Eric is an most enthusiastic sailor and he loves to take you to adventurous areas not often visited by many other ships where unspoiled nature still exist. Through 30 years of experience and knowledge of the sea and the hinterland the sailing can easily combined with activities such as deep-sea fishing, walking and biking , nature reserve excursions, expeditions and scuba diving. In the Summertime of 2018 we make cruises with the "Pride of mother Sea" in Scotland. A Paradise with breathtaking, picturesque islands, nice harbor towns and of course beautiful nature.
