Ambiance

Skipper and host Sven Timmann
Born in Hamburg along the Elbe, it was not long before Sven discovered his love of sailing as a teenager. First, he explored the lakes and rivers of northern Germany and even Denmark in small boats. Then he sailed on increasingly larger sailing yachts and traditional sailing ships, first as a sailor and later as a skipper.

This also got Sven interested in the extinct rigging craft and he worked all over Europe on various tall ships like the Gorch Fock, Sea Cloud I & Sea Cloud II and the Dagmar Aan. "By working with Dutch sailors on these tall ships, I also learned more about the Dutch charter fleet. After a period of sailing and attending the nautical college in Enkhuizen, I spent my first season as skipper on the three-masted Ambiance on the IJsselmeer. In the winter of 2007/2008, my dream came true and I became the owner of this sturdy ship!" 

Sven's motto is: Togetherness makes you strong - experience sailing!
"Just like before, when I travel aboard the Ambiance I focus on the experience and on being together. My experience as a youth leader and former student in education also helps me with this. The ship as a platform for an educational journey full of experiences - that is my goal when the Ambiance sails out."

If you are looking for a sustainable holiday with lots of variety, then you are in good hands with Sven on board the Ambiance!
