For travellers
Business PärnuSailing is a great way to spend some quality time with your friends, family or colleagues. And Pärnu provides just the perfect conditions for that – Pärnu Bay is one of the most beautiful places in Estonia, with its shimmering waters and beautiful sunsets creating truly unique moments. Pärnu is a city of the sea and the river, with lots of opportunities for both sailing and renting a cutter. If you haven’t tried sailing before, Pärnu is the perfect place to experience it for the first time – the sea is mostly calm, making it ideal for a yacht or sailboat trip.
Out to sea on a sailboat
Sailing in Pärnu is a truly enjoyable experience, and if you’re not a sailor yourself, you can rent a yacht with an experienced captain to enjoy the trip. Various sailing trips to Pärnu Bay are available for those looking to head out to sea by sailboat.
Relaxing sea trips are organised by Seikle Vabaks sailing around Pärnu Bay, which can provide several sailboats if the group is larger. In addition to trips taking a few hours, they also offer multi-day sailing trips to the islands of Kihnu and Ruhnu.
If you’re looking for a one-day sea trip, you can order a sailing trip to Manija Island. During the trip, the sailboat will stop at the island, giving you and your group a chance to explore its nature, lighthouse, and local life.
When sailing, you can visit places that can’t be reached by regular ship traffic.
For example, sailing to Sorgu Island located right near Manija, is definitely a great experience. A lighthouse keeper used to live there with his family, but today, however, Sorgu Island has no permanent residents and is home to colonies of cormorants.
Yacht rental in Pärnu also makes for a great gift. Snacks can also be ordered and surprise performers invited to the sea.
The sailing yacht Põhjatäht II offers exciting trips, taking groups on romantic sunset cruises and sea voyages.
The sailing yacht Take Off offers group sailing trips to Kihnu Island, where you can learn about age-old traditions passed down through generations. The yacht has eight berths, allowing you to anchor overnight in a romantic cove, then set sail again in the morning to continue your journey.
The catamaran La Boheme offers inspiring sea experiences, perfect for daytime meetings, team trainings, or relaxing moments with colleagues, family, and friends. La Boheme can also host bachelor and bachelorette parties, with the option to bring a DJ to the sea.
A sunset cruise on Pärnu Bay with La Boheme is a wonderful way to spend an evening with friends or celebrate a fun birthday, enjoying quality time together, receiving gifts, and making lasting memories. The catamaran can accommodate up to 20 guests. The outdoor deck features a seating and sunbathing area, which can be closed in case of bad weather.
A fun sailing trip with friends
You can also celebrate special events on the water, such as birthdays, bachelor and bachelorette parties, or work meetings. Sailing in Pärnu Bay is especially magical at sunset, when the sky above the sea fills with vibrant colours, offering a unique spectacle every evening.
Yacht rentals from Pärnu Marina are available by prior arrangement, and several local companies offer sailing experiences in the area.
Sailing for children – a truly fun experience
Pärnu Bay is relatively shallow and the cove is protected from offshore winds. So, sailing in Pärnu is something children can also enjoy.
If your child has never been on a sailboat before, Pärnu is the perfect place to try it for the first time, as sailing here is fun and enjoyable in good weather.
If you don’t want to take a long sea voyage, you can rent a boat in Pärnu to explore the coast or cruise along the Pärnu River.
Sailing is a great way to enjoy the sea and freedom
For many, after trying it for the first time, sailing becomes a way of life that they want to experience again and again. The inexplicable satisfaction of hoisting the sail, breathing the crisp sea air, and feeling the gentle rocking of the sailboat creates a sense that this is all you need for happiness.
If you want to go sailing, visit the marina on the banks of the Pärnu River or check out the visitparnu.com website, where you can find information about yacht and boat rentals in Pärnu Bay.
