and
Sea Cloud
ii: two
elegant, exclusive yachts that seamlessly combine an exciting sailing adventure with a relaxing cruise and the atmosphere of a private yacht. Whilst our crew climb high up the masts to set the sails by hand, down below on deck guests are treated to pure indulgence by our service team.
True to tradition Our history has always been defined by a love for both elegant tall ships and sophisticated indulgence. The legendary Sea Cloud ignited our passion for extraordinary quality, and this sentiment can also be felt on board its younger sister, the Sea Cloud ii.
The art of sailing On board our majestic windjammers, setting the sails is not just for show: It is an exhibition of true sailing craft. When the orders ring out over the deck and the crew climb the masts, every single manoeuvre marks a centuries-old ritual being brought to life.

A relaxed dining experience On board everyone sits down to enjoy their meals together, but there is no fixed seating plan: Guests simply sit wherever and with whomever they choose – whether indulging in a formal dinner in the restaurant or a lunchtime buffet or evening barbecue on deck.
Sea Cloud The “lady“ of all windjammers A self-assured grande dame, a stylish yet informal sailing icon and a generous host – the
Sea Cloud
is a living legend. In
1931 the American millionaire couple Marjorie Merriweather Post and Edward Hutton commissioned the four-masted barque and set about transforming the luxury private yacht into a stage for their eccentric lifestyle. With carefully restored original cabins, golden taps and magnificent marble fireplaces, the

exudes a timeless elegance, combining extravagance with a friendly charm and the thrill of an authentic windjammer experience.
