Experienced sailors get very enthusiastic about the Carpe Diem. The decorative features, teak decks and high rigging all combine to make the Carpe Diem look truly elegant. The ship can sail at quite a pace, while the wide hull ensures stability and safety. Leo, the skipper and host, has 25 years' experience and is an accomplished sailor, and the whole crew will be on hand to make sure you and your guests thoroughly enjoy yourselves.

You will have the opportunity of sailing in comfort, including being served lunch and dinner. For a relaxing day with business associates, an exciting company outing, or a stimulating meeting, we can offer it all. Seize the day, hoist the sails! You do not need any experience to help the skipper and his crew hoist the sails, connect the clews, tack or gybe. The crew will be happy to familiarise you with a world where ropes are transformed into clews and halyards. But if you prefer, you can just relax and enjoy the voyage.

The day can be varied with a walk along the beach, or a visit to a museum, etc. The ship is highly suitable for corporate hospitality, company outings, teambuilding, meetings, weddings, wedding anniversaries, parties, and celebrations.

The Carpe Diem has also been officially designated by the Waterland local authority as a wedding location in Monnickendam. You therefore have the chance of saying I do on board the romantic Carpe Diem in an intimate setting. You can enjoy breakfast, lunch, and dinner on board. Among the guests we have welcomed on board have been ANWB, Ahold, Fortis, KLM, and the Crown Prince. Why not sail like a king! See you on board! P.S. On our homepage you can see a very informative video about the Carpe Diem. As well as our extensive menu, we also offer, as a speciality, a meat, fish, or vegetarian barbecue! Discounts on Sundays and Mondays!
