A summer week especially for families! Tablets and phones can stay at home. This week is all about you. Untie the ropes together, learn to tie knots or relax in the sun. The destination? Maybe Enkhuizen, maybe one or more of the Wadden Islands or Takka Tukka Land?

Together with other families, we explore the IJsselmeer coast and/or discover the picturesque Wadden Sea islands. With a bit of luck, you can also observe seals in their natural habitat. The experienced crew members are always on hand to show you how to set the sails and keep the ship safely on course – experience is not required.

Besides sailing, there is time for activities ashore such as playing football, fishing or just exploring the surroundings. Evenings on board provide space for family activities, games and, of course, telling sea stories.

And at night, when the children are lying in their beds dreaming of new adventures, the adults can enjoy a glass of wine or beer.

However the journey goes, everyone ends up feeling a bit like Vicky the Viking or Captain Redbeard. Put your eye patch in your duffle bag and set sail!

Frequently asked questions

We still handle bookings personally and therefore do not have an automated booking system. This allows us to offer you the option to reserve individual spots without obligation for a few days. This way, for example, you can arrange your vacation without anyone snatching your spot right under your nose. For this reason, we are unable to keep track of the exact number of available spots on a daily basis. However, we regularly check the availability of our sailing holidays. Therefore, you can generally assume that there are still enough available spots 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 available spots.

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.
