STOREBÆLT

Sturdy, spacious, atmospheric

32-36 persons multi-day trips 50 persons day trip

The Storebaelt, built in 1928, is a former seagoing vessel with a lot of comfort and a rich history. For example the ship took part in the invasion of Normandy. Sailing with the Storebaelt means getting down to business. Hoisting and operating 420 m2 of sail requires many hands. So you can actively participate in sailing. If you prefer to take it easy, no problem, in every group there are generally enough people who help enthusiastically.



On deck 
The Storebaelt has a lot of deck space and seating. From the sitting area on the campaign deck you always have a wide view. There are picnic tables on the middle deck. From the deck you enter the bar or the ground floor lounge. The Storebaelt is a wide seaworthy vessel. The width ensures, in addition to a lot of space, good stability. So you don't have to worry about seasickness.

Interior

At the back of the ship is the salon with a cozy round seat. A large painting is applied to the back wall. The salon borders the well-equipped, open kitchen. On deck is the bar where you imagine yourself in the old wheelhouse. Here you can enjoy a drink -out of the wind- and at the same time experience the sailing.

Cabins

 Below deck are the cabins. All cabins have central heating and running water. The beds are covered with a sheet and a pillowcase. So you have to bring your own sleeping bag. For €18 you can also rent a duvet. (You have to indicate this in advance.) In total, the ship has thirteen cabins. ten 2-person cabins and three 4-person cabins. 4 cabins have double beds. In total there are 36 sleeping places in 32 beds!

Sanitary

Below deck are also the sanitary facilities. The Storebaelt has four showers and three toilets.

History

The Storebaelt was launched in 1929 as "Drittura". This type of ship; the Groninger coaster, sailed to Scandinavia and England. These "Groninger Potjes" were also called "little grey Devils" by the English because of their competitive position. The ship has a rich history. For example, the Drittura was registered with the Netherlands Shipping & Trading Committee in London on 16 May 1940 and took part in operation 'Neptune' (Invasion of Normandy). On 1 June 1945 it returned to the owner. The ship sailed in coastal shipping until 1969.
