A Proud Clipper
The Rea-Klif (1894) is a proud clipper that breathes history while offering modern comfort. With her characteristic lines, she is an impressive sight on the IJsselmeer and the Wadden Sea. Skipper Jurgen Boonen combines his passion for sailing with a ship that is maintained with exceptional care. Thanks to the subtle integration of modern technology, the authentic sailing experience remains untouched, while creating plenty of space and time for the warm hospitality on board.
The saloon radiates a nautical atmosphere, and through the large windows you can feel the connection with the water, the waves, and the wind even from inside. The Rea-Klif is not just a sailing ship; it is a floating hotel where adventure and tranquillity come together.
A Passion for the Water
“For me, sailing is more than just a profession; it is a way of life. For many years, I have been fascinated by the currents of the Wadden Sea and the ever-changing character of the IJsselmeer. There is nothing more beautiful than turning off the engine, hoisting the sails, and feeling the wind take control of the Rea-Klif. That sense of peace, combined with the power of nature, is something I want to share with my guests on every journey.”
A Personal Experience
“I believe in sustainable tourism and personal attention. No journey is ever the same, because nature and every group of guests are always different. I love taking guests to the most beautiful tidal flats in the Wadden Sea or to the most picturesque harbours of the Frisian lakes and the IJsselmeer. On board the Rea-Klif, you are not just a tourist, but for a little while part of the crew and connected with nature.”
