Vriendentrouw

The Vriendentrouw: Sporty sailing with a smile
Are you looking for a ship that combines speed with a laid-back atmosphere? Meet the Vriendentrouw. This single-mast clipper is a true thoroughbred sailor that has even proven its worth in regattas. The crew is just as sporty as the ship itself: they are highly flexible and love to tailor the trip to your wishes. With professional sailing instructions, anyone who wants to help can be part of the action on deck in no time.

Comfort and relaxation on the water
Prefer to take it easy? The beautiful cockpit on deck offers a safe and comfortable place to sit while under sail. The Vriendentrouw is an easy handler; for weekend bookings, we often set sail as early as Friday evening. This brings the stunning islands of Vlieland and Terschelling within easy reach. A must-do experience is beaching (tidal grounding): walking on the seabed of the Wadden Sea right around the ship! Even in the early or late season, the ship is very comfortable thanks to central heating in all cabins and the main salon.

Versatile sailing area: From the IJsselmeer to the Frisian Lakes
Due to its dimensions, this "Brown Fleet" ship can pass through almost all locks in Friesland. This means that besides the IJsselmeer and the Wadden Sea, the inland Frisian Lakes are also yours to explore. In consultation with the skipper, you decide the perfect route for an unforgettable journey.
