Experience spring in the Netherlands on the water. Your neighbouring country is within easy reach and yet a little holiday abroad and a different culture awaits you. Maybe you’ll take a piece of Dutch serenity home with you…
Your journey starts in the Frisian town of Stavoren. From this bustling port town, we set sail for the most beautiful areas in the north of our country. Just blow through and become one with the elements!
If the weather cooperates, it will be an Easter egg hunt on a Wadden Island. … Discover the natural beauty of the Wadden Sea and the West Frisian islands from the water. While the tide slowly fills the mudflats, the seals take a quick sunbath and various migratory birds fill their bellies so that they can hold out until the next low tide. In between, we glide slowly, almost silently under sail and enjoy the view of islands as they used to be – untouched nature, a small village, some agriculture and a harbour – no sign of large hotel castles!
But a round IJsselmeer or Frisian canals are also among the possibilities. Since 1932, the Afsluitdijk has protected our country from sometimes unpredictable storm surges. The former Zuiderzee has now become a true sailing paradise and you can easily sail far inland via numerous canals. Here, you can not only enjoy relaxed sailing but also explore various sailing routes. Along the coast, you’ll find picturesque historic harbor towns such as Enkhuizen, Hoorn, and Urk. These towns are not only charming but also offer the opportunity to go ashore and discover local sights during your sailing adventure.
