The Artemis has been a loyal visitor to Ostend at anchor for two decades. The Artemis or Atlantis of the Bruinsma brothers are alternately present.
The Artemis - named after the goddess of the hunt - was built in Norway in 1926 as a whalboat and sailed in that capacity until the end of the 1940s, particularly in the northern and southern polar seas.
In the 1950s she was converted into a freighter and sailed between Asia and South America, until she was no longer competitive and was taken out of service.
In 2001, the Bruinsma brothers became the new owners, who thoroughly rebuilt her and, with a great love for detail, turned her back into an elegant sailing ship. The masts are squarely rigged, characteristic of a barque. The sight of the three-master on the high seas is unsurpassed. On the way to historic port cities or to one of the many nautical events, such as Ostend at Anchor.
Beloved voyages on the North Sea and the Baltic Sea
Robust and original, that is the look and feel of the Artemis. At the same time, the ship has a high level of comfort and luxury on board. Precisely this combination makes the ship unique and sought-after at international events and sea voyages. The bark has an attractive maritime saloon with bar and a hotel kitchen. Her voyages to the Scottish waters, the Baltic Sea and around the South Danish island archipelago are just a part of the capabitilities.
Welcome to the rich history of sailing. Welcome to the Artemis!
