Zeehelden at the Wassenaar beach
We have been located on the beach at Wassenaar for 12 years now, where we are active on the beach and in the water during the summer months.
Our goal is to teach, practice and facilitate water sports on the North Sea. We are on a mission to introduce as many people as possible to water sports.
Multihull sailing
Feel the wind on your face, pull the sail and experience the acceleration of the multihull sailing boat. Hang loose in the trapeze, fly over the water and feel the rhythm of the sea. Ride the waves on a surfboard or a kayak. Learn about the ocean currents and the surf. It is all possible at Catamaran school Zeehelden at Wassenaarse Slag in Wassenaar!
We are the specialist in catamaran sailing at sea! Whether multihull sailing is still on your bucket list or you want to learn to sail independently, it’s all possible with us. Experienced instructors and coaches train complete beginners to sailing champions.
Youth sailing courses
Catamaranschool Zeehelden gives multihull sailing lessons for the youth. The lessons take place in series of six Sunday mornings. The courses are for every level: from beginner through advanced. Beginners will always sail with an instructor on board. The instructors all speak English and the instruction can take place in English (rigging the boat and especially on board of course). If the weather is unfavorable for sailing (too much or too little wind) there will be offered an alternative program such as surfing and bodyboarding and additional theory lessons. If all goes well the participants can obtain their Zeehelden sailing diploma.
Sailing camps
During the summer vacation Catamaranschool Zeehelden organizes multihull sailing camps for children up from the age of ten years old. There will be sailing and other cool water sports activities such as sit-on-top kayaking and surfing. Experience in (multihull) sailing is not a requirement. At the end of the camp week there will be awarded Zeehelden diplomas. But the main goal is to have fun in and on the water. The experienced Zeehelden instructors provide good en safe guidance.
Surfing
Zeehelden also organizes surf summer camps for children from the age of eight years old. During the surf camps there will be surfing, bodyboarding, stand up paddle boarding, sit-on-top kayaking and beach games.
