The Experience

The work includes sanding, painting, rigging, plumbing, and other tasks to make the boat seaworthy. Whether it’s small details or more technical work, every hand will help bring the project to life. No experience needed—I’ll teach you everything! If you have boat maintenance skills, it’s a plus. Volunteers will live aboard, help with daily tasks, and enjoy the surroundings while being part of an exciting hands-on sailing project.

My stay in Almere was incredible, Thomas is super nice person, too nice for this world, my days working felt like nothing , because the boat is beautiful just like his owner. Positivity and kindness are the day a day feeling , Thomas friends that are always around are beautiful people, I could see beavers 🦫 swimming around beaver bar, that is close to Thomas house, because he is so cool that cool beavers move next to catch some vibe .my hours of work always respected, communication with thom always no problema and tasks just like the publication

I really enjoyed my time on the boat with Captain Thomas, as an experienced skipper and world Traveller he is a well of information for everything regarding ships and the boat. I spend my week helping him refit the boat and getting her the boat ready again. Thomas is very flexible in his work schedule and open to new ideas. The food is fully included and there is great care put into making it a mixed diet. You truly get a feeling for what its like to live onboard a ship and the nice/warm community around it. I look forward to coming back 🙌🏻
