SAILING ON AN AUTHENTIC SAILING SHIP FOR ONE OR MORE DAYS
Where one can enjoy weeks on board, the other is already looking forward to be on shore after one or a few days. Sailing doesn’t have to be in your heart to sail longer or shorter. It is fun for everyone, from young to old and you decide how long you want to do that. That is why we have standard and customized packages.
OUR STANDARD PACKAGES
A DAY TRIP ON THE WADDEN SEA OR THE IJSSELMEER
Day trips start around 10 am and last until the end of the afternoon. Unless you want to enjoy a lavish barbeque or dinner on board. We sail from Harlingen or Enkhuizen and decide in advance which locations fit into the day program.
For culture lovers, for example, it is the Batavialand open-air museum in Lelystad or we can go to the traditional VOC port city of Hoorn, where a true replication from 1600 can be found.
Nature lovers can indulge themselves during a guided walk on the Marker Wadden. Here you will learn everything about the flora and fauna of this new nature reserve.
For the sailors or those who want to learn, the sailing adventure starts as soon as the mooring lines come loose. The day becomes as active as you want it to be with destination “the horizon”.
A day trip from Harlingen can consist of a visit to the Wadden Islands of Terschelling or Vlieland. At a favorable tide you can also walk out on one of the many sandbanks or take a dune walk or bike ride. Of course you can also stay on board and enjoy the view while lazing around.
SAIL A WEEKEND OR A WEEK
More days on board not only means more seeing and experiencing, but also that you learn more about sailing and the Wadden area or the IJsselmeer. During a multi-day sailing trip you can visit all the Wadden Islands and sail under the starry sky at night on a clear night.
What you can see and where we dock depends on the plan we draw up together, the changing wind and tides. That is why a multi-day sailing trip can change every day, because we want to keep the wind in our sails.
A WEEKEND AWAY ABOARD AN AUTHENTIC SAILING SHIP
During a weekend away, you usually board on Friday evening and we moor again in Harlingen or Enkhuizen on Sunday afternoon.
On Saturday morning, the weather forecast and wind forecasts are first shared to determine which course can be sailed. After the mooring lines are unloaded, we set sail for one of the Wadden Islands or we heave across the IJsselmeer on our way to one of the many port cities.
A WEEK OR LONGER HOLIDAY IN THE NETHERLANDS
For true sailing and nature lovers, it is a pleasure to spend a week or more in your own country on one of our authentic sailing ships. During this ramble across the Wadden Sea, every day is determined by changing tides and wind directions. The pinnacle of slow travel! Thanks to the captain’s endless passion and experience, who knows how to tell you all about this, you will be captivated daily by the beauty of nature and the rich history of the Wadden area.
Sailing for a week or more is an alternation between nature, culture, effort and relaxation. You sail through channels where few other ships can come and anchor in the evening on the open sea or moor in one of the many ports. Longer sailing trips are something you do together. You, us and the sailing ship.
OTHER POSSIBILITIES
Sailboats are ideal for groups such as a school class, companies, associations or a group of friends. The intimacy of the sailing ship brings people together and creates connection. On or off the ship, because together you hoist the sails or storm the bars of one of the many ports. Sailing is something for everyone.
