Sailing with the Orion
Experience the joy of sailing and wind, water, air and peace. Aboard the sturdy sea-tjalk Orion, built in 1892, you can enjoy traditional sailing combined with modern comfort. Our home port is the old inner harbour of Monnickendam. Monnickendam is situated only ten miles to the north of Amsterdam; from here we sail across the IJsselmeer.
