Discovering the High Coast by sea: a local sailor’s perspective
Let me share with you one of the Baltic's best-kept secrets - sailing the High Coast. As someone who lives and works by these waters, I've seen countless sailors fall in love with our unique maritime landscape. Here, where UNESCO-protected cliffs meet crystal-clear waters, you'll discover a sailing experience unlike any other.
Why Sailing Here is Special
Every time I look out from the piers at our marina, I'm reminded of what makes this place extraordinary. Imagine navigating waters where ancient granite cliffs rise straight from the sea, shaped by the world's highest land uplift. Yes, our coastline is still rising - 8mm each year! This creates a fascinating environment for sailors, with deep, clear waters and natural harbors carved by millennia of geological forces.
The Perfect Baltic Sailing Destination
As someone who welcomes sailors daily at our marina, I can tell you that the High Coast's protected waters offer some of the Baltic's most remarkable sailing experiences. From mid-May to mid-September, you'll enjoy:
✓ Long, light-filled summer days
✓ Perfect conditions to mix sailing and hiking/exploring
✓ Deep, clear waters with excellent navigation
✓ Protected natural harbors and secluded anchorages
