An Easter sailing trip is a wonderful alternative for anyone looking to spend the holidays in a different way. Instead of family brunches and Easter fires, you’ll enjoy fresh North Sea air, active sailing, and a good dose of relaxation. Perfect for those wanting to escape the holiday hustle and immerse themselves in nature rather than the Easter chaos… And of course, you’ll find a few Easter eggs on board as well.

From the moment the first sail is raised, you feel the daily worries fade away. The fresh sea breeze blows past your nose, and with a bit of luck, we’re accompanied by seagulls or seals.

In the days that follow, we sail along the West and East Frisian Islands — Vlieland, Terschelling, Ameland, Schiermonnikoog, Borkum, Juist, or Norderney may be on your route. You’ll have the chance to explore small island harbors, take long beach walks, soak in the vastness of the mudflats, or enjoy the first rays of sunshine of the season on a terrace in a charming island village.

Together with the captain and the mate, you raise the sails, perform maneuvers, practice knots, or steer the ship under guidance. Before entering the harbor, the sails are neatly stowed away again — this way, you actively become part of the crew and learn the basics of traditional sailing in a hands-on way.

Sailing through narrow channels, over sandbanks, and into tidal harbors requires a lot of experience and skilled sail handling. This is a challenge our experienced crew has successfully met for years—and from which you will greatly benefit. Whether you are a seasoned sailor looking to expand your knowledge of tidal waters or a complete beginner, this trip offers a chance to learn about the unique conditions of the Wadden Sea area.

Children’s prices up to 12 years. 10% discount for schoolchildren and students on request.

Frequently asked questions

We still handle your bookings personally and therefore do not have an automatic booking system. This way, we can enable you to reserve individual places for a few days without any obligation. This allows you, for example, to arrange your holiday without someone stealing your place from under your nose. For this reason, we cannot keep track of the exact number of free places on a daily basis. However, we regularly check the availability of our sailing holidays. Therefore, you can generally assume that plenty of free places are still available on all trips that are not marked as ‘fully booked’ or ‘Last Minute’. Call us or use our booking form if you want to know the exact number of places available.

If you are travelling alone and have not booked a private cabin, you will be accommodated in a shared cabin. The shared cabins are usually assigned based on gender.

Exceptions:

  • On the Belle Amie and the Seatrips yachts, there are sometimes mixed-gender cabins as well.
  • On the Sir Robert, there are no shared cabins. Are you traveling alone? Then you must book a single cabin..

Yes, vegetarians and allergies/intolerances can be catered for on most ships. On some ships, the menu can also be adapted for vegans. However, there is only one menu per day on the programme. Therefore, please let us know during your booking if you have any special dietary requirements.

In principle, all our trips are suitable for both experienced and novice sailors. The professional crew on board will teach you everything you need to know. In some cases (e.g. on Atlantic crossings) initial sailing experience may be an advantage/requirement. In this case, this will be clearly indicated in the cruise description.
