Come sailing with us
Join Aron on an open multi-day voyage, or plan a shorter trip for your own group. You do not need sailing experience. With no more than twelve guests under sail, there is room to take part, learn something new and find a quiet place on deck.
In short
A ship you become part of
The wind and weather set the rhythm on Aron. You can help haul the lines, stand at the helm, take a swim from the ship or have coffee on deck while the islands pass by. Gorm and Helene show you what to do and adapt each task to the people on board.

Life aboard
Cabins, shared meals and room on deck
Below deck are six simple, heated two-person cabins with washbasins, USB charging, daylight and ventilation, together with a shared shower and toilet.
Meals are made on board and eaten together around the long table or up on deck. There is a rowing dinghy for going ashore, a bathing ladder for a swim and enough deck space to find both company and a quiet corner.
From the guestbook
What guests remember
Short excerpts from Aron's published guestbook, written after days and weekends on board.
“Unconditionally the best holiday I’ve been on with my child.”
“We won’t soon forget that, and especially me (Jørgen) as an old ‘wooden ship sailor’.”
“We had some fantastic days together both on the water and on land.”
Questions
Before you book
- Do I need sailing experience to join?
- No. Two professional crew sail the ship and explain every task. You are invited to help with lines and take the helm, but the work is adapted to the people on board and guests are never responsible for the ship.
- How many guests can Aron take?
- Aron is approved for up to twelve guests under sail. The number of available places is shown on each SejlPlan departure. For private day trips and events alongside the quay, we confirm the safe capacity in the written proposal for your arrangement.
- How long is a voyage?
- Open sailing holidays last several days; the exact duration is stated with each departure in SejlPlan. Team building, day trips and events alongside the quay are planned directly with you.
- Where do voyages start and end?
- Aron is homeported in Svendborg on South Funen, and most voyages begin and end there. Individual departures can start from another harbour in the South Funen Archipelago or the Baltic; the departure harbour is always stated with the departure itself.
