Day 1940 (Friday) 30th September 2022
Nicole rang me again this morning to say that I’m not starting in the Maybourne until the 18th October.
This beautiful yacht was in the bay this morning and it is called the Sir Robert Baden Powell
The Sir Robert
At your command for over 20 years
Holiday in paradise under the clear blue sky. Whether you want to relax, chat, meditate or dine: on board Sir Robert everyone will find their favourite place to be. A spacious sun deck on the deckhouse or the jib net invites you to relax and sunbathe. Popular meeting place for cocktail, lunch and chat sessions are the pretty aft deck under shady sun sails and the middle deck. The Sir Robert rooms below deck are also spacious and comfortable. The salon is the hub of social gatherings and the dining room where our chefs serve an international breakfast and delicious lunch every day.

The salon is the ship’s spacious lounge with three tables, upholstered benches, chairs and also serves as a dining room for breakfast and lunch. In front of the room there are three A-cabins (Constellation, Mystic, Columbia) and a B-cabin (Argus) and behind the saloon a A-cabin (Pride of Baltimore) and a B-cabin (Blue Nose). In the salon there is a refrigerator, always filled with cool drinks, from which the guests can help themselves – using a tally. The kitchen, which is open to the salon, invites to a gourmet chat with the chef and also serves for show cooking. All rooms are cooled, shady and offer plenty of space for our guests. If you like, you can also get into the navigation with the captain and admire the cutting-edge chart radar.
The cabins
Ship plan
The Sir Robert is an exclusive sailing ship with six passenger cabins. That means, lots of space for a small number of guests. If you will: The absolute opposite of mass tourism. We are therefore delighted to offer you six spacious cabins. All cabins have their own WC and shower. In addition to a double bed, five out of six cabins are equipped with an additional single bed. All cabins are equipped with portholes or hatches which can be opened at will from the inside and also ensure fresh air supply. During midsummer cruises we switch on the air conditioning and there is also the possibility to spend the night on deck. The sockets are European standard. That means, hairdryer, razor or charging cable for mobile devices can be used without restrictions. The cabins are all checked daily by our service staff, the towels are changed once per trip, if necessary, more often. On request, we can also offer you large bathing and beach sheets – for a small fee. Just ask us, we will be happy to help. Because we have been sailing with passion for over thirty years, we have taken the liberty of naming our six cabins after important ships from the great era of the Baltimore Clipper in the 18th/19th century of maritime history.
The Constellation is located portside in the forecastle of Sir Robert and has a double and a larger single bed, as well as its own shower / WC.
The salon
The Sir Robert’s salon is located directly midships and resembles a large lounge. Here all guests find a comfortable place for breakfast and lunch. Here you can also find our onboard library, which is very old-fashioned in accepting book donations from and for guests – even in times of e-books.
We also pamper our guests with culinary delights. Fresh ingredients, seasonal pleasures, varied culinary delights at a high level are an absolute must for us.
From the coffee in the morning to the cocktail in the early evening: we adapt the culinary delights to the weather, the region and your desires. What is so special about our on-board restaurant? Tastefully coordinated culinary delicacies are lovingly arranged and served in the open air. Every meal has a story and a special flavor. The morning starts hearty and strong with fresh, tasty organic bread and international treats. The 3-course meal in the evening rounds off the culinary day experiences in a tasteful manner. Sometimes sumptuous, sometimes light, sometimes hearty and often adapted to the respective region: always delicious in any case.
In the afternoon we serve delicious coffee and cake. Later we offer colourful, fresh long drinks and cocktails, explosive in taste.
As free drinks we offer table wines and water.
