A highlight of many trips is seal spotting. De Vrijheid sails past sandbanks where groups of seals rest and swim. With a bit of luck, you may also see porpoises or unique bird species that call the Wadden Sea their home. Thanks to the spacious deck, cozy lounge, and friendly crew, it’s a relaxing outing for young and old. In less favorable weather, you can stay inside with panoramic views, while the captain shares fascinating stories about Texel, its nature, and its fishing heritage.

De Vrijheid is perfect for families, groups of friends, company outings, and school trips. Special arrangements are possible, such as shrimp fishing, sunset cruises, or private tours with drinks on board. For children, it’s an adventure—they may even get to help with fishing or steering. The mix of relaxation, education, and hands-on experience makes a cruise with De Vrijheid unforgettable. It’s not just a boat trip but an authentic introduction to the Wadden Sea and everything that makes Texel unique. A voyage with De Vrijheid is truly a must-do when visiting the island.
