Summary
Become a volunteer at SailWise and go on a water sports holiday together with people with a physical or mental disability!
Detailed description
The wind in your hair, the sun on your face and the splashing water against the bow: at SailWise everyone can enjoy water sports. Unlimited! Since 1974, SailWise has been the only provider in the Netherlands of water sports holidays for people with a physical or mental disability. We do this from three locations in the Netherlands: the two-masted clipper Lutgerdina (Enkhuizen), water sports island Robinson Crusoe (Loosdrecht) and water sports center It Sailhûs, where our catamaran Beatrix is also moored (Elahuizen).
Groundbreaking
Taking on challenges, getting the best out of yourself and pushing boundaries... Sailing with SailWise is much more than just a fun time on the water. We help people with disabilities experience that they can handle much more physically and mentally than they think. At SailWise, wheelchair users can water ski, people with visual impairments can sail independently and people with multiple disabilities can steer a ship themselves. These activities contribute to the self-confidence and self-reliance of our guests. Research confirms that.
Volunteers are indispensable
The help of volunteers with our activities is indispensable! Every year, our permanent crew is assisted by almost 300 volunteers. One is a good sailor, the other has a healthcare background or wants to contribute to an inclusive society. Together with the participants, our volunteers ensure that everything runs smoothly during the water sports activities. They all contribute to an unforgettable time on the water for our guests.

Volunteer work is intensive, but very fun and it also gives you a lot of energy. Step out of your comfort zone, push your boundaries and experience a meaningful and fun time at SailWise! You contribute to the development of participants and you also get the opportunity to grow and enrich your CV!
