Our skippers and crew ensure that you, as a guest, want for nothing.

We’ll tell you about what there is to see along the routes: stories about peat, canals, canal diggers, shipbuilding, remarkable buildings and so on. Our team consists of volunteers from the Jatrie and Snikkevaart Foundations.

These foundations aim to keep the ships Jatrie and Dieverdoatsie in service and to preserve them as historical heritage for the Veenkoloniën of Drenthe and Groningen.
