This short voyage on a beautiful Dutch Tall Ship will take you from Den Helder to Wilhemshaven. Take a few days off for this late summer sailing trip. Maybe you want to try out sailing for the first time on this relatively quiet journey, away from the crowds of big events? Or perhaps you’re an experienced Tall Ships sailor who wants to use this chance for one last trip of the season? No matter your experience level, this is a perfect voyage to end the summer. Places in 2 person cabins available for € 250 per person. Open for Windseekers of 15 years and older.

Ports

Den Helder is a beautiful town in the Netherlands, situated at the very tip of the North Holland province, regularly hosting the Tall Ships events. Discover the town’s sea connections by visiting the Marinemuseum and Nationaal Reddingmuseum Dorus Rijkers. Take a break and go for a walk in the botanical gardens Oranjerie De Groene Parel Den Helder or admire sea life in the Fort Kijkduin Museum and Aquarium.

Wilhelmshaven is a town on the coast in Lower Saxony, Germany. It is situated on the western side of the Jade Bight, a bay of the North Sea. It is adjacent to the Lower Saxony Wadden Sea National Park (part of UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site). Wilhelmshaven is Germany’s only deep-water port, and its largest naval base. Go visit the marine museum, coastal museum, aquarium, UNESCO World Heritage Site Wadden Sea Visitor centre or the “Botanischer Garten”. Or just walk around, enjoy.
