Sail along on the ‘Spes Mea’ or the ‘Bree Sant’

The Spes Mea and the Bree Sant are historic flat-bottomed ships on which group trips and co-sailing are done on the Wadden Sea and the IJsselmeer. With these ships one can go on an unforgettable sailing trip to the Wadden Islands, where sailing experience is not necessary.

Sailing on the Wadden Sea or IJsselmeer

Explore Dutch waters on a large sailing ship. We visit picturesque port towns on the former Zuiderzee or we visit the beautiful Wadden Islands. But a historic sailing ship offers more opportunities for a great experience.

I did the 50+ senior trip this year and was so excited that I have booked again for 2019 😊. On board, you could let your ‘soul dangle’ surrounded by lovely people. Captain and sailor were competent and very nice, our chef Caro spoiled us as a whole. Everything just fitted - thank you!

You can book the ships for your group of friends, family or association. The ship is then exclusively for you. Of course, the skipper and mate will sail along!

Hotelship

In winter it is not sailing weather in the Netherlands. we put the ships in Groningen as B&B ships. Think, for example, Eurosonic/Noorderslag. (ESNS)

Sailing

For beautiful moments on the Wadden Sea

Not far from home yet very far away from the crowds. The Wadden is known for its beautiful vistas and colours. With our flatboats, we can leave the ferry routes and see the beautiful nature the Wadden Sea offers up close. We actually always see seals and even the occasional porpoise!

2 extended sailing ships

Both ships offer all the comforts you need during your sailing trip.

Professional Crew

The crew requirement from the Inland Shipping Act is that there is a skipper and a deckhand (Mate) on board. The skipper(se) holds the main or small sailing licence. The deckhand (or mate) holds a service booklet.

Overnight stay possible

You can enjoy your night's sleep in the comfortable beds. With a bit of luck, the ship will move a little so you will be rocked to sleep.

Senior friendly trips

In season, we organise a 55+ comfort trip every month. We provide plenty of space on board as we do not book all beds. A cook takes care of your meals.
