Welcome aboard the Jannes van Campen
Schoenerbrik Jannes van Campen, a sailing ship with 2 masts and impressive rigging, is moored in Hanseatic city of Kampen, a city that is inextricably linked to water thanks to its Hanseatic past. Jannes van Campen was originally built in 1936 as a fishing vessel and has served for years in national waters. During the war the ship was confiscated by the Germans and brought to Hanover. Towards the end of the war, the rightful owner brought the ship back in the middle of the night. The current owner bought it from an elderly couple who sailed to Portugal with it, now Kampen has been home to Jannes van Campen for almost 20 years.
Interior
A trip on board Jannes van Campen guarantees a great time on the water where relaxation and exercise are close together. Team building when it comes to real sailing, the fun starts as soon as you step on board. Below deck you will find a beautiful brown café that is completely decorated in style with wood that comes from one of the ships of the Holland-America line. Cozy and cozy but with enough space for everyone. The Captains Lounge also appeals to the imagination. With its lovely sofas you can really relax here and enjoy a well-deserved drink or snack. Or you plop down on deck in the lovely beanbags that make you forget everything for a while.
Wonderful day sailing on the Ketelmeer
With the atmosphere on board and Kampen as the backdrop, it is possible to make every group outing or wedding an unforgettable day or experience. For example, you can choose from a trip of 1 hour where the motor is sailed or a day trip where, with a favorable wind, the sails are hoisted. The options are wide and diverse.
The Jannes van Campen has the Ketelmeer as its sailing area. This randmeer was created in 1956 at the impoldering of East Flevoland. It is now a beautiful sailing area where many water birds come to rest and forage in large numbers.
Wedding location
In addition, the municipality of Kampen has designated Jannes van Campen as a wedding location. Many bridal couples said yes to each other in this great ambiance.
