Family sailing in the Wadden Sea

Adventure, fresh air, new friends and endless things to discover: Flying a kite, playing pirate, setting sail, collecting shells or simply feeling the wind in your face – that’s exactly what you’ll experience on our family sailing trip in the Wadden Sea.

This vacation is ideal for families with children of all ages – grandparents, uncles and aunts are also welcome! Together with other families, you will sail through the Wadden Sea UNESCO World Heritage Site on a traditional tall ship. You don’t need any sailing experience – just a desire for the sea and shared experiences.

Your adventure starts in the port of Harlingen. On Sunday evening you go on board, move into your cabin and get to know the crew and fellow passengers. After breakfast on Monday, it’s time to cast off! The course depends on the wind and tides – perhaps to Terschelling or Vlieland.

If you like, you can actively help with setting the sails or steering. Children discover the ship, play or relax in the jib net. After a day at sea, you can explore the islands: take a walk on the beach, collect shells or stroll through the small stores. In the evening, you can enjoy a freshly prepared meal on board and round off the day in comfort.

A special highlight: falling dry on a sandbank. When the tide comes in, the ship lies in the middle of the mudflats – and you can walk barefoot across the seabed. Shells, crabs, silence and vastness – a real nature adventure!

You enjoy full board with freshly cooked meals, water, tea, coffee and milk included. Other drinks are available on board at a reasonable price. You are welcome to help with cooking or washing up – sailing is teamwork.

Your cabins are comfortably furnished and fully equipped with bed linen and towels. Showers and toilets are shared. In the lounge there are books, games and space to sit together.

Whether setting sail, playing on deck or watching the sunset – on this family sailing vacation in the Wadden Sea you will experience nature, community and freedom. Memories that last.

Included services: Full board, bed linen, final cleaning, harbor fees, tourist tax.
Alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks are available from the crew at the bar at fair prices for a fee.
