About Ærø

Ærø lies in the South Funen Archipelago between Funen and Langeland and is widely regarded as one of the finest cruising areas in the Baltic Sea. The island is highly yacht-oriented, offering short passages, sheltered waters, and multiple harbours suitable for different wind conditions.

Historically, Ærø played a major maritime role, with Marstal once being one of Denmark’s most important shipping towns.

Navigation is straightforward, with well-marked fairways and comfortable depths for keel yachts. Ærø is often chosen as a base for week-long cruises and as a key waypoint between the Great Belt and the southern Baltic. It is a destination sailors frequently return to.
