Description

Rederij de Vriendschap is a unique cruise company and ferry service in the Noordkop of Texel near the Cocksdorp. What makes us so special is that we do not work and sail from the port, but from our sturdy self-built jetties. We sail between Texel and Vlieland and we make unique seal tours in the Eierlandsche gat.

We sail regularly. Our area is special and of exceptional beauty, mighty vistas and at low tide on the sandbanks many seals resting and birds looking for food.

Seal tour in the most beautiful nature reserve in Europe

De Vriendschap is the only passenger ship to sail around in this unique part of the northern Wadden Sea. Thanks to the peace in the area and the high, steep sandbanks, large groups of seals like to crawl on the dry plates, to enjoy the sun and rest. They are familiar with the blue silhouette of De Vriendschap and the ship can approach the animals closely. Did you know that this area is the only place near Texel where really large groups of seals can still be seen? Do you want to be sure you see seals? Seal tour with 100% seal guarantee. The tour takes about 75 minutes. You can always contact the sailor for questions.

Please note: the day trips to Vlieland with the Vliehorst Express do not currently take place. It is not yet clear when these can start again. You can book the seal trip and one way.

Our ticket sales online via the website or at "De Noorman" and departure jetty are at Volharding nr 2a opposite the KNRM building, near beach pole 33 in De Cocksdorp. In October we depend on weather conditions whether we can sail.
