The destination guide

Tallinn is a Baltic yacht destination with medieval old town, marina access, modern dining, Estonia culture and routes to Helsinki.

Tallinn is included as a preliminary Superyacht Guide destination because it has cultural, strategic, marina, cruising, regatta, passage-making or shore-extension relevance for yacht itineraries. These destinations are not all conventional Mediterranean-style superyacht resorts, but they can add strong value to Northern European, Atlantic, North Sea or Baltic cruising routes.

For owners and guests, Tallinn can form part of a wider itinerary involving historic harbours, city culture, regattas, islands, castles, galleries, seafood, shipbuilding heritage, coastal towns, river approaches, archipelagos or summer cruising grounds. Its current Destination Star rating is deliberately capped pending full editorial assessment.
