The ships
Fantastiko
Sailing ship ”Fantastiko” is a beautiful 26-meter long two-master ketch. It is perfectly suited for (sea) sailing expeditions!
The vessel was built at a specialized shipyard, Chinook in Haarlem, the Netherlands. The construction, from 2002 till 2012, was carried out as a Youth Care project of the province of North-Holland. Two hundred youngsters build the ship together with dozens of experts. The Fantastiko received a Register Holland quality label. The fully equipped ship offers room for 16 persons.
