Cruise during Żagle 2025 | Santa Barbara Anna

More information

We invite you to a 2-hour harbor cruise during the “Żagle” event aboard the vessel:

Santa Barbara Anna

Santa Barbara Anna is a steel fishing trawler, originally named VANESSAA ANN. It was built in 1951 at the Richards Ironworks of Lowestoft shipyard and until 1973 was used for fishing around Iceland and England near Fleetwood and Lowestoft. It even had its own contribution to the so-called Cod Wars, during which it suffered damage in a collision with the Icelandic gunboat THOR.

In 1984, the ship was sold due to the owner’s deteriorating health. The new owners, Reg March and Jack Scott, converted her in 1984–85 into a 14-meter larger three-masted topsail schooner.

In 1991, it was sold again to Joseph Maria Kelly, and in 1995 transferred to the City of Rostock, where it remains in service to this day. The ship has a SeeBG (Seafarers’ Accident Insurance Association) safety certificate, a large mess hall, a well-equipped galley, 20 berths, and a sanitary area with three toilets and a shower.

A Sailing Celebration in the Heart of Szczecin!
From August 15 to 17, we invite you to Żagle 2025 – a spectacular maritime event.

Three days of unforgettable experiences lie ahead! Wały Chrobrego and Łasztownia will be filled with tall ships, naval vessels, and smaller yachts heading toward Szczecin. From Friday through Sunday, the sailing ships will be on full display. Dozens of vessels will arrive, many of which will open their decks to visitors and also offer cruises on the Oder River.

While the tall ships are the highlight of the event, they’re not the only attraction. On both sides of the river, two music stages will host top performers and beloved shanty bands. The main stage will be located at the square near Komandorska Street, and the shanty stage will be on Łasztownia. Concerts will take place over all three days and will be completely free of charge.

Musical excitement will also be provided by the 8th Brass Band Festival for the Szczecin Mayor’s Cup. Brass bands from across Poland and abroad will showcase their talents through parades, drill shows, and concerts.
