Sailing along the seals with the Toekomst

Sail the mudflats with 'de Toekomst' and spot seals along the way. De Toekomst is a kofschip (a Dutch kof ship) with a length of 30 meters and a width of approximately 6 meters. These ships were once widely used for trade in the Wadden Sea region. The two-master was launched in 2002. There is room for 60 passengers on board. The home port is Terschelling. Sailing If there is sufficient wind, the sails are hoisted and the ship sails along sandbanks, through channels and inlets, spotting seals along the way. The crew is essential for sailing. Would you like to join us as a crew member? It's a sporting challenge where you can get involved in all aspects of sailing with de Toekomst. If you book at short notice (approximately 3 hours before the start), please contact skipper Gijs first. The trip lasts 2.5 hours.

Gijs is een hele leuke schipper met passie voor zijn vak!

We boekte erg last minute maar dat was geen probleem. De toekomst is een heel mooi schip die van alle gemakken voorzien is. Gijs vertelt vol passie over zijn ervaringen en je mag hem alles vragen. Je kan zo actief mee doen als je wil van gewoon blijven zitten en voor je uit kijken tot mee helpen de zeilen te hijsen en sturen van de boot. Ook leuk met kids, reddingsvesten aanwezig. Zeker een aanrader om even een andere ervaring te hebben vanaf het eiland.

Très sympa de découvrir les Wadden sur l’eau

Ce fut une belle expérience très sympathique avec mise à contribution si on en avait envie ;-) Ces îles sont merveilleuses vues du bateau

Segeln zum Mitmachen: Natur, Wissen und Spaß an Bord

Wir haben den Segelausflug genossen. Es gibt Erläuterungen zur Umgebung, den Tieren und zur Schiffahrt an sich. Die Gäste haben die Gelegenheit Fragen zu stellen, die fachmännisch und humorvoll beantwortet werden. Mit Ferngläsern kann man die Seehunde aus nächster Nähe beobachten. Alle dürfen beim Setzen der Segel mit anpacken. Getränke und Snacks gibt es an Bord, eigene Verpflegung ist erlaubt. Eine rundum empfehlenswerte Tour.
