The very beginning
What would we be without our stories behind?
Ist ja schön, dass ihr alle das so witzig findet
Wir fahren im rechten Winkel auf den Strand auf, sagt der Mann am Motor. Der zuvorderst sitzt springt dann samt Bootsleine an Land und hält das Dinghi gerade, damit alle anderen...
Träume
Viele Grüße von der Dream Chaser sende ich per Mail nach Hause und hänge ‚Auf der die Träume wie von selbst immer größer werden‘ dran. Zuletzt durch einen Abend an Bord unserer...
Ohne Musik wäre das Leben ein Irrtum
Zurück auf dem Schiff. Ich freue mich, wieder hier zu sein, wuchte mein Gepäck schwungvoll an Deck und schiebe die Tür zum Salon beiseite, damit der Muff der letzten vier Wochen...
About us
It's me, Carola
I am a child of the sun. I need the warmth and the appeal of the new, the unknown. Fifteen years ago, Klaus and I got married. Together we created subTilia, our home. We don't want to give that up. But now we dare again. On a path without a destination, on a journey without a planned end. Maybe it's called life. And when Klaus says the sea is calling, it might have been me who whispered it to him. ;-)
It's me, Klaus
I used to fly airplanes. Most of the time I felt above the clouds, but sometimes also below. The long haul was my territory. But now I've had enough of heaven. The sea is calling. Carola and I learned sailing together. Over 4000 nautical miles have now come together, sometimes as a couple, sometimes with the children, sometimes with friends. And now we're going on a 'Big Ride'.
Life exists through its stories. I write them down for some years now. And sometimes I tell them, too. This part of me you will find on
What this is all about
We want to get out, want to trade the solid ground under our feet for the vastness of the sea. Wanting to lose ourselves in the unknown and find ourselves again. The spirit of the world, it should lift and widen - ok, that sounds dusty like Hermann Hesse. But - isn't he right?
And we don't want to do this alone. We want to tell you, want to report, maybe even want to get you excited about it, so that you think: I want to be there, want to take part!
Because in each of us there is a little adventure, a bit of Odysseus, a little Penelope.
We'll take you with us!
The DREAM CHASER
1. A FP Lucia 40
Our catamaran was launched in 2017. She is 12m of length and measures a beam of 6,6m, which exceeds a monohull of that size by fifty percent. A massive gain of living comfort.
2. Sailing
Other than monohulls, catamarans don't heel. Nevertheless they glide as smoothly through the water as their single hulled sisters, and sailing is pretty much the same as on them.
3. Safety
Catamarans operate with two engines. A massive advantage in terms of safety as well as in terms of maneuverability. For landing on a sandy beach we use our dinghy.
4. Guests on board
On the port side, the DREAM CHASER has two cabins, a toilet and a separate shower compartment. Each cabin offers a spacious double bed and a closet. The starboard hull remaines reserved for the owners. DREAM CHASER On the port side, the DREAM CHASER has two cabins, a toilet and a separate shower compartment.

Lagos, PT
We came to this nice little town by accident. But the Algarve is worth a trip. We will explore the area.

Tanger
The moroccan city at the entrance of the MED is also called St. Tropez of Africa. Reason enough to have a closer look at it.
Lipari Islands
A week at the volcanoes. With shore excursions and crater hikes. Impressive. As an idea ...
