Service, quality and safety
The Holland Sail fleet consists of well-maintained, certified quality ships with experienced skippers who know every trick of the trade. For them, safety and maintenance are the highest priority. Together, we take every possible measure to continuously improve our service and quality.
Our Safety Strategy
At Holland Sail, we go beyond merely complying with regulations—we strive to be a leader in maritime safety. That’s why we follow an active and transparent safety strategy, which is an integral part of our cooperative. Skippers can only become members if their ships meet the highest standards and hold valid certifications.
Certifications
To set sail, all ships must hold various safety certificates. The main certificate is valid for five years. The mast and rigging certificate is valid for 2.5 years.
Both certifications are issued by the Dutch Human Environment and Transport Inspectorate (ILT) and are only renewed after a thorough inspection by a certified testing authority.
Going the Extra Mile
Where regulations end, Holland Sail goes the extra mile, with our safety strategy which includes more than just certificates and proof of insurance. It also requires crew qualifications, fire safety training, and first aid knowledge. We continuously invest in training, maintenance, and communication to ensure the highest level of safety.
When you sail with Holland Sail, you can do so with complete confidence.
