Michael Pöttinger - Owner & Skipper of DESTINY
From early childhood to now, I have been fortunate that my father has had a sailboat on Lake Chiemsee. At age 5, it was still a small dinghy, now a beautiful h26, and in between were sporty times with a Jongleur. So I had plenty of time to learn inland sailing in light winds or even thunderstorms. Since my late twenties, I have been able to gain a lot of experience on the Mediterranean and later on the Atlantic with various skippers, and every day my desire grew to sail my own sailing yacht one day. With DESTINY, a childhood dream is fulfilled and opens a new chapter in my life.
The Special Sailing Feeling
"Adventure, freedom and the good feeling of being on the water with like-minded people. Every trip is different – sometimes sporty and ambitious, sometimes enjoyable and relaxed. Depending on wind, crew and destination."
