As I need a break and some land life and will only be on Free Spirit for boatwork-weeks, 3 different skippers will sail Free Spirit this summer: Sophia, Adriano and one or two new skippers – all experienced sailors and skippers who strive to make your trip the best trip possible
The founder, organizer and chief skipper

Hello! Its Moritz! Before founding Magical Ocean Sailing, I have worked for more than 10 years as a skipper on charter yachts, mostly for http://www.join-the-crew.com on 100+ trips and I love organizing trips. I have always been an adventure-seeker. The last two years I have sailed around the world with more than 200 crew-members joining for 2 weeks or longer.
I have also worked six years full-time as a journalist. Before, have studied Sociology and Politics. I have some DIY experience both from sailing on a tall ship and home renovation. My research skills, knowledge about how societies work and practical experience came in useful when sailing around the world and manageing Free Spirit.


50.000 nautical miles in, I can say that my sailing style is definitely rather chillaxing than regatta. I always hunt for the off-the-beaten-track experience and the coolest anchorage. After the sail around the world I am now doing more administrative and background work.
On my trips, I always try to organize a good mix of sailing, swimming and sun-tanning, cooking and drinking together, exploring ashore in an anchorage and islands – and doing silly things and having fun doing that is also part of it 😉
