Skipper Johannes Gramann

Johannes Gramann began his journey on the water at the age of 10. It was then that he first stood on the deck of a historic sailing ship, the salty breeze in his face and the sound of the waves in his ears. These first experiences shaped him and sparked an enthusiasm for the historic sailing ships of the so-called ‘brown fleet’.

In the years that followed, numerous trips only intensified his passion. The freedom of sailing and the challenges of the sea became part of his life. So, after graduating from high school, he signed on as a sailor on a charter ship. After two years of sailing, he decided to start an academic education. But the longing for the sea never left him.

Finally, he followed his heart, signed on as a sailor again and attended the seafaring school (Zeevaartschool) in Enkhuizen, where he deepened his knowledge and skills and became a certified skipper.

Today, he is the skipper of the Zorg met Vlijt, where he would like to share his passion for sailing with you, and show you the beauty of the vast sailing area in all its facets.
