7-day trip

Enjoy a wonderful week of sailing & cycling or walking, with us on our sturdy ship, adventurous and romantic!

Experience the ultimate holiday feeling while watching the setting sun on a beautiful summer evening, or by relaxing at our authentic comfortable ship, on deck or downstairs in the cosy lounge.

Sometimes a sailing-day will require a lot of manoeuvres and sometimes it’s just smooth sailing.

Either way: when you have enjoyed a long day of sailing, it’s always nice to arrive in a harbour. After a hefty day of tacking, you can revel in your seaman’s sentiment and relax with a good book, talk over the days experiences with your travel companions or take a walk around to scout the port city or island.

You are most welcome on board on Sunday July 16^th from 21:00 hours.

Our sailing area: The Dutch waters; IJsselmeer, Wadden Sea or inland waterways

Let us guide you on our sturdy ship De Vriendschap and enjoy a wonderful time on board. Let the panoramas and the lakes silver glow enchant you, feel the wind in your hair and relax. Experience the vibe of our Dutch Wadden Sea with its unique islands and sandbanks and taste the salt on your skin. Along the way you will see many birds and seals and sometimes even porpoises.

Because we are dependant on wind and weather, we never know exactly where the journey will take us beforehand. Exciting, because there are numerous options!
We moor in a beautiful Dutch harbor town, or anchor overnight to let you enjoy the intense silence and darkness. We look forward to organizing a wonderful week for and with you.

Buy consciously

We purchase environmentally consciously for our catering packages, which is why we use products from the region and encourage our guests to do the same. The bread is bought from the local bakery, meat from the butcher and vegetables from the greengrocer or market, cheese from the cheese farmer. We try to avoid the large supermarkets.
All this in order to responsibly serve a good and tasty dish for you.
