Join us for sailing on a comfy Jeanneau Yacht
in Croatia
After 4 years of enjoyable sailing in Greece, I'm drawing back to the beautiful and well-known Coast of Croatia.
So the season starts in May 2023 in Preveza (Greece), where the FAIR LADY is currently wintering, and hang comfortably north, along Albania and Montenegro, past the Croatian coastal city of Dubrovnik to Split, where I want to enjoy the beautiful islands with you.
From there we will travel in 1-, 2- or even multi-week trips, which are individually adaptable, to Zadar and at the end of the season to Pula, not least because there I'll find the best options to equip the FAIR LADY for a little adventure and my big sailing dream: the
Atlantic crossing on the barefoot route from September to December 2024.
Of course, I would like to promote this great trip in autumn and winter 2024 and am looking forward to ambitious sailors who also want to fulfill their dream of crossing the Atlantic without any time pressure. Just talk to me if you are interested
The route will run from Malaga (September 2024) via Gibraltar and Madeira to the Canary Islands (October 2024). From there to Cape Verde (November 2024) and finally to the Caribbean (December 2024). For me, this trip is not about a race across the pond but in addition to the sailing pleasure and life on board also about the diverse countries, cultures and people that we will meet on this great transatlantic.
By the way: there is no minimum number of participants from which a trip starts with me and on the FAIR LADY. As an extremely enthusiastic sailor, I want to be on the road, preferably with people who share this passion and want to accompany me. The trips 2023 will definitely be driven as shown in the trip plan; even if there was no or only one guest on board.
Super special for those who want privacy:
when paying for 4 berths (with a maximum occupancy of 4 persons) the ship is booked exclusively for your group !!!
I am looking forward to seeing you and to a beautiful and eventful sailing year 2023,
your Didi

SAILORS' DREAMS
COME TRUE!
In 2024, the time has finally come: the FAIR LADY will go on a long journey across the big pond.Starting from Pula (Croatia) in May, it goes until the beginning of September across the Mediterranean to Malaga (Spain) - passing the most beautiful islands and destinations.
From Malaga, the great adventure of the transatlantic starts: in multi-week trips via Madeira, the Canary Islands and Cape Verde we will sail on the barefoot route without any time pressure into the beautiful island world of the Lesser Antilles.
Join me on this journey!
Take over the helm!
You would like to sail? Do you know how to sail? You not only may sail - you are invited to sail.
If you are an ambitious sailor and wish to increase your experience with valuable tips or if you just prefer to leave the big responsibility of chartering your own yacht in the hands of a skipper:
you are always welcome to live up to your desire and take over the helm.
This not only applies to the handling and management of the yacht, but also for challenging maneuvres such as berthing during strong winds.
Ever a watchful eye I will be right there should any situation become precarious. At all other times sailing enthusiasts will have the opportunity to extend and deepen their experience.
Focus on what you are really here for - sailing!
No burden of responsibility for other sailors travelling with you, no tiring handover procedure when you have chartered your own yacht and no worry about the condition of the ship.
There are many reasons for a sailing trip with the FAIR LADY - why charter yourself?

BERTH CHARTER IN
CROATIA
SAILING TRIPS FOR
ONE OR MORE WEEKS
BETWEEN DUBROVNIK AND PULA
OFFER
Join me on part of the journey and experience the trip of a lifetime:
a sailing trip on a spacious, comfortable and sleek owner yacht.
In 2023 I am sailing along the Croatian coast and look forward to welcoming you aboard. Here you will find both the space and the time for an unforgettable holiday experience.
TWO WEEKS ON BOARD
Ideally you would take that time to completely relax and switch off from the daily routine and recharge your batteries. After 2 - 4 days you begin to feel integrated and now you can leave your world behind. Staying 2 or more weeks aboard will offer you a lot of added values: more experience and action, more fun and joy, more enjoyment and relaxation.
DIVERSITY AND BEAUTY
----------------------------------------- ON A COMFORTABLE SAILING YACHT -----------------------------------------
Two factors essentially determine the trips:
the current conditions - such as wind and weather - and you, my guests.
Before starting a sailing trip I take into consideration all your individual wishes and needs within the range of possibilities. We discuss routes and destinations, give tips to nature and cultural treasures which are well worth visiting, recommend Konobas and restaurants. All in all I wish to create a balanced, intensive and diversified sailing trip.
Every morning we enjoy the luxury of mapping the day according to our desires.
Throughout our sailing trips, due to different weather conditions and locations, we often experience a mix of the following possible trip scenarios:
Experience freedom and the vastness
of the sea, untouched nature, beautiful landscapes,
secluded coves and romantic ports.
Find peace and relaxation in our comfortable
sailing yacht Fair Lady,
a Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 54DS.
I promise a memorable holiday experience.

Dietmar (Didi) Kuhn,

German, English
From early on I was fascinated by sailing and soon I had the dream to be on my way under my own sails.
Today, 3 decades later, I look back on countless numbers of sea miles with different yachts
and the relevant sailing experience I gained.
Over many years I sailed the Baltic Sea, the Mediterranean Sea and the Canary Islands. I started with berth charters and different instruction and training trips.
The different approaches from instructors and other skippers were always very exciting, and I have taken away the best tips and tricks, adding to my treasure trove of experience. I like to share my expertise in seamanship and the handling / managing of a ship with my guests and sailors.
My desire to sail in first class ambiance, with plenty of comfort, steered me to the FAIR LADY after 3 years.
A Sun Odyssey 54 DS sailing yacht which I am happy to call my own.
Sailing, sharing the dream of a lifetime, enjoying life without stress, with nice and like-minded people this is what I invite you to.
