Yacht charter from Tallinn
The yachts on this page are based in Tallinn's marinas below the old town: Helsinki is fifty miles north across the gulf, Naissaar and Prangli islands an afternoon away, and the coast west to Haapsalu and the Estonian islands a week's cruise. The medieval skyline from the water is the first hour of every charter.
