The Mars is a rugged yet cosy ship: the interior exudes a warm and authentic maritime atmosphere. On the upper deck is the atmospheric saloon with its cherry wood interior, offering direct views of the outdoors, and the galley with a bar and beer tap. Below deck are 13 cabins, accommodating up to 34 people for overnight stays or up to 51 people for day trips.

The ship is available to hire as group accommodation in Groningen from early November to mid-April. During this period, the ship is moored in one of Groningen’s most beautiful spots, amongst the old warehouses. During the sailing season (April to October), the ship is available to hire for a sailing trip to the Wadden Sea for groups of 20 to 34 people.
