A sailing trip with the two-mast clipper 'Succes' is guaranteed to be everything the name suggests. Sailing with this luxurious ship is a true feast for every guest. From its home harbour, the Succes sails Lake IJssel and the Wadden Sea.

A mighty feeling at the helm

Characteristics such as its width and its huge sail area give this forty metres long ship a grand appearance. On the aft deck, near the helm, is the spacey cockpit. In this sheltered place you can relax and enjoy the trip, or have dinner. If you are brave enough, the skipper may allow you to take over the helm for a while. Just feel the mightiness of such a grand clipper!

Roomy deck saloon with mahogany interior

From the cockpit you enter the deck saloon, whose large windows allow you to enjoy a panoramic view. The interior is provided with many mahogany and brass details. The deck saloon contains a bar with a brass beer tap, a widescreen television, and a DVD/ CD/ MP3 player. As a result, even on colder or wet days it is comfortable and cosy inside. Further down you will find the roomy lower saloon, or cabin, where you can have meals, meetings or parties. Adjacent to this is the galley, with professional hotel equipment and a dishwasher. The on-board equipment also includes a washing machine and a dryer.

Staying the night on board the Succes

In the bow of the Succes there are twelve two-person cabins, each with two single beds. Every cabin has its own washbasin, shower and toilet, and 220 V power is available around the clock.

History

The ship was built at the Van Duijvendijk shipyard, one of the oldest shipyards in the Netherlands and the first shipyard with a side launch. Ships that are called the Rolls-Royces of sailing vessels, even today. In 1909 the two-mast clipper was launched as a sailing freighter called Dependent. After an impressive career from sailing freighter to motor freighter, in 1998 the ship was completely reconstructed into a luxurious and comfortable passenger ship, and the clipper set out to sail under the promising name of 'Succes'.
