Sailing from Harlingen

The Grote Beer is a luxury three-mast clipper. From the home port of Harlingen the ship sails across the Wadden Sea, the IJsselmeer and the Frisian Randmeer. On deck there is a large seating area on which there is a safe and sheltered place for groups and children.

The interior radiates a cozy and authentic atmosphere. In addition to the spacious day room on board, the Grote Beer has a separate seating area with a bar. The most delicious meals can be prepared in the extensive kitchen. 

About the Grote Beer

De Grote Beer was built in 1911 with the name 'Ambulant' at the Geleijns shipyard in Roodevaart. The masts and sails have been removed in the meantime and the ship was extended to 41 meters. In 1994 the Grote Beer came into service as a three-masted sailing clipper. The ship attracts attention both on land and on the water. 

We warmly welcome everyone aboard the Grote Beer!
