The Avontuur is the ideal ship for a nice day trip, weekend away, cosy midweek or (short) holiday.

Relax or help out on deck

While sailing, you can relax and chat on the cosy teak deck, while enjoying the view over the water and the typical Dutch skies. From the safe cockpit, you can watch the sailing at close quarters and even give the crew a hand.

Cosy lounging in the cosy saloon

Below deck, the recently renovated lounge-style saloon exudes a relaxed atmosphere. The sturdy wooden elements, plenty of daylight, fresh colours and the cooking island in the spacious well-equipped kitchen offer a cosy stay, where you can relax with your company and chat until the late hours.

History Loungecharter Avontuur

The clipper Avontuur was built in 1911 as a sailing cargo ship by the firm Boot in Leiden. The fast clipper transported beets and potatoes from Friesland to South Holland. In 1980, she was converted into a charter vessel and with her 350 m2 sail area, the slender ship manages to achieve high speeds.
