The ship
The Nil Desperandum (don’t desperate, Lat.) is a stately 3-mast-schooner with more then 120 years of history. This clipper has been build in 1894 as an cargo-ship with only sails to transport multiple goods. She transported for example potatoes, peat and sugar. For a few years the Nil Desperandum has been converted to transport passengers from the early spring too late autumn for a relaxing and sporty Holliday.
Service
This ship s known for her comfort. You have enough headroom everywhere and the living area is very spacious. Inside you have a lot of daylight wich makes sure you can hold it out downstairs. The big kitchen has al the modern equipment you expect so our guest don’t have to worry about not enough space or possibilities.

Captain Jerke
“The past two years I have bin a deckhand on board the Nil Desperandum. I fell in love with this ship so much that I decided to try and buy the boat! But when you’re only 21 years old, it’s not an easy job, but I made it!
I’m very delighted and pleased to have you on board on this wonderful Clipper. Together with my crew we will do everything to give you an unforgettable experience.”

All ships that sail in the Corona-era are converted towards a special protocol of the branch organisation. So with us, you sail without any worries!
