Pieter van Aemstel
Pieter van Aemstel lies on the Rhine in Mainz-Kastel, where its hull forms a distinctive riverside landmark. The vessel measures 41 metres long. Its mast rises 28 metres above the water, making it especially visible from the Theodor-Heuss Bridge. A former herring boat, it once sailed the North Sea and reached Greenland.
About ten years after those fishing voyages, the ship became a restaurant vessel in Groningen, Netherlands. Mediterranean cuisine, around 200 seats and summer tables beside the river shape its planned next chapter. The renovation includes new interiors, an ice-cream stand, bicycle parking and a convertible upper-deck roof. That roof can open in summer and provide heating in winter.
