The Y8122 Foundation maintains two unique tugboats: the steam tug Y8122 and the diesel tug Dombo. Thanks to a dedicated team of volunteers, these vessels have been fully restored and are ready to sail.
Experience a day on the water
Tugboat Dombo offers half-day or full-day trips. Half-day trips last four hours and sail towards Texel or the Wadden Sea. If you choose a full-day trip (6–8 hours), you decide the route together. There is room for a maximum of 12 passengers in addition to the crew.
Boat tour through the harbor and Marsdiep
During the summer season, Dombo offers a cruise two afternoons a week. Boarding begins at 1:00 PM at Flaneerkade. The tour lasts until 3:30 PM and passes the inner harbor, sea lock, and outer harbor. Sometimes, the Marsdiep canal is also included.
Safe and special for young and old
Life jackets are available on board. The trips are organized in collaboration with VVV Den Helder. Want to know more? View the full schedule on the website.
