SV Mare van Fryslân

Ship description

The Mare fan Fryslân was originally built in 1960 as a cargo ship and was extensively rebuilt and renovated in 2006.
Since 2007, she has been an extremely comfortable and elegant three-masted schooner that enriches the Dutch waters. The sails can be operated both manually and electrically, combining traditional seafaring with modern technology. 

The Mare fan Fryslân is specially designed for the popular tours in the Wadden Sea.


Lenght: 54 m
Breadth: 7,2 m
Sail area: 650 qm
Guests: 27-40 in 14 cabins
Crew: 4

The lower deck of the Mare fan Fryslân houses a cozy, wood-panelled saloon/restaurant area with a stylish atmosphere. From there you can access the wheelhouse on the upper deck, which has a spacious seating area, a well-equipped bar, a music and video system and a TV. You can enjoy a wonderful view of the water through the large windows around the room. Wi-Fi is available. The wooden outdoor deck offers plenty of seating, a steering position, an outdoor bar with a beer tap and barbecue as well as a whirlpool. There is also space for bicycles. When the weather is fine, you can relax here and enjoy the view to the full during the trip.
