School trips and school camps
Exploring the Wadden Sea.
If you want your pupils to experience a great and educational school trip for several days, a sailing trip on the Wadden Sea is your choice. From the home port of Harlingen, the unforgettable sailing trip through the special UNESCO World Heritage Site begins (for more information go to waddensea-worldheritage.org) to the Wadden Islands. The Wadden Sea is the world’s largest continuous system of sand and mud plains that run dry during low tide. Sailing is the best way for your students to experience this area: far away from engine roar. The sounds of wind, water and birds have free rein. On the way, seal spotting is also guaranteed! Accompanied by experienced crew, your pupils will sail the ship together. During this working week, we can put the ship dry on a sandbank (‘dry fall’). Another special experience: a walk on the seabed!
School trips and school camps at the Spes Mea & Bree Sant
Both flatboats fall under commercial shipping and meet all requirements set by the Shipping Inspectorate (IL&T). The school outing does not have to consist only of sailing. Besides the activities on board, there are plenty to think of ashore. Walking or cycling are the most popular. Museum visits, sports or lazing on the beach are all possible.
Groups
On the Spes Mea, you can accommodate 20 people across eight cabins. If your group is larger, the Bree Sant may be an option. This ship can accommodate 28 guests across 10 cabins.
Life on board
Cooking can be done in the fully equipped galley. A 6-burner gas cooker, a large fridge and everything else you need for preparing meals is on board. Below deck, you will also find the cosy saloon with enough space for everyone. The bunks (beds) in the cabins are comfortable. The cabins are equipped with a sink with hot water. In terms of sanitary facilities, the Spes Mea has 2 toilets and 2 showers. The Bree Sant has a bathroom with toilet and shower extra.
