As your ship plies hither and thither across the IJsselmeer for the entire weekend, you visit those ancient picture-perfect little harbours, achieving peace, rest and tranquillity. By the time your boat returns to port on Sunday evening, you have also learned the finer points of sailing.

You board your sailing vessel in Harlingen on Friday evening when the group and the crew get to meet one another. Everyone can then either enjoy a pleasant evening on board or in one the quayside pubs.

Shrug off your engrained weekly routines for once with a relaxed sailing trip over the IJsselmeer and the Wadden Sea. From Monday to Friday all you need think about is sailing. The soft splash of water as wave strikes bow. The magic prospects far ahead.

Setting out from Enkhuizen you set course, maybe for Stavoren. You can then continue from there via Makkum and the Frisian Lakes toward the Wadden Sea, where you decide to take a walk along the outstretched sand flats of the Island of Vlieland. A true voyage of adventure under sail.

For this sailing holiday you embark in the harbour of Harlingen. Here you get to know the ship and your fellow passengers, and the route is discussed. Then you depart for the first trip over the Frisian Sea.

During this sailing holiday, you will sail together with other families with children, age four to twelve, from one port to the next. The trip begins in Enkhuizen, where you will become acquainted with the ship, the crew and the other guests.

Enjoy the beauty of the IJsselmeer and the Frisian Sea with people of your own age. Exchange tales of an evening about Makkum’s famous earthenware, a magical walk along a beach and the sailing tips you just learned. An unforgettable five day trip.

The coastline of the Baltic Sea offers a huge variety for every kind of stirring weekend under sail. Impressively sheer coasts interspersed with sweet little stretches of beach, fairytale villages and vibrant cities.

On the Channel Islands, the tide is the clock and the sea is the larder. These islands are characterised by huge tides, rugged coastlines, natural harbours and romantic bays. The coast of Normandy and Brittany together with the Channel Islands form an ideal combination for a sailing holiday.

At the beginning and at the end of every season our vessels travel to the sailing areas where they will perform their duties for the next months. For those who have always dreamt of a long voyage at sea there is now an opportunity. Depending on wind an weather, there will be shared watch duties at night. By day a golden sea because of the rising sun. By nigth the silver of the moon. Impressions that are hard to explain in words.
