Barefoot in the Caribbean. We are on vacation with the children again. Well, „children“ does not exactly meet the point. Leon is already 22 and Henry 19 years old. At that age, holidays with parents are usually not popular anymore, unless maybe, you offer the right destination. Of course, sailing in the Caribbean to the offshore islands is tempting – even if with your parents. One word was enough and both were immediately enthusiastic about joining the MARLIN. And we didn’t regret the decision. Sailing with skipper can be critical and sharing a boat with others does not...Read more

The Swiss crew David and his girlfriend Stefanie inspired us to go sailing. The two built a REINKE sailing yacht planning to live aboard later on and to offer charter trips. www.arohahorizonte.ch In beautiful weather we arrived on May 26th in the evening in Copenhagen at the . Majestically she lies in the harbor between the modern opera house and the royal castle. From the experienced ship owner and skipper Michael we were welcomed friendly and directly got a small sailing training with the emphasis on safety on the sailing yacht the next morning. We were very impressed by the...Read more

The “Marlin” is a rock-solid and at the same time very sportive sailing vessel, which also gives a feeling of great safety to inland yachtsmen. The deckhouse construction, which provides all-round visibility in a sheltered setting, is pleasant, as is the large living room below deck with the well-equipped galley. It is a paradise for passionate cooks. The independence of the ship with its own water treatment plant, heating and generator is a nice luxury, which one enjoys even if the trip is a short one. The ship is owner-managed in excellent condition, everything works and...Read more

I found Micha and his MARLIN by chance. Fortunately such is life, as sometimes you just get exactly what you were looking for without even knowing, in this case getting to know the beautiful red boat and her skipper. After many years, I was finally having the experience to be on anchor again, see the wide sea and enjoy the incomparable atmosphere of being together on a boat. Micha makes it easy for you. As a relaxed host and great chef, he has welcomed us from the first moment in his home. Travelling with this ship is a dream: no matter if sailing close-hauled...Read more

Dear MARLIN, dear Michael, Thank you for the unforgettable days on the MARLIN in the safe care of the skipper. Micha asked me if I’ve ever written in the guestbook. So far, I couldn’t have, because I was never a guest on the MARLIN. That has changed. I was sailing for the first time and on top of that with a lot of wind.The MARLIN was a safe home, I felt comfortable and am hoping for a soon reunion. Micha translated the unknown sailing terms for me, so I felt like part of the crew. My co-sailors have also taken me under their wing, thanks for that. The efforts...Read more

A reunion in quiet waters I already knew the marlin. And also the Iron Lady. By chance even the skipper, who sometimes shows the same stubbornness as his big sister. Right, I’m the sister. My last memory of the MARLIN was anything, but beautiful. Sea sick from the first moment untill the last due to the swell in the Caribbean and to a trip on open seas for several days. That was the end of my sailing career. I thought. But sometimes things change. 5 years later I received a call: Are you flexible? We are taking going to do a tranfer trip with MARLIN and we have a free berth!...Read more
