Boat trips with De Vrijheid in Oudeschild are one of the most beautiful ways to experience Texel from the water. On board the comfortable ship, you sail out onto the Wadden Sea, in the heart of a UNESCO World Heritage site. As the salty air greets you and the island slowly grows smaller, a world full of nature, space, and surprises opens up. Whether you choose a short trip or a longer voyage of discovery, every sailing brings you closer to that true island feeling.
A highlight of many trips is spotting seals. De Vrijheid sails past sandbanks where groups of seals are resting or swimming. With a bit of luck, you might also see harbour porpoises or special bird species that call the Wadden Sea home. Thanks to the spacious deck, the cosy lounge, and the friendly crew, it is a relaxing outing for young and old alike. In poor weather, you can sit comfortably inside with a sea view, while the captain shares interesting stories about Texel, nature, and fishing. De Vrijheid is suitable for families, groups of friends, corporate outings, and school classes. Special packages are available, such as shrimp fishing, drinks cruises, or sunset tours. For children, it is an adventurous experience: they are sometimes even allowed to help with the fishing or take the helm. The combination of relaxation, education, and experience makes a trip with De Vrijheid unforgettable. It is not just a sightseeing cruise, but an authentic introduction to the Wadden Sea and everything that makes Texel so special. Anyone visiting Texel really shouldn't miss a boat trip with De Vrijheid.
