Hi we are Jurgen (Austrian) and Jolien (Dutch) For the past 5 years we have been working on our wooden ship from 1958. She has been converted from a fishing vessel to a pleasure craft. We put our heart in this non profit project and are now looking for people who can stay on her and maintain. You will sleep in one of the berths just under the water line. Make food in our nice fully renovated kitchen or take a shower on board in the bathroom. We even have a sauna on board. What we need is trust worthy people who understand that they are living on a wooden ship and that being careful with fire and electricity is the way of living. She has all the basic comfort you can wish for but also is an old lady and deserves some love. She needs to be heated everyday and there are always some (small) jobs lying around. The ship is in a Harbor in Zeeland the south of the Netherlands. To go to the closest supermarket is 10 minutes with the bike. Further the biggest cities around are Goes and Middelburg. If you love the ocean this is the place for you to be because she will be right at the beach! Take a stroll with sunset on the beach and find some beautiful shells. Or look at the water and you might spot a seal. For us it is important that the care takers (oppassers) can be on board from 8 November until end of February/March. It is nice to be here as a couple or if you love the quiet winter days alone is also an option.
