Vertrouwen

Forget the daily hustle, appointments, and obligations. Step aboard the Vertrouwen and join an unforgettable journey through the stunning UNESCO World Heritage Dutch Wadden Sea. Katja, the owner and skipper of the Vertrouwen, is a true lover and ambassador of the Wadden, and she invites you to share this adventure with her.

A sailing trip on the Vertrouwen is perfect for company outings, youth trips, group trips for clubs and associations, as well as a pleasant outing with friends.

Unique interior

The interior of the Vertrouwen has been renovated with much love and attention, allowing you to stay comfortably on board. The dayroom has a nice open kitchen with a professional cooker, large fridge and tap system. Besides a number of cabins with bunk beds, there are also double beds. This makes the Vertrouwen perfect for families, couples, seniors and groups of friends. There is even a special bathroom on board, almost like home, with a mirror, large sink, towel radiator and plenty of space to change.

Relaxing on board

On deck, you can enjoy a lovely hardwood sun deck with soft cushions and warm fleece blankets, allowing you to relax comfortably during the sailing trip.

With her experience, enthusiasm, and her fast and comfortable ship, Katja is eager to introduce you to the stunning nature and unique places of the Wadden Sea. You’re guaranteed an unforgettable journey.

Experience the elements water, wind and sun!

Enjoy special sailing days in the enchanting world between low and high tide. The Wadden Sea, with its very Dutch and at the same time exotic charm, stretches just off the coast. Here, detached from the mainland, you experience a benevolent freedom. Leave everything behind and enjoy the ancient rhythms and golden yellow beaches as far as the eye can see. The Dutch Wadden Sea region consists of five islands, each with a unique character. Experience them all!

With a draft of only 85 cm, the Vertrouwen is ideal for the shallow, tide-dependent Wadden Sea. The vessel is perfectly suited for dry landings, a unique experience where you experience the tides to the full. The water flows away and the sandbank becomes visible in the distance. Birds search for food at the waterline, while you discover all kinds of treasures on the sandbanks: shells, crabs, jellyfish, cockles, mussels and more. The Wadden Sea is home to a great diversity of plants and animals.
