Rechtvaardig
A beautiful saloon steamer
max. 12 passengers - Book here
The ‘Rechtvaardig’ (this means ‘righteous’) was built around 1900 as a saloon steamer for a wealthy family in Alkmaar. The original cabin has been taken down and the ship is now completely open. The classic appearance attracts many onlookers on the waterways of Leiden. After a thorough restoration this ship offers plenty of comfort and boating pleasure for private trips with small groups of up to twelve persons. This creamy-white shippy is also very suitable as a ‘private wedding boat’.

Aanwinst
An antique tugboat from 1912
max. 22 passengers - Book here
The ‘Aanwinst’ (meaning the ‘Acquisition/Addition’) was built over a century ago as a tugboat. This workhorse had to withstand some forces and you can still see the thick riveted steel plates the ship was built with. Over time this old tugboat was modernised to a stylish touring ship with an open top and a new diesel engine. A handsome brass ‘Leiden’s Lion’ on the helm guards the old ship.

Nondeju
An old lifeboat
max. 24 passengers - Book here
The ‘Nondeju’ (slang Dutch version of French ‘Nom de Dieu’) is a polyester lifeboat identical to the ‘Sodeju’. In 2011, we accidentally found her on a shipyard in a deplorable state. After some research we discovered that the ‘Nondeju’ was also built in the sixties at the shipyard of Mulder&Rijke, in the same batch as the ‘Sodeju’, which we already had in our fleet. We took on the challenge to completely refurbish this lifeboat with the help of our technical volunteers.

Cocosmacroon
A Friesian ‘skûtsje’ on Leiden’s waterways
max. 30 passengers - Book here
In addition to being a name for a cookie, Cocosmacroon is also Leiden slang for a ‘weirdo’. Together with the ‘Wattanjûh’, the Cocosmacroon was inspired by the Friesian skûtsje, an old ship model that fits the image of the historical city centre of Leiden. A skûtsje (Friesian for small ship or ‘shippy’) is a collective term for the flatboats that served in the early twentieth century as cargo boats on the inland waterways. The design of both shippies was commissioned by our shipping company to a Friesian ship designer.
