The Dutchess

"Sailing is not just a passion, it's a way of life"

Welcome to our world! We want to inspire and excite you about the amazing life of sailing through all that we do. Join us for adventure trips, training weeks or plain old fun on the water. Follow our progress in various sailing projects and have a peek into our everyday boating life. There's no limit to the passion we have for sailing - This is our way of life!

Welcome to The Dutchess!

We started the Dutchess because we love everything that has to do with the ocean and boats and we want to share this passion with you, through what we do and our way of life. The Dutchess is a vision, founded on this passion. Read more about the Dutchess here.
