Sailing towards the horizon with others and enjoying everything that comes with a sailing trip on a traditional sailing ship: it is a dream that becomes reality for many people at the FrieseVloot. An adventure you will never forget. But of course, you want to experience such an adventure in a safe environment. That is why safety is always our top priority.
This starts even before you step on board. We are happy to help you prepare so that you know exactly what to expect. During your trip, you will sail with an expert crew who have the right knowledge and experience. Our skippers have completed all the necessary training and hold the required qualifications, including first aid certificates. So you can rest assured that you are in safe hands.
Although our ships have a rich history, they are maintained with great care and love. Every ship affiliated with the FrieseVloot meets all legal requirements. This means that you will be sailing on fully inspected sailing ships with valid certificates, such as the Certificate of Inspection (CVO) and the rigging inspection. These documents are always available for inspection on board. Would you prefer to receive them in advance? We will be happy to send them to you.
Not only our ships, but also our crews comply with all legal requirements. We believe it is important that you feel safe and secure, both on and around the ship. That is why we always go through the safety measures with you before departure. We explain how best to move around on deck, what emergency procedures are in place and where you can find safety equipment. We also discuss a number of practical matters on board, so that you can set sail with peace of mind.
If anything is unclear or you have any questions during your stay, please do not hesitate to ask. We are happy to help and want you to feel at ease.
With this careful approach, we want to ensure that you have a fantastic time on board – an adventure full of fun, wind in your hair and peace of mind. And all this in a safe environment, where you can enjoy every moment on the water without any worries.
