Why charter this First 40
3 cabins for 6 berths means about 2 guests per cabin, so bag storage and sleeping turns are clear before departure. 6 guests per head matters on early marina mornings, when showers, breakfast and casting off compete for time. At 12,6 m, this sailing yacht works best when swim stops still leave time for the evening berth.
Best charter fit
First 40 suits crews comparing cabin separation, luggage storage and bathroom timing across 3 cabins. Sailing crews should keep one fallback leg for wind shifts, late sea state and the final marina return.
Fehmarn and the Bay of Lübeck from Heiligenhafen
Heiligenhafen is the gateway to Fehmarn, a flat, breezy Baltic island of long beaches and reed-fringed bays, its harbour a busy sailing base. After handover, Burgtiefe or Großenbrode is a short hop away, an unhurried first afternoon with the base close at hand. Lübeck Airport (LBC) is the closer gateway, with Hamburg (HAM) the longer drive. The Fehmarn towns and the Bay of Lübeck lie within easy day passages of each other. The one open stretch is the crossing of the bay mouth, an hour or two to time for a calm window, so keep the turnaround inside the bay. The Danish islands of Lolland and Langeland, across the Fehmarn Belt, are a stretch of genuinely open water, better left to a longer stay.
