History
Twister was build completely out of wood as a traditional fishing ship in 1902. In 1957 the wooden hull was replaced by a steel one. The ship continued to operate as a modern fishing cutter until 1981. In 1998 the two-masted schooner was completely converted into a luxury sailing ship with the feel of a yacht and a drive for an adventure.
Accommodation
The Twister's accommodation plan makes her a perfect Ship for families. You can choose between two-person, three-person and four-person cabins, each equipped with washbasin and storage space for your luggage. The shower and WC are communal. The Twister is a very spacious and comfortable vessel, with a very generous saloon to relax in after your watch.
