Experience autumn at its most beautiful – from the water

Leave the hustle and bustle behind and step aboard for a unique sailing holiday on the Dutch waters. Close to home, yet in a completely different world. As the fresh autumn wind runs through your hair and the low sun glitters across the water, you’ll discover just how breathtakingly beautiful the Netherlands is from the water.

Depart from the charming town of Stavoren and let yourself be carried along the most beautiful spots in the north: the vast IJsselmeer, the peaceful inland waters, and—weather permitting—the impressive Wadden Sea. Each day brings something new, as wind and weather determine your course. This makes every journey unique and full of adventure.

Sail along on the authentic sailing ship Zeven Wouden.

On board, it’s all about the experience. Help out with sailing or sit back and enjoy the view – everything is optional, nothing is required. Together with the experienced crew, you’ll experience authentic sailing life while enjoying delicious freshly prepared meals and the warm, convivial atmosphere on board.

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.
