FRISIAN
LAKES
The
Netherlands at
it's best
A romantic
landscape with large lakes connected by canals. Historic
villages with buildings going back to the 17e century. The area is unique in the world.
Nature in the Netherlands doesn't mean you're on a survival tour. Everywhere it's posible to
rent a boat, book a room, restaurant, sailing course etc.
Service and nature
The area is large enough to find rest, room and freedom.
Otherwise, by mooring at one of those historical villages with
their restaurants, terraces and harbours, service is
always nearby.
Largest rental
fleet of the world
In every village is a rental
companie with daysailers like the Valk class. The numbers of
sailingboats you'll see on a sunny day are only paralleled by
the organised large sailing events elsewhere in the world. At
the moment you can rent the Keus 22 class in Amsterdam and in
Balk (Friesland).
Shallow water
- no big boats
Dispite one canal (the Margrietkanaal) all the waterways
in Friesland are shallow and mostly used by
recreational craft. In most
areas
the 40 feet motorcruisers are the biggest boats you'll find.
