— MILE BUILDING FROM FRANEKER TO LABOE —

Experience an active mile-building trip from Dutch Friesland to the German Baltic coast. This sailing voyage takes you from Franeker across the Wadden Sea, out onto the North Sea, onwards towards Germany, through the Kiel Canal and finally to Laboe near Kiel.

The focus is on genuine sea sailing: longer passages, building miles, using wind and tide, possibly sailing through the night and experiencing the rhythm of life on board. Depending on conditions, stops on Terschelling, Helgoland, in Brunsbüttel or on the Kiel Fjord may be possible.

— FROM WADDEN SEA TO BALTIC —

The voyage begins in Franeker in Friesland. On the Wadden Sea you can initially get used to the boat, the crew and life on board. A possible first highlight is Terschelling – one of the most beautiful Dutch Wadden Islands with dunes, woodland, village life and a wide beach atmosphere.

After that you head out onto the North Sea. Sailing past the Dutch and German Wadden Islands you make your way towards Germany. Given suitable wind and tidal conditions, Helgoland may be called at: red cliffs, seabirds, the Lange Anna and a genuine offshore island feeling in the middle of the German Bight.

The route then continues to Brunsbüttel and through the Kiel Canal to Kiel. There's no sailing on the canal, but the passage is still fascinating: large cargo ships, bridges, locks and, in spring, yellow oilseed rape fields along the banks. To finish there may be a sailing leg on the Kiel Fjord before the trip ends in Laboe.

— ACTIVE SAILING AND MILE BUILDING —

This trip suits crew members who want to experience the rhythm of a longer voyage. You can help set sail, handle lines, take the helm, assist with manoeuvres or simply watch how crew, ship, wind and tide work together.

Sailing experience is helpful but not essential. The crew will explain what's happening on board and how you can get involved. More important are curiosity, team spirit and enthusiasm for real life at sea.

If conditions require it or suit it well, sailing may continue through the night. This creates the special mile-building rhythm of watches, sleeping, eating, sailing and shared moments on deck.
