Part of Europe’s maritime history for centuries, the Estonian and Latvian coasts have succeeded in maintaining their Hanseatic charm, preserving their natural landscape and cultural heritage while developing a confident, modern and forward-looking economy.

The diverse shoreline of the East Baltic Coast is washed by the mighty waves from the open sea in Kurzeme which meet the calmer waters of the Gulf of Rīga and the Gulf of Finland. It really does not matter if you are looking for a white sandy or rocky beach, or would like to sail around islands – you will find it all here. Sailing in the East Baltic means discovering the picturesque fishing villages, multiple areas untouched by civilisation, imposing port cities, the vibrant capitals of Tallinn and Riga, as well as popular resort towns and their gourmet restaurants. And, a pleasant and safe stay in well-equipped and modern marinas.

Why not discover the modern network of small harbours which offer excellent services to sailing enthusiasts. https://www.eastbaltic.eu/useful-info/video/

The Interreg Estonia-Latvia programme has supported the improvement and promotion of the East Baltic Coast  small harbours network on the western coast of Latvia and around the Gulf of Riga, including the islands of Estonia through a total investment of around € 12 million.
