TESO has been operating the ferry service between Texel and the mainland since 1907. Texel ferry service was founded by the islanders themselves. Today the ownership is still in the hands of approximately 3100 citizens of Texel and other users of the ferry service. TESO is a non-profit-making organization, preferring to invest its revenue in safety, quality and continuity. We sail to serve our passengers.

We hope to see you soon!
