The first two tours in the Bay of Kvarn in 1998 are completely booked out after a few weeks.In 1999 we therefore expand our programme as far as southern Dalmatia.From now on we function as a limited liabilty company,managing directors and sole associates are the founders of the firm, Klaus Schenk and Peter Eich.

We expand the distribution of Island Hopping tours to travel agencies such as Wikinger, Pedalo, Eurobike, Velotours and others.

For the first time we also offer the Bay of Kvarn as a mountain bike tour and as a combined hiking and cruising trip, and a number of new agencies are added to our circle of distributors.

A great year for us because we make several important steps forward.For the first time our tours can be booked directly with us and our first catalogue is published. We close the "gap" between the Bay of Kvarn and southern Dalmatia - island hopping in central Dalmatia is born (and is called today "National Parks of Dalmatia").We also undertake our first tours in the Aegean.

Several new agencies join the circle of our successful partners. Island Hopping becomes bi-lingual because our tours are now also available on the Italian, Dutch and American market.  We cancel our projected tour on the Cape Verde islands because the Dutch skippers have to sell their boat.

Our first "proper" catalogue comes out and is 52 pages thick.We extend our programme to Montenegro and Turkey. The first genuine three-master is offered to us and our programme now includes new tours in Istria, in the Turkish Aegean and the Dodecanese.

Island Hopping expands even further. We now have partner agencies in almost all German and English speaking countries.Our 68 page-long catalogue now lists, aside from the already mentioned tours,a trip along the Turkish south coast, and with the Greek southern Aegean we reach as far as Rhodes.More satisfied guests than ever travel with us.

Our new catalogue is published in 2005. With 113 pages it is not only our largest but also our most beautiful catalogue we have produced so far.With 6 pages of pictures for each tour we have tried to make the tour offers into a kind of photo album.We receive,after all,almost daily a photo CD from our guests and have thus thousands of pictures - one prettier than the next - taken on our tours.

Our tour guides Tobi and Jennie had in previous years made a film about Island Hopping.At the Island Hopping party in 2004 it was so enthusiastically received that we decided to include it as a CD with the catalogue.

With the Cycladic Islands we are opening up a totally new island region in Greece.The ANDREAS is our boat in this group of islands where Greece is as Greek as can be.
For the first time we also offer mountain bike tours in southern Dalmatia.

With out two bike and boat tours in Holland we venture for the first time into northern realms.

At the end of 2006 we move within Constance into a new office because we have outgrown the old one.

The past season was the most successful since the founding of the firm.
Approximately 2400 guests travelled with us,and the recorded satisfaction of our guests was also better than ever.

In the 2007 season we venture in February for the first time as far as New Zealand.The tour is being organized by a partner on location and the tour's character could be describes as "we are going there ourselves,so who wants to join us?".

The canal cruises in Holland on offer last year turned out to be adventurous enough, but the boats had nothing in common with our charming Mediterranean motor sailers.We will therefore no longer persue our goals in this region and instead expand our offers in the Greek Mediterranean.

Completely new are our tours on the PANAGIOTA to the Ionian Islands and the historically rich Peloponnese and its islands.

We deceide to offer more two-week tours.This will allow more extensive tours in the Greek and Turkish Aegean as well as in the Croatian Adria as far as Dubrovnic and some more distant Croatian islands, which for time reasons would otherwise be inaccessible.
