HISTORY:
The only still seagoing Estonian pre-war historical ship built in Estonia ~ The Most Beautiful Ship of the Republic ~ The 98-year-old schooner Hoppet invites you on board in Baltic Sea, island of Saaremaa and Pärnu capital of summer, for cultural and awarded taste journeys. The magnificent schooner was originally built as a cargo ship in the village of Spitham in Estonia coast line in 1925-1926, shipbuilders from coastal named it Hoppet, which means “Hope” in Swedish.
The ship’s renovation and international cultural projects got sidetracked, and the ship is back in Estonian waters and new winds are blowing to offer the desired service, experience cruises and the opportunity to go on board and smell the salty sea air together and feel Estonian coastal life and maritime history, when ships were made of wood and men were made of iron.

The Republic Sailing Association and the ship’s crew thank everyone who visits us – this is how you support us
keeping up Estonia’s only pre-war historic ship still sailing today, through which you help preserve the country’s maritime culture and traditions.

PROVISIONS / OUR LOCAL GOURMET KITCHEN:
The 2-masted schooner can take onboard up to 50 passengers for day cruises, oboard a resto-saloon called KuldAnkur (GoldenAnchor) (which is also open by prebooking in winter for gatherings and receptions for about 20 persons). Organic and wild forest and seafood menu, as well as Scandinavian coastal food – all authentic ingredients that we cook on board an historic ship. There is also a nice bar area open on board, with only cool stuff and award-winning schnapps from both land and sea, where we offer the island’s craft gins, our own artisan ciders, local craft bear as well as good drinks that have won awards all over the world. The ship has its own Officers Gin, Schooners Kvass, Boatswain Homebeer and Mermaid Cider and Viking Rhubarb scnapps as a local Saaremaa craft product. The captain of the ship himself is responsible for the kitchen and menu of provisions, or the ship’s language the galley, who has delivered in this area all over the world from Hawaii to Vietnam and from Cuba to Sicily and from Colombia to Scandinavia, but at the moment the main focus is on the activities of the coastal people and the use of genuine local raw materials. In addition, we can also offer top-level experience catering, even in the countryside, in the forest or in nature. The provisions we offer are not prepared from semi-finished products or prepared in the freezer. The entire menu is personally prepared for each customer group on the same day directly and from freshly and authentically prepared raw materials from local small businesses and farms on the islands, as well as the wildly delicious produce provided by the local forest and sea. We try to ensure that fresh fish arrives only a few hours before the customer’s arrival. You can’t find such a fresh and personal approach anywhere else.
