Welcome to Sailing Nomads

We’re Alex and Benno, and we’re on a mission to sail around the world. There’s just one problem: we don’t know how to sail yet! Follow along as we learn the ropes, charter boats across the Mediterranean, and prepare for the adventure of a lifetime.

Two minutes to drop, it's all right to be scared. Remember, there is no courage without fear.

Greece ❤️

After almost a month, it’s time to say goodbye to Greece. We’re in love and we’ll be back.

Athens

From Lefkada, we drive straight across Greece—which, by the way, is way bigger than I ever imagined.

Lefkada

We spent the last 10 days on the Greek island of Lefkada where the sea shines in the most beautiful turquoise.

Charly Superstar

Like most dog owners, we also believe: our dog is the most beautiful and lovable in the world.

Croatia

After almost exactly two months in Croatia, today we say goodbye to continue our journey towards Greece.

Catamaran Test

We tested a total of 3 catamarans: Lagoon 40, Lagoon 380, and Nautitech 40 Open.

Cruise

Imagine your first driving lesson, but your car is 12 meters long, weighs 10 tons, and you’re on worn summer tires on black ice. That’s somewhat what sailing a catamaran feels like.
