Types of sailing boats

Our skippers and crew proudly take you aboard for unforgettable sailing trips, such as a day trip, weekend sailing, midweek sailing or week sailing.

How you wish to spend your stay or wherever you want to sail is completely up to you; every sailing trip starts with a briefing by the skipper, in which you plan a course for the vacation together.
We have also put together great sailing deals for trips to events, for example Oerol, the Brandarisrace or Fjoertoer.

Brown fleet

Under the heading brown fleet, there is still intensive sailing with traditional ships. The brown fleet is the designation for professional charter sailing with traditional sailing ships and motor ships in the Netherlands, which were formerly known as cargo ships. Today, many owners have extensively renovated their ship and equipped the interior with living space, rooms and a kitchen. In most cases, the ships are also equipped with toilets and showers, which means that the use of sanitary facilities does not require mooring.

Traditional ships are often affiliated with a shipping company, to serve as a charter ship or house boat.
