Workation & water sports by the sea:

Work where wind and waves shape your evenings.

Work by the sea and get on the water after work. Kitesurfing, wingfoiling or simply heading out to sea, right after your last call. 

Whether a workation on Rügen, surfing on Sylt or quiet sessions in Ahrenshoop – here you'll find spots that make your workday better. With a workation on the North Sea or Baltic Sea you combine focused work with perfect conditions for kitesurfing on the Baltic and North Sea – and of course for wingfoiling, windsurfing or wave riding too.

Why workation and water sports by the sea are a perfect match

Don't wait for the weekend. Go kiting when the wind is right. 

Whether kiting, wingfoiling, windsurfing or surfing – many know the problem: 

  • The wind is perfect, but you're stuck in the office? 
  • Or you work remotely, but the nearest kite spot on the Baltic or North Sea is too far away. 


In the end, often only the weekend remains... A workation changes exactly that. You work in a coworking space by the sea and are just minutes away from the kite spot on Rügen, Sylt or Ahrenshoop. 

Water sports become part of your everyday life. The combination of coworking by the sea and active leisure time boosts creativity, motivation and productivity. Remote work by the sea isn't just nicer. It works better.

What do our customers say?

I was completely drained. When your job is creativity and you have none left, it gets really uncomfortable. I actually only came here to get some distance. But what happened was more than that... I gained new perspectives, new people and new energy

Content Creator

I always thought remote work meant freedom. But at some point it was just quiet. No exchange, no energy, no structure. I was working, but somehow not really living. People who understand how this life works. After 3 days on Sylt I had more real conversations than in the previous 3 months.

Customer testimonial

Anna

UX Designer

I came to Project Bay because I wanted to try my first workation. What I didn't expect: how much it would change the way I work and live. Here I was surrounded by people who are really building something, who are creative and shape their lives deliberately. In the morning I could work with focus and in the afternoon I was in the water or out and about. This balance totally won me over.
