Sir Robert Baden Powell

the Cabin

The Sir Robert is an easy sailing ship with only six passenger cabins. That means a lot of space for the guests. That is why we are pleased that we can offer you six spacious cabins. All cabins have their own toilet and shower. In addition to a double bed, five of the six cabins have an extra single bed. All cabins are equipped with portholes or shutters. During our midsummer cruises we switch on the air conditioning. You can spend the night on deck underneath the stars.

The lounge

Sir Robert's Salon is midships and looks like a large lounge. Here all guests can comfortably enjoy breakfast and lunch. In addition, there is also our cozy on board library.

kitchen

We spoil our guests Fresh ingredients, seasonal delicacies, varied culinary delights at a high level are an absolute must for us. From coffee in the morning till the cocktail in the early evening: we travel on the rhythm of nature, the region and your wishes. Tastefully coordinated culinary delicacies are arranged and served in the open air. Every meal has a message and a special taste. The morning starts with fresh, tasty organic bread and international delicacies. In the afternoon we serve coffee and cake. The 3-course dinner in the evening ends the tasteful day. 

On deck

A gentle summer breeze, enjoying the view with breathtaking bays or getting lost in a book. On deck there are both sunny and shady spots. Who wants to take over the helm? The more questions you have, the more answers you will receive. The back deck is a festive table and the chef invites you to a multi-course gourmet dinner under the Mediterranean stars.

Lunch in country style in Sartène is one of them.

Ashore, be it at the beach bar or a visit to the small villages, walk to the Genovian tower in Corsica, kayak paddling in the river delta or a tour of the citadel, all of which we can organize upon request. With the small group of guests it is almost always possible to arrange excursions on te spot. Every island and region we visit has its own charm and we like to show you the most beautiful places. There are very nice walks that start from the beach. If you are interested, bring suitable footwear. The north of Ibiza and the south of Formentera are ideal for hiking. A last drink in the Pirata Bar guarantees good times.

CO2-neutral power supply

Since 2014 Sir Robert Baden Powell is the first ship in its class with lithium-iron phosphate batteries for general power supply. It is now possible to store the power for a long time without running a generator. This means: quiet nights. The generator can also be switched off during the day between meals. This means Silent Sailing!
