Nighttime drying trip with a sailing ship on the mudflats

During this nighttime dry-fall trip, we sail with the clipper Willem Jacob across the Wadden Sea to a sandbank. There, the ship runs aground and we spend the night. Running aground in the middle of the Wadden Sea, surrounded by silence and stars, it is an experience you should not miss. You can only really experience the dark from the water. On clear nights, you can see lots of stars! A perfect short getaway to completely relax in nature. You sleep in the large hold where the bunk beds are ready. Bed linen is provided on board and breakfast is included. ✔ Sailing experience is not necessary ✔ Suitable life jackets are available on board for all ages (from 2 years) ✔ Departure from the Veerdam of Schiermonnikoog ✔ Depending on the weather, wear a warm sweater and bring rain gear if necessary! ✔ Also remember sunscreen, sunglasses and bring a towel ✔ Tip: don't forget your binoculars!

Location

The departure of the clipper Willem Jacob of the Eilandhopper will take place on the south side of the ferry harbour, at the crane and the round white house. The Eilandhopper ships can be recognised by the large Eilandhopper flag. If you come by bike, you can park it at the special bicycle shed near the sailing boat, against the fence. Please note that bicycles may not be placed near the crane or the white house, because of the driveway of the cars and trucks to the ferry and the crane used by the KNRM. Please arrive on time, because we will not wait, no, sorry, the tide will not wait either. Plan to be there 15 minutes in advance.


Important to know

✔ The clipper has one large hold with built-in bunk beds. So you sleep together in 1 large space. ✔ The price includes bed linen, breakfast and lunch If you have an allergy or a dietary requirement, please let us know in advance by email info@eilandhopper.nl ✔ Please arrive on time, because we do not wait, no, sorry, the tide does not wait either. Plan to be there 15 minutes in advance.

Eilandhopper

Sailing is always a special experience, especially on an authentic ship! Come with us and discover the Wadden Sea while sailing. Sailing is suitable for both children and adults. Sailing experience is not necessary. Participation is allowed, but not required. There is always someone with experience on board who is happy to explain everything. Don't feel like helping with the sailing? Then you can also sit on the deck and take in the surroundings and relax.
