relatively isolated and lives its own life.

The island is a paradise for water sports: kite surfing and windsurfing are popular activities. The whole island also has a relaxed, laid-back feel and is lined with beautiful beaches with blue seas that on sunny days give a real southern feel.

Bornholm

If you choose to sail south instead, you can head to Bornholm. The sailing is a little longer, and you may need to make a stop at the southern tip of Sweden, but once you're there you won't regret it!

It's a popular holiday island with lush green landscapes and Denmark's only granite cliffs. Don't forget to visit Dueodde beach, one of Denmark's finest beaches. After enjoying the beautiful beach and taking a swim, don't forget to finish your visit at Bornholm's famous Michelin restaurant, Kadeau.
