Harlingen has ‘Wad’ it takes! For example, the best sailing port for sailing trips or sailing holidays of one day or more on the Wadden Sea or Lake IJssel. On board of a traditional sailing ship of the SHZH you can enjoy an unforgettable wedding, birthday or reunion, a sparkling anniversary or a day, week, midweek or weekend of intimate sailing with friends or family.
Under the guidance of our professional crew you relax and enjoy the outdoors on your sailing holiday on the Wadden Sea or Lake IJssel. Actively participate in hoisting the sails, relax and laze on deck or enjoy catching up on news in the galley. It is all possible on your sailing holiday onboard of one of our cosy historic ships.
Relaxed sailing with friends or family
A weekend of sailing with friends or family? In that case, we recommend a short sailing holiday in the western part of the Wadden Sea. With the centuries-old Brandaris lighthouse on the horizon, you set course for the islands of Texel, Vlieland, Terschelling and the gorgeous wetlands, such as the Griend and the Richel.
Want to sail for a week or longer?
Then discover the eastern part of the Wadden Sea during your sailing holiday. You will be charmed by the islands of Ameland and Schiermonnikoog. The Eastern Wad is much shallower than the Western Wad, thus significantly increasing the chance of the ship drying out on the shallows during the trip. Don’t worry, as this could offer you the opportunity to have a closer look at the beautiful natural surroundings. This sailing holiday will also take you to the former Zuiderzee, these days known as Lake IJssel or IJsselmeer, via the Wadden Sea. In pretty little old port towns such as Medemblik and Enkhuizen you imagine yourself back in the era before the construction of the IJsselmeer Dam.
