The sailing ship Leafde fan Fryslân made its maiden voyage for Sail & Bike tours in spring 2018 and is managed by its owner-operators, Joris and Rinske de Wit. In winter 2023-’24, in a quite unique operation, the large sailing vessel was cut into two pieces and extended by a new section of 14 meters (approx. 46 ft.). Also, an additional fourth mast was installed. This will make the Leafde Fan Fryslân the only four-masted-schooner in Dutch waters. The interior of this luxury ship can best be described as refined. The Leafde Fan Fryslân sails Sail & Bike tours during the Tulip season (guided), the Islandhopping Netherlands Premium tour (guided) and during the summer months the “Frisian” Wadden Sea tour (non-guided).
On the lower deck, the Leafde fan Fryslân has sixteen well-appointed cabins. Twelve twin cabins (10 m² – 107 sq.ft.) and one smaller twin cabin (9 m² – 96.8 sq.ft.), with two single beds, which can be set together in most cabins, one junior suite (12 m² – 129 sq.ft.) with two single beds, which can be set together and a small sitting area and two single cabins (7 m² – 75 sq.ft.). Two of the twin cabins can be booked as a three-bed cabin (the third bed as bunk).
On the upper deck there are 4 magnificent suites (18 m² – 193 sq.ft.) with two separate beds, set next to each other as a hotel style bed (200 x 160 cm – 78 x 62 inches), a cozy sitting area, a TV, a double glass door and small private balcony.
All cabins/suites have an en-suite bathroom with shower, toilet and basin, air-conditioning, a hairdryer, a mini safe and a 230-Volt socket. The cabins have portholes and/or a hatch that can be opened.
On the lower deck you will find the air-conditioned restaurant in nautical style, where the carefully prepared sumptuous meals are served. In the wheelhouse on the upper deck, the Leafde fan Fryslân offers a cosy lounge which is equipped with large panoramic windows, a well-appointed seating area , TV and a well equipped bar. Wi-Fi is available. The best views over the water are available here and on the deck, where you can also have a seat when the weather is nice.
