- Explore North-Holland and the ‘Wadden’ sea and have the unique experience of beaching on the sea bed at low tide
- Enjoy the wonderful sceneries that the ‘Wadden’ sea and North-Holland have to offer
- Enjoy in a sustainable way; heating is provided by the rest-heat from engine and generator, LED lighting etc.
- Eat biological, seasonal and regional food, free of any conservatives and other additions
- Wadexcursion at low tide
Naturally good: freshly baked rolls with real butter and home-made salad and a cup of delicious fair trade cappuccino
Bonding with our guests and making them comfortable fills us with joy.
Sustainability
- lighting is LED based
- the ship is well insulated
- toilets are flushed with river/sea water
- excess heat from main engine and generator are used to heat the boiler and rest of the ship
- showers are equipped with thermostatic faucets and water-saving shower heads
- most appliances are A+++ rated to optimize water and energy usage
- water is de-scaled, increasing the life expectancy of appliances and reducing the need for detergents
Enjoying natural food
Our love for nature is reflected in our kitchen. We cook with natural ingredients, preferably seasonal and locally sourced. We have banned harmful artificial colorants, taste enhancers and preservatives from our kitchen. We serve mainly biological and fair trade drinks. The chef loves good food and cooking and you can taste that. In short, ‘Josefien’ is the perfect place to enjoy natural food.
