Wadden Ferry De Vriendschap - Boat Trip

Step aboard De Vriendschap and experience the Wadden Sea like never before, from seal watching to island hopping to Vlieland!

What can you experience with Wadden Ferry De Vriendschap?

• Unique voyage across the Eierlandse Gat: De Vriendschap is the only passenger ship sailing in this special part of the Wadden Sea, between sandbanks, channels, and strong currents of the Eierlandse Gat.
• Mudflat excursions: During this trip, you literally go ashore and stand barefoot on the mudflats, an unforgettable experience that lets you feel the Wadden up close.
• Seal tour: Drift past sandbanks where seals rest and swim. These curious animals are familiar with the boat and often come quite close.
• Day trip to Vlieland: Cross over to the neighbouring island, rent a bike, and explore Vlieland at your own pace. At the end of the day, sail back relaxed.
• Island hopping with a single journey: Adventure awaits travelling from Texel to Vlieland, or the other way around. With or without your bike. Perfect for those who want to explore both islands.
