Sailing with the Willem Jacob
We sail on the Wadden Sea with two traditional sailing clippers: the Willem Jacob and the Minerva. These sailing ships are more than 100 years old and offer you the unique opportunity to discover the Wadden Sea in an adventurous way. On board you can help the skipper and mate with sailing. Along the way you will see birds, the endless Wadden Sea and, with a little patience, a seal or a porpoise. It is possible to dine on board. For € 24 per person you can enjoy a freshly prepared, tasty meal made with local products by our professional chef. For an optimal sailing and dining experience, you are expected on board at 5:30 PM. (No dinner available on 04-04-2026)

The Willem Jacob is located in the marina near Nes. The employees of Eilandhopper are standing on the quay to welcome you. You can park your car next to the harbor office. You can also park your bicycles here.
Important to know
The Willem Jacob is not directly at the quay. To get on the clipper, you will have to walk via other boats. Please note! Did you book with dinner? Dinner is at 5:30 PM. The general terms and conditions of ticket sales can be found here: https://www.vvvameland.nl/voorwaarden-ticketverkoop

Het was een echte belevenis.

Heerlijk gegeten en daarna een mooie sunsettocht gemaakt.

Dank voor je fijne woorden! En klopt helemaal — juist in het voorjaar is het op het water frisser, daarom geven we die tip ook vooraf op de ticket mee.

Leuk uitje, wel aan de prijs

Dank je voor je feedback. Een historisch schip van ruim 135 jaar oud varend houden en onderhouden vraagt veel zorg en vakmanschap. We doen ons best om daar een bijzondere ervaring tegenover te zetten.
