We are Mariëlle and Jan-Willem, and we would love to take you on a journey to experience the unspoiled wilderness and breathtaking beauty of Scotland! Sailing is our passion, and we love sharing it with you.
What do we offer? A relaxed sailing trip with great food in the stunning sailing area of Scotland's West Coast & Hebrides!
Never sailed before? No problem — you’ll be in professional hands. We've been sailing together since 1994, and all those years have been built on solid teamwork. During your holiday, you’ll become part of that team, because sailing together is a lot of fun! On top of countless sea miles, we both hold Sailing Navigation diplomas and the Basic Safety certificate from the maritime academy in Enkhuizen.
We bought the Steady in 2010 and since 2015 we’ve been sailing her in Scotland. 'A dream come true!' We've discovered so many special places here :)
Once you’ve experienced the unspoiled nature, rich wildlife and breathtaking hiking trails, you’ll definitely understand our passion for Scotland!
A large part of our lives takes place on board. Steady is both our work and our home all year round. Besides sailing, we love bushcrafting, hiking, running and cooking. We’re also enthusiastic practitioners of the Wim Hof Method and take a refreshing dip next to the ship every morning. Will you join us?
On our 10-day sailing & hiking trips we make longer day hikes (avg. 15–20 km with elevation), followed by a relaxed sailing day to the next island.
We believe the best vacations leave you happy, recharged, and full of energy. And all the ingredients are here:
A green, water-rich environment is truly healing for body and mind! We’d love to welcome you aboard to experience it with us. Our trips are open to solo travellers, couples and groups (max. 8 people). Check our sailing schedule to find the trip that suits you best, or contact us for info and bookings.
