The Islandhopping Fleet

The Islandhopping Fleet

Our ships have been chosen carefully for you. For our destinations we have restricted ourselves to only  the very best ships. We have perennial contracts with our captains in order to provide maximum quality. Each of our ships has its own charm.

It is not only the accoutrement and quality of the ship that appeals to one but also the harmony and cooperation between captain, crew and tour guides that will help to achieve a delightful atmosphere on board. We attach great importance to the friendliness of the crew and especially to a really good kitchen on board since we will always return hungry from a day full of cycling.

Generally there are defined routes for our ships – to be found in the headings. However, sometimes we will make an exception in case of a full charter.

Ship Categories

Standard Ships **

Our standard ships are mostly converted schooners or other types of ships with a long history. Already when boarding, you feel that this ship has a soul. These ships are, of course, refurbished according to the latest safety standards and their cabins equipped to meet the requirements of Islandhopping. Each cabin offers sufficient space for sleeping (usually bunk beds) and for storing luggage as well as a private bathroom with an all-in-one shower/WC. The cabins measure 5-7 m². On the sundeck, you will find comfortable lounging mats. Tasty dishes from the ship’s kitchen and a closely atuned crew guarantee the well-being of our guests.

Comfort Ships***

These ships, too, have been converted for Islandhopping and offer more comfort in regard to cabins and furnishings. For example, the cabins, measuring 7-8 m², are equipped with beds rather than berths, either as single or double beds; frequently they contain a cupboard or extra space for luggage as well as a bathroom with an all-in-one shower/WC. Some of these ships have an additional bunk for a third person. On the large sundeck, comfortable lounging mats are available for relaxation or sunbathing. The usually long-standing crew will do their best to make their guests feel warmly welcomed on their lovely ships.

Premium Ships ****

As the name implies, these ships offer a higher standard of comfort.  Since all these yachts have been converted for cruising after 2000-2009, the cabins offer a modern spaciousness
(9-12m²) as well as a shower cabin/WC. All cabins are furnished with beds, often with additional berths for a third or even fourth person. Two sundecks are equipped with comfortable lounging mats and lounge chairs for relaxation. The dining lounges are generously proportioned for enjoying an excellent cuisine. The crews of these proud ships look after their Islandhopping guests with warmth and heartfelt hospitality.

Deluxe Ships*****

The newest category among the Islandhopping ships is the deluxe class. The name says it all, because the guests are offered a generously designed saloon, where a refined cuisine is served and where even a piano may be part of the set-up. Two huge sundecks, a bathing platform at the stern, a whirlpool or even fitness equipment may be part of this category. The guest cabins are elegant and spacious (10-15m²) and, of course, equipped with a roomy bath containing a shower cabin/WC. Some ships even have an enclosed storage space for the bikes, where a great number of e-bikes (pedelecs) can be transported. But despite or perhaps just because of these high-grade furnishings: the whole crew is imbued with the spirit of Islandhopping, distinguished yet full of warm hospitality.

The price differences of the various tours are not solely based on their categories but also on the economic and nautical price levels of the specific country, such as, for example; harbour fees, taxes, ship construction regulations, wages for the crew and the cost of food supplies.
