Sailing holiday Waddensea

What happens next? The choice is yours:

Experience “Nederland Waterland”

The television series ‘Nederland Waterland’, showed us how beautiful the Netherlands are, seen from the water. On this varied trip, you can see for yourself. Depending on the wind and tide we will spend the night on Texel or Vlieland, where you will have plenty of time to stroll around. On day two, with the next tide, we will sail to Terschelling. The day after that you can rent a bicycle and explore the island, with endless beaches and lovely villages.
The rest of the week we will sail across the Wadden Sea, the IJsselmeer and the Frisian lakes: on Tuesday, after an adventurous trip across the Wadden Sea, we will arrive in Makkum. On Wednesday we will continue our journey across the IJsselmeer, and after a short stop in Workum we will head for the Frisian lakes. We will spend the night on an uninhabited island, where we can enjoy a delicious BBQ and campfire. On Thursday we will sail, via Stavoren, to Enkhuizen or Medemblik. On Friday we will arrive back in Den Oever in the afternoon.
A sailing holiday Wadden Sea is an adventure; depending on weather, wind and tide, we may deviate from the itinerary.

Four islands tour

This time, we mainly leave the route up to the weather, wind and tides. An adventurous Wadden Sea tour during which we will visit at least the Wadden Islands of Texel, Vlieland, Terschelling and Ameland. The programme also includes an (overnight) “shipwreck” on the Wadden Sea, mudflat walking and seal watching. On one of the islands you will have a whole day to explore the endless beaches, local sights and charming villages by bicycle. A wonderful sailing trip full of variety; we may even reach Schiermonnikoog if conditions are favourable!

Meals

A sailing holiday Wadden Sea is all about sailing and enjoying yourself, so we’ll make sure there is plenty of food and drink on board. All meals are freshly prepared on board, and we also cater for vegetarians and most other diets.
An extensive breakfast and lunch buffet is served daily, and on four evenings our cook serves a varied three-course supper, including wine and beer. On the other days you can dine out in the harbour or on the island. Various snacks are offered between meals. Coffee, tea, (sparkling) water and juice are available throughout the day. You are welcome to bring your own additional snacks and beverages.

Facilities

There are seven double rooms and one four-bed room on board, each with their own washbasin. The comfortable beds are already made upon arrival, so you do not need to bring bed linen. There is a spacious communal bathroom with shower on board. Towels are not included.
