Can I Actively Participate in Sailing Aboard the Yacht Orianda?
Yes, you can actively participate in sailing aboard our classic yachts! On the first day, our experienced crew will introduce you to all safety measures and procedures, guiding you throughout the entire regatta event. Take the opportunity to be part of the winning team and showcase your skills! However, participation is entirely optional; you may choose to relax and enjoy the experience without assisting in the yacht’s handling.
How Many Days of Sailing Take Place During the Regattas?
This depends on the event. Most events offer between 3 to 6 days of sailing action, while certain regattas, like the Bailli de Suffren, span a considerably longer duration.
With one day of sailing training before the start of the regatta, you can call yourself a true sailor after crossing the finishing line on the final day. Please note that attending the regatta races is never obligatory. If you ever feel like skipping a day of sailing, the choice is entirely yours at any time. We have plenty of activities for you to choose from to ensure your stay is as perfect as possible.
Is It Possible to Attend Single Days of the Regatta?
Certainly! If, for any reason, you are unable to attend the entire regatta, you can always choose to attend one or several days of your preference. Please note that availability for single-day participants is limited, so we encourage you to secure your spot as soon as possible.

What Is the History of the Classic Yacht Orianda?
The magnificent Orianda, crafted in 1937 by the prestigious Danish designer Oscar W. Dahlstrom, stands as a testament to the golden age of yacht building. As a staysail schooner, she exemplifies the perfect balance of performance and luxury that defined early 20th-century yacht design, with every detail reflecting master craftsmanship and innovative engineering.
Orianda’s story is one of remarkable survival. Though she began life as a luxurious private yacht, she weathered the storms of World War II – a time when many of her sister ships were lost forever. Her exceptional build quality and classic design proved to be her salvation, and after careful restoration, she now stands once again among the world’s finest classic yachts.
Step aboard Orianda today and you’ll be transported to an age of true maritime elegance. Every curve and fitting tells the story of classic yacht-building at its finest. She sails the waters as a gleaming tribute to traditional craftsmanship, showing us how true beauty and quality can endure through even the darkest of times.
