The Alexandra, a robust Zuid-Holland river clipper, was built at the renowned Duivendijk shipyard in Lekkerkerk in 1895. The fast sailing ship was converted in 1932 already. The sails and masts had to make way for an engine. After years of sailing as a freighter, the ship was used as a houseboat from the ’70s until the ’90s.
Since another conversion during the ’90s, the ship has been in use as a charter vessel. Below deck is a very homely daytime accommodation area and spacious two-person huts with washing facilities. The afterdeck has plenty of space to sit as you enjoy the wonderful views or take the rudder into your own hands, should you wish to. There’s nothing better than steering a big ship like this through the waves.
With their vast experience of Dutch inland waters, the skipper and his mate are happy to show you the finest areas of the IJsselmeer, the Wadden Sea or the Frisian lakes. Working out the route and itinerary together will ensure a fun, relaxing sailing trip. If you like, you can help to hoist the sails and operate the leeboards.
The skipper welcomes you aboard this comfortable clipper for a wonderful trip to the Wadden Sea or to visit one of the various centuries-old villages on the former Zuiderzee.

Extending your trip Its possible for trips to be extended. Contact us for a tailored quote.
Alternative departure harbour Its also possible to use a departure harbour other than the base harbours. If you do, you should take into account the vessels crossing time, which will either be charged for or form part of your trip itinerary. That charge is €60 per hour for vessels being prepared for trips of more than one day.
Bedding and towels Trips of more than one day always include the provision of sheets, pillows and pillow cases. Towels can be hired on board for €4 each. You can arrange this with us up to three weeks before departure.
Cleaning If the cleaning of the vessel after the trip is not included in the rental price (see specifications menu), you can choose to carry out the cleaning yourself or pay to have it done. You can pay the captain on board, or have it added it to the charge for services if you are paying for catering. Cleaning on Saturdays and Sundays is subject to a €20 supplement.
