Welcome
May I introduce myself? I am Lucas H. Knol and recently became the proud owner of Tjalkjacht Pelikaan
In 2001 I set foot on a charter ship for the first time, And was immediately devoted to this way of sailing. Sailing has always been a hobby of mine, Sailing with guests has become a passion! After sailing the pelican for 7 years, 1 year as a mate and 6 years as a skipper, I made the decision on 17 October 2017 and took the step to take over the ship, It may take a while, but on January 3rd 2019 I was allowed to sign at the notary! Without my super Accountant and the mental help of family, friends and colleagues it would never have happened!
And now about the ship
