Sailing in the Helsinki Archipelago
When you want to see maritime Helsinki from beneath the sails, the schooner Kathrina will take you into the archipelago.
Kathrina invites passengers to experience the Helsinki Archipelago from the deck of a traditional sailing vessel. Helsinki’s maritime scenery, beautiful islands and the peaceful rhythm of a schooner travelling under sail create an experience that an ordinary boat trip simply cannot match.
Sailing experiences for everyone
Join a sailing experience with friends, family, colleagues or someone special.
Public sailings are an easy way to see Helsinki from a new perspective and discover traditional sailing without owning a boat or having any previous sailing experience.
Guests who wish to get involved can help raise the sails and may even have a go at the helm. You can also leave the ropes to the crew, focus on the scenery and simply enjoy the journey.
Kathrina has a professional onboard kitchen and a fully licensed bar. Great food and drinks, fresh sea air and the deck of a traditional schooner create a memorable experience for both relaxed summer evenings and special occasions.
Step aboard and let the wind carry you
Current sailing dates, prices, menus and booking options are available on Kathrina’s own website.
Explore the available options, gather your crew and experience maritime Helsinki from the deck of a traditional sailing vessel.
Private charters and events at sea
The schooner Kathrina is also available for private charters.
The historic sailing vessel provides a distinctive setting for corporate events, recreational days, birthdays, weddings and other celebrations. The programme, route and catering can be planned according to the occasion and the preferences of your group.
The onboard kitchen makes it possible to enjoy a meal at sea, allowing the entire event to take place aboard the same vessel – or at least beneath the same open sky. When the walls of a conventional meeting room begin to feel a little too familiar, the deck of a schooner and the Helsinki Archipelago offer a refreshing alternative.
