What once began with courageous fishermen and villagers grew into the Royal Netherlands Lifeboat Society (KNRM). From the moment you enter, you are immediately immersed in this remarkable story. You experience local history and read how the Helderse beachcombers became the first rescuers. This is where your adventure begins, where you not only learn about the history but are also inspired by the courage and perseverance of the rescuers.<\/p>\n
Go on a rescue mission<\/strong><\/p>\n There is something for everyone to do at the museum. Children are allowed to touch almost everything, ensuring that even the youngest visitors have a great time. Step aboard the interactive navigation boat Solo and take the helm yourself, or experience what a force 10 gale feels like in the wind tunnel. The combination of beautiful ship models, historical instruments, and authentic black-and-white films makes the museum a wonderful experience for adults as well.<\/p>\n Boat tours<\/strong><\/p>\n Conclude your visit with a cruise on a real historic lifeboat through the beautiful inner harbor of Den Helder. The boat crew will tell you all about the sights you pass during the tour. The trip is extra fun for children, as they even get to steer the boat for a moment and earn their own skipper's diploma! The cruises take place from April to November. You can find the current sailing times on our website.<\/p>\n Make your day out complete with a combo ticket<\/strong><\/p>\n Want to discover even more?
