Skipper Guide

Skipper Guide

We are looking for an enthusiastic skipper-guide on our prams.

In season, we provide daily departures through the canals and canals in Leeuwarden city centre via a timetable.

Function: together with a fellow skipper-guide, pilot the praam through the canals with people on board.

Your job is both sailing and guiding, taking turns with your colleague for the day.

Enrolment is open from 1 November 2026 to 15 February 2027. The practical training course begins in March 2027 and takes place every Tuesday morning. In principle, you will then be "ready to sail" in May and able to join our team of skipper-guides.

Availability: 2 half-days per week


What does the organisation offer the volunteer?

A friendly atmosphere alongside your 65 colleagues, who are all skipper-guides too.


What does the organisation ask of the volunteer?

Training, both practical and theoretical, is provided in-house.
