The ship, a Dutch tjalk, was built in 1896 and was then given the name Nieuwe-Zorg. This one has always kept it, except for five years. De Nieuwe-Zorg was originally built for freight shipping and has transported various types of goods such as peat, stones and wood. Around 1950 it was converted into a houseboat and in the 70s it got its current destination.

 

Do you want to sail with family, colleagues or friends? There are many possibilities for a nice trip on the IJsselmeer or the Wadden Sea. You really are away from it all. These tours can be booked with or without catering. For example, come sail for a weekend on the Nieuwe-Zorg and visit the beautiful towns around the IJsselmeer and also enjoy the cozy atmosphere on board in the evening. For longer trips it is also possible to visit the Wadden Islands.
 

As a sailing passenger ship, it makes guests think back to earlier times and offers the comfort of today. On board the Nieuwe-Zorg there is a cozy day room with a fully equipped kitchen with a catering gas stove and an oven. There is sleeping accommodation for 20 people in three four and four double cabins. Each cabin has a sink.
