Our little "Beetle"
We are sailing on our private boat called “Beetle”. The name comes from the Polish word play “Żuczek Podróżniczek”, which translates to “Travelling Beetle”.
The Beetle is Jeanneau Sun Rise 35 Kevlar from 1988, maintained in excellent condition. This boat sails magnificently with subtle vibrations from speed. The old design provides maxim strength and seaworthiness. What we love in older boats is the perfect balance between a leisure yacht and an exploration boat. We can sail fast and pretty dry, even in bad conditions, but still have the luxury of cabins, stairs to the water, and enough deck to chill while staying on anchorage.
The Beetle has 3 double-bank cabins, a stove with oven, a two-compartment sink, a fridge, and a saloon that can fit comfortably up to 8 people. The kitchen, bathroom, and saloon are shared spaces. One of the double-bank cabins is our living space.
We equipped our Beetle with 220W solar panels, which provide us with clean energy to support our necessary equipment and charge our phones and other electronic devices. There are safety precautions such as the Garmin inReach system, liferaft, AIS system, and 6 sets of very professional Spinlock inflatable life jackets with Spinlock safety lines. All of this is to provide maximum safety for our crew and guests!
Despite its size, the Beetle is a very fast sailboat, and its classic silhouette provides comfort during sailing upwind. Likewise, sailing downwind gives us a lot of fun due to extra sails, such as spinnaker.
For us, the Beetle is our home, and we want you to feel at home as well.
