Why Saudade

More than a boat trip

The boat

Saudade is about slowing down — leaving the city behind and seeing Copenhagen the way I like it best: from the water.

Whether you're after adventure, a quiet afternoon, something romantic, or simply time on the water, I shape the day around the people on board — most sails are private, and even the shared ones stay small.

Small boat, real people

No fifty-person harbour cruise, no loudspeaker commentary. Private sails are the norm — book one and the boat is yours for the day. Shared day sails and courses stay small too, so there's still room to take the helm.

Real sailing

A proper sailing boat, under real sails — not a motor cruiser pretending to be one. I've loved sailing since I was a boy racing an Optimist, and I'm happy to talk you through what's happening on deck, or just let you sit back and enjoy the ride.

Copenhagen from the water

Leave the streets and bridges behind. From the Øresund, the skyline, the old sea forts, and the quiet coastline look completely different — plus a few hidden corners most people never get to see.
