Gulet Charter in Monnickendam, Netherlands

Slow down aboard the Catharina van Mijdrecht Once aboard the Catharina van Mijdrecht you will find yourself in a different world. Time becomes a relative notion. Surrender yourself to the elements and feel the worries of the day drop away. No wonder so many people choose a sailing trip to get away from it all. Sailing on the IJsselmeer Being underway with family, friends or colleagues creates a special atmosphere. Sailing together is like a fresh breeze blowing through your relationships. New ideas find their way out and old obstacles can be overcome. A sailing trip is a great way to strengthen the ties of family and friendship. Unforgettable experience The Catharina van Mijdrecht is a beautiful, original Klipperaak, built in 1916. Guests can help to set sail and manoeuver -under expert guidance of course- and take the helm themselves. Besides that, there is also plenty of time for a relaxing chat with a bite and a drink. Who’s who Jos Rodewijk, skipper: Born and raised in the South Holland lake area, I developed a passion for the water at an early age, and by the time I was twelve I was sailing on my own. When the chance came along to turn my passion into my profession, I grasped it with both hands. Danny Honig, catering: Honig being a famous soup and pasta brand in the Netherlands, founded by my distant ancestors, the love of cooking was apparently already in my genes. My parents both sailed on the Holland America Line. And now I’m providing the catering aboard the Catharina. Go figure. Our passion On our ship, everything is about the guests’ experiences. Whether they are there for only a few hours or for a week, our goal is to let them have an experience they will be talking about for a long time. Young or old, passionate sailor or just there to relax everyone feels at home on the Catharina van Mijdrecht. Capacity The Catharina van Mijdrecht has a daytime capacity of 40 passengers, as well as 18 berths in 8 cabins.
