We are happy to introduce the Flying Dutchman of captain Klaas as an open sea two-masted topsail schooner which now belongs to the fleet of Islandhopping. Due to the considerably security- and navigation technique the Flying Dutchman owns the worldwide permit for sailing tours. Because of the sail size of 480 m² stages between islands can be managed with rigged sails- of course Captain Klaas welcomes the active help of his guests.

The Flying Dutchman was launched in 1903 as a herring lugger. The alteration took place during winter 2004: 10 double cabins with its own shower and toilet were included on board. The frontal saloon in the deckhouse can be used as a cosy dining area as well as a lounge. The cushioned benches offer enough space for the guests. At the stern one may sit next to the captain and might as well have a try at steering the 39m long ship.
