The 'Succes' is a very luxurious, traditional two-mast clipper that was built in 1909 and completely restored in 1998. The ship meets all the contemporary needs and demands for a safe, comfortable, and sociable stay on board.
Eveline en Wietse van Lingen are the proud owners of the 'Succes' since 2004.
The 'Succes' is one of the few ships that have a spacious on-deck seating area, or cockpit, which enables guests to sit directly near the steering wheel. The cockpit is perfectly sheltered by the deck saloon and offers comfort and safety for all guests.
Because of the cockpit’s design there is a lot of contact between crew and guests. Therefore, guests can easily discuss the sailing route and the manoeuvres with the crew and even steer the 40-metres long ship themselves!
In the evenings, the cockpit is perfectly suitable for enjoying a drink in the outside while talking about the exciting day.
From the cockpit, you have direct access to the spacious saloon in the hold. From the cosy seating areas you have a magnificent and dry view through the large windows on the open water. In this saloon, you will find a bar with a copper beer tap and, furthermore, television, radio, DVD, CD and mp3 player, to enhance the atmosphere.
The deck saloon and downstairs saloon are both decorated with red mahogany and lots of copper details: the ideal places to relax and enjoy the trip.
From the deck saloon it is only five steps down to the hold, where the second spacious saloon is situated. This saloon has 6 large tables and enough seating to enjoy a festive dinner with 24 people.
The 'Succes' has 12 identical, spacious two-person cabins that all have their own private shower and bathroom.
In each room you will find bunkbeds, a closet, and a sink.
When you arrive, the beds will be made and each guest will receive towels.
In the bathroom that is situated next to the cabin, you will find the toilet and a shower with a thermostatically controlled tap.
The cabins are all equipped with 220 Volt sockets that have power 24 h/day. Shaving, blow drying, and charging all kinds of equipment is thus always possible. Furthermore, there is central heating and warm/cold water from the tap.
