Avontuurlijke klipper Boekanier

The two-masted clipper Boekanier is a sturdy and attractive ship with hospitable crew. It is the perfect ship to go on an adventure on the Dutch waters with classmates, family, friends or colleagues. Together with sailor Ramses you determine the course and it is also possible for inexperienced sailors to hoist the sails. In no time you will speak the skipper's language and you will sail into the most beautiful ports, cities or villages.

You will quickly feel at home on board the Boekanier. Skipper Joop prepares the most delicious pancakes for you in the cosily furnished room with an open kitchen. Together with his wife Fenny, he has everything under control thanks to their years of experience on the water. Ship ahoy!

Skipper Joop used to be a cook and waiter by profession. He then opted for remedial education, but in the meantime he became acquainted with sailing at a sailing camp. From then on, sailing has never disappeared from his life. He even incorporated his love for sailing into his thesis. For example, he developed ''Sailing treatment' for young people from a closed ward. Something that has led to great success and where young people learned what they could do while growing up on board. 30 years ago Joop bought his first ship, the Boekanier. He cultivated these with a lot of passion and love. In addition, Joop also bought another ship with which he sailed around the world. Nowadays he only has the Boekanier and he likes to share it with his guests.

Together with his wife Fenny and the rest of the team, he ensures an unforgettable and carefree time on board.

On the Boekanier there is room for 45 people during a day trip. If you want to stay overnight, there is room for 26 people (can be expanded with 2). The boat has 5x 2-person cabins and 4x 4-person cabins. There is a sink in each cabin and there are also 3 toilets and 3 showers on board.

How to get to the pick-up point or information about parking depends on the pick-up point you have chosen. The skipper will gladly tell you about how to get there and whether parking is available. The distances below are based on Makkum.

Departure ports: Makkum (other departure and arrival ports on request).

The town of Makkum is located in the Frisian province. The perfect starting point for the adventure on the Buccaneer. Makkum has a pleasant boulevard on the beach. Sail from Makkum across the Frisian lakes to the Wadden Sea, where you can then walk on the mudflats or moor on one of the beautiful islands our country has to offer. Another boarding point is of course also possible in consultation with the skipper!
