Sailing with traditional sailing ship Averechts ***

The ship
The Averechts is called the luxurious hotel among the traditional sailing ships. This 37 meter long ship (type: klipper) was originally built in 1892, and was rebuilt in 1995 into an atmospheric and comfortable charter ship.
Inside there is a comfortable common area to relax, have meals together, have meetings and presentations, do games etc. It is also great to be outside on deck or in the sociable sit compartment.

On IJsselmeer and Waddenzee
From the pitoresk village Harlingen, the Averechts sails the IJsselmeer and Waddenzee. Together we decide the route.
We will visit the Ilands Terschelling, Vlieland or Texel or the ncie little harbor towns and fishing villages like Makkum, Urk, Medemblik, etc. We will do sighseeings, excursions or other activities.
Or would you prefer to sail on a sandbank to let it fall dry and watch seals? |
