Eye of the Wind

Experience the legendary Eye of the Wind, a magnificent 1911 brig that has captured the imagination of sailors and moviegoers for over a century. Known for her starring roles in Hollywood classics, this 40-meter Class A tall ship is a masterpiece of maritime preservation, featuring 750 square meters of iconic red canvas sails that are still operated entirely by hand. Whether you are navigating the high seas of the North Atlantic or exploring the hidden bays of the Caribbean, the Eye of the Wind offers a unique blend of authentic "tall ship" grit and boutique comfort. With a maximum of only 12 guests on board, you are invited to join the professional crew in traditional sail maneuvers, from climbing the rigging to taking the helm of this historic vessel. Below deck, the Eye of the Wind exudes timeless elegance with its teak-finished salon, library, and six comfortable en-suite cabins. Each cabin is a private sanctuary equipped with air conditioning and modern bathrooms, providing a luxurious retreat after a day of salt spray and adventure. For the 2026 season, the ship is embarking on an epic schedule, including transatlantic crossings and summer tours of the Baltic Sea and the Swedish Archipelago. Perfect for individual travelers and private charters alike, the Eye of the Wind provides an unparalleled opportunity to disconnect from the modern world and reconnect with the soul of the ocean.
