The 'Mother Goose' was built in 1908. She was originally commissioned by the Royal Netherlands Navy to place buoys in the Zuiderzee. Until the end of October 2006 the 'Mother Goose' was in the safe hands of the Jonk family. At the beginning of November 2006 the family moved to Curaçao for a new challenge. Niels Mulder has taken over at the helm of the ship. 

Niels has sailed since his early youth on the Ijsselmeer and is a sailing-man through and through. Aboard this cosy ship, hospitality and conviviality reign supreme. The spacious quarterdeck has a horse-shoe bench providing adequate seating for guests to enjoy their trip in comfort. The ship even boasts an excellent barbecue facility! When the weather conditions are less than favourable, the wheelhouse provides a safe shelter and offers stunning views across the water.

The salon is the ideal venue for festive occasions such as stag nights and hen parties. Brides and grooms-to-be are more than welcome aboard the 'Mother Goose'. A successful trip is guaranteed!
