Multi-day trip

Dry-out trip

Flat-bottomed ships such as the Willem Jacob and the Minerva are made to run aground. When running aground, the ship sails above a sandbank at high tide. Because the water level drops, the ship ends up on the sandy bottom of the Wadden Sea. You can then disembark and walk across the seabed.

Make sure you are back on board when the tide rises. The ship comes loose again because of the tide and we sail on. After a few hours, we continue our sailing trip. How long it takes to run aground depends on where we are on the sandbank.

Sailing with the Willem Jacob

The Willem Jacob, build in 1889 is completely turned upside down during the last five years. By now the ship has a new bottom, the interior is all new, and there is a new and quiet engine. The outside is restored as good as possible. There is an ongoing wooden hatch from bow to aft, the sides of the accommodation are covered with wood en in 2011 the new mast trunk was sounded.

Sailing from Lauwersoog

De Willem Jacob ligt in de Vissershaven, tegenover restaurant Schierzicht.
