More information

Sailing on a real lifeboat and discover Den Helder harbor from the water! During this unique 30-minute cruise, you'll board the historic beach lifeboat Johan de Witt, a sailing icon from 1941. This sturdy steel boat once saved dozens of lives on the wild North Sea, and now, thanks to a group of enthusiastic volunteers, it sails through Den Helder's charming inner harbor.

As you cruise comfortably over the water, the skipper will tell fascinating stories about the rescue history of this heroic boat, which was active around Schiermonnikoog and Scheveningen between 1941 and 1960.

The cruise is part of the National Dorus Rijkers Lifeboat Museum, a museum that has been a household name in the region for 40 years. Ready for a piece of living history on the water? Then come aboard!
