“Sailing trip” to the eastern Wadden Sea

Experience the Wadden Sea in an authentic way – on board the Eendracht, a traditional flat-bottomed ship. This special sailing trip from Harlingen takes you through the fascinating eastern Wadden Sea to the idyllic island of Schiermonnikoog, considered the most beautiful place in the Netherlands.

As with any real sailing adventure, the rhythm of the wind and tides determines the course. The exact route is determined together with the captain on board – flexible, natural and completely in harmony with nature.

Your journey starts in the picturesque harbor town of Harlingen. After getting to know the crew and fellow travelers, it’s time to cast off on Saturday morning ! The Eendracht glides gently through the mudflats with its flat hull – perfect for this unique landscape. A highlight awaits you right at the start: a seal colony on a sandbank, which you can observe at close range.

Then the actual sailing begins: Through shallow tideways and over sandbanks, always following the wind. Sometimes the ship dries out and waits for the next tide – an impressive spectacle that is only possible in the Wadden Sea.

The destination of the cruise is Schiermonnikoog, the smallest inhabited Wadden island in the Netherlands. Wide beaches, quiet dunes and almost untouched nature invite you to relax and explore. Depending on the wind, the journey can continue to Lauwersoog or a little further east – where there are hardly any fixed sea marks and orientation requires real experience.

You enjoy full board on board during the entire cruise – all meals are freshly prepared. Water, tea, coffee and milk are included, and other drinks are available at fair prices.

You will spend the night in cozy cabins with made-up beds and towels – arrive, rest, feel good.

This cruise is more than just a sailing trip – it is a deceleration in the rhythm of the tides, a real nature experience for all those who want to experience the Wadden Sea from its most pristine side.

Come aboard the Eendracht and discover the Wadden Sea UNESCO World Heritage Site from a new perspective.
