Experience spring in the Netherlands on the water. Your neighbouring country is within easy reach and yet a little holiday abroad and a different culture awaits you. Maybe you’ll take a piece of Dutch serenity home with you…

Your journey starts in the Frisian town of Stavoren. From this bustling port town, we set sail for the most beautiful areas in the north of our country. Just blow through and become one with the elements!

If the weather cooperates, it will be an Easter egg hunt on a Wadden Island. … Discover the natural beauty of the Wadden Sea and the West Frisian islands from the water. While the tide slowly fills the mudflats, the seals take a quick sunbath and various migratory birds fill their bellies so that they can hold out until the next low tide. In between, we glide slowly, almost silently under sail and enjoy the view of islands as they used to be – untouched nature, a small village, some agriculture and a harbour – no sign of large hotel castles!

It is also possible to take a trip on the Ijsselmeer and the Frisian canals. The Ijsselmeer is one of the largest inland waterways in Europe and offers wide, open stretches of water. These not only allow for relaxed sailing, but also a variety of routes and possibilities. Along the coast you will find picturesque historic harbour towns such as Enkhuizen, Hoorn and Urk, which are not only charming but also offer the opportunity to go ashore and explore the local sights during your sailing trip.

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. Shared cabins are normally divided by gender. Only on the Belle Amie and Seatrips Yachts do they sometimes have mixed cabins.

Yes, vegetarians and allergies/intolerances can be catered for on most ships. 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.
