On Deck

Sleep below the stars

Florette offers a nice place on deck for every wish, whether to sun bathe, read a book, or sleep under the stars. Some surfaces are equipped with soft mattresses, and are therefore particularly popular. When we sail everyone must come together on deck to pull the ropes. Therefore the deck area is a feast for the eyes with countless ropes and old time ship features.

Life on deck

As we sail, feel the water glide by while enjoying the warm sun. Florette's sundeck invites you to unwind, whether chatting or admiring the sea. Take a siesta in a hammock or enjoy a swim. We offer kayaks, paddleboards, and snorkeling gear for exploration. At night, savor the starry sky from the deck. With a stable air mattress, thermal mat, and sleeping bag, you'll be comfortable. On hot days, there's a sunsail for shade. Life on deck blends relaxation and adventure in a stunning setting. By day, Florette's deck is lively, with sails set and ropes pulled under our crew's guidance, with a breeze that sweeps worries away. Whether reading or soaking up the sun, the water's gentle sway relaxes. Dive into clear waters or join sailing tasks to connect with the sea. As the sun sets, the deck becomes a magical retreat under the stars. Guests gather for meals, laughter, and storytelling, fostering camaraderie. With the sea as your backdrop, life on deck is more than a getaway—it's a journey into a captivating maritime world where every moment is cherished

The sun deck

The large (140 sqm) main and sun deck, is a place to get together to eat in a dreamlike maritime environment. While the wind blows with a gentle breeze, you can relax on the reclining area and enjoy the view. Enjoy a conversations with pleasant company, a delicious drink in the atmospheric evening hours, or see one of the incredibly beautiful sunsets in quiet and romantic solitude. The main deck is the hub for life on board.

An old wooden lady – some people say that they can feel her heartbeat. A wooden ship has the most charming acoustics.

We have charm

Our cozy saloon is a great place to browse through the small library which includes good old fashioned guide books and maps. There is also much memorabilia and old photos for you to look through to learn more about Florette's incredible history. Countless guests have spent hours together here, sharing their own stories and experiencing ship life. The sanitary facilities can take some getting used to...on a ship they are called "heads" not bathrooms, and we pump not flush!!

Dont forget its a ship

The total space is very generous in comparison to a modern charter sailing yacht, nevertheless, the cabins and the sanitary facilities are very small compared to the ones on land. We have eleven double cabins, five of which have an extra bunk for a child. They are equipped with a sink, small table and cupboard. Movement onboard can be assumed, due to the motion of the sea. Sometimes, especially older people, experience problems with this. If you have health impairments or disabilities, please consult with the Captain before you book.

Cabins

There are eleven double cabins on board. All cabins are equipped with running water, a 220V connection, a small table, a cabinet and a big deck hatch for fresh air and natural daylight. The cabins are equipped traditionally with bunk beds (without a ladder) or a double bed. The beds have foam mattresses, pillows, sheet and blankets. The ship has heating and air conditioning.

Cabin space

The total space is very generous for a maximum number of 27 guests. Nevertheless, the cabins and the sanitary facilities are very small compared to the ones on land. However, once you get used to the very compact design of the bathroom and toilet, you will wonder how such small a space can be used so well. Please note that there is minimal space in the cabin so avoid bringing bulky luggage like large suitcases. A soft duffel bag is ideal.
