This was one of the best experiences we had in Helsinki.
Petri is a great skipper, very professional with a lot of experience when it comes to sailing. You can immediately see his passion for Hai boats.
We were very lucky with the weather and we had a great sailing experience and awesome dinner at a very remote yacht club.
If you want to experience Helsinki and its archipelago in a original and cool way, this is what you are looking for.
Highly recommended.

Petri is both a devoted fan of sailing and a true professional (able to catch the wind even during a flat calm) as well as a good storyteller.
The yacht itself is unique with amazing wooden details.
Great way to learn more about the sailing culture and traditions and also enjoy relaxing atmosphere of the sea.

Sailing on board such a beautiful boat around Helsinki was just wonderful. I’d like to thank Petri for sharing his kindness, experience and enthusiasm with me and my fiancée. This trip was a great experience for us and also a pleasant way to learn more about sailing, Helsinki and local sailing community. Sailing wasn’t physically tough and was a fun activity.
After the trip we enjoyed the restaurant, which had a special atmosphere and great local food.
I recommend this trip for anyone who likes boats and outdoor activities, whether you come alone or with friends or family – this is a special trip that you won’t find on standard tourist guides, and you will have warm memories of afterwards.
