The ship

Sailing cargo vessel De Tukker..

De Tukker is a sustainable sailing cargo ship with a rich history. Built in 1912, she was a Dutch sail training vessel and joined the EcoClipper fleet in 2022.

She carries 50-70 tonnes of cargo and operates on the North Sea and beyond. Accommodation is in a cosy cabin below deck accessed by a ladder, with a wooden table, bunk beds and manual pumps for the toilet (no shower yet).

The galley on the main deck welcomes travellers to join in for a coffee or meal. Join the crew for a unique, sustainable and memorable adventure!
