Welcome to the 'Zeemeeuw'

Her sturdy appearance reveals the purpose for which the 'Zeemeeuw' was built in 1924 - to master the rough waters of Northern Europe. This unique lugger was restored and began sailing as a passenger ship in 1990.

Aboard the 'Zeemeeuw', there is a perfect balance between high comfort and a classic 'nautical' interior. Her attractive interior is perfect for meetings and courses, or simply for enjoyable relaxation in the evening after a day of sailing.


Sailing trips start from the home port of Harlingen, and the ship puts into a different port every evening, ranging from picturesque the IJsselmeer towns to rugged Frisian islands.

In short, this ship offers something for everyone, both fanatic sailors and those who just want to relax in the sun. Aboard the 'Zeemeeuw' of skipper/owner Peter de Jong, you will see that activity and relaxation go hand in hand.

The IJsselmeer, The Frisian Sea, The Frisian inland waters.
