De Vrijheid: relaxed and intimate

If you prefer a calmer trip, De Vrijheid offers a comfortable experience. This ship, suitable for a maximum of 12 people, sets sail daily to spot seals at the sandbar De Razende Bol. With plenty of seating both inside and out and a heated cabin, it is ideal for families and small groups. The skippers, born and bred on Texel, share interesting stories about the Wadden area and local fauna during the 1.5-hour trip.
