Afternoon sailing trip
An activity to look forward to and to remember for a long time; a sailing trip with Egasail is a wonderful idea!
Sailing for part of the day
The salty smell of the sea, sunshine and a fresh breeze do us all good, and sailing is healthy exercise to boot. But what if you are really too busy to take the whole day off? Don’t worry; Egasail also organises sailing trips for just the afternoon. A couple of hours to really enjoy a good sail, and the rest of the day free to do all the other things you need to do!
Afternoon arrangements

Afternoon sailing trip; an example

We serve a late ship’s lunch at 15:00; we can also anchor at a quiet spot and have a sunny picnic ashore.

We arrive back in Monnickendam harbour around 17:00.
