This experience, in a nutshell

Imagine waking up surrounded by water, seabirds and endless sky.

Join us for a unique 7 day sailing journey through the wild beauty of the Dutch Wadden Sea aboard the world sailing catamaran.

Together we sail from island to island, following the rhythm of the wind and tides through one of Europe’s most extraordinary nature reserves and UNESCO World Heritage areas.

This is more than a sailing holiday.

It is an adventurous journey into nature, simplicity and presence. A chance to slow down, breathe deeper and reconnect with what truly matters while living aboard a beautiful sailing catamaran.

Days are filled with sailing, island walks, swimming, relaxing on deck and daily mindfulness and reflection sessions. The combination of sailing, nature and mindfulness creates a rare sense of freedom, calm and mental clarity.

The atmosphere on board is relaxed, personal and down to earth. There is space for meaningful conversations, quiet moments and shared experiences, without pressure or fixed expectations.

Whether you want to actively join the sailing or simply enjoy the journey from the deck, both are welcome.

No sailing experience needed.

Your crew

Deep has sailed the catamaran around the world and creates a safe and relaxed atmosphere on board.

Francisca combines years of mindfulness and meditation experience with a professional background as a lawyer. Her warm and practical approach helps guests slow down and reconnect during the journey.
