Historische Zeilvaart Harlingen

About

Discover the Wadden Sea area with Historic Sailing Harlingen! Since 1985, our skippers and their crew have been ready to sail you into an unforgettable adventure. With their historic ships they’ll take you across the Wadden waters. No sailing experience? No worries! The mate will show you the ropes (literally). Sailing is all about teamwork and is fun for all ages. Once the sails are hoisted, the skipper will navigate you through the waters, where you can soak up the salty breeze and enjoy the wide, watery vistas. These ships may be steeped in history, but they sail with the wind of modern comforts—high railings, central heating, cozy cabins, modern facilities, a welcoming saloon, and a fully equipped galley. Book one of our all-inclusive packages: from a day trip with mudflat walking to a week of island-hopping and everything in between. Are you with a larger crew of 8 or more? Charter a ship for a custom sailing journey over the Wadden Sea, IJsselmeer and Friesian inland waters.
