The Passaat and the Poseidon are both two-mast clippers fitted out for sailing with guests. The ships have a regular crew consisting of the skipper and the mate. Our home port Harlingen opens out into the beautiful sailing area of the Waddenzee and IJsselmeer.

The Waddenzee reaches from Den Helder to the Eems between the offshore islands and the mainland. The western part of the Waddenzee has deep, wide channels well-suited to larger ships thus offering endless sailing possibilities while the eastern part with its narrow channels and numerous sandbanks makes sailing a real adventure. All the harbours on these islands are accessible to our ships.

One hour’s sail away from Harlingen, through the Kornwerderzand locks, is the IJsselmeer, or the former Zuiderzee. This large sailing area, approx. 80 km long and 25 km wide has many small harbour towns which are well worth visiting.

Routes and destinations are planned together with the crew.
