The Owner of Zeepaard confided these words to the JFA shipyard :
“We began our world tour on July 1, 2009 in Malta, with no plan, no time schedule and no exact route. We would soon discover that this philosophy would make our trip great fun, but would also make the experience a very daring undertaking…I can now look back and reminisce about the best time of my life spent with my dear friends and family.”

Such great trip is a unique way to travel and discover the world:
“After our month in Cuba, we departed for The San Blas Islands – my absolute favourite destination. These islands are an Indian reserve in the state of Panama consisting of a stretch of coastline and some 30 islands, owned and occupied by the Kuna Yala Indians. Stepping on to these islands feels like walking into a National Geographic movie.”
