Boating
is a way of life in Holland, so come on board and discover the best way
to see this beautiful country! Make friends with the friendly Dutch
nation on the waterways, admire the traditional windmills that border
your cruising routes, head off on the waterside cycle routes or moor up
in smart new marinas where modern facilities are plentiful and good. The Friesland cruising region in North Holland glistens with hundreds of lakes and is perfect for watersports. Locks are left open throughout the summer and lift bridges become a great meeting point for fellow cruisers. |
| For a glimpse of a more traditional way of life, cruise to the
numerous villages such as Geithoorn, Elburg, Spakenburg or Muiden - and
see some of Holland’s best fishing villages. Cruise past fields of
tulips and slender 17th century townhouses to the cosmopolitan and
colourful capital of Amsterdam and visit amazing diamond polishing
factories, art galleries and museums for some serious culture. Or simply relax at a waterfront bar and watch the colourful world of Amsterdam stroll by. |

Further afield, the national passion for cycling
makes it easy to explore on two wheels, so make sure you hire boats
from your base to join in the fun! A network of pretty cycle routes snakes through the flat countryside enabling you to see this beautiful country for miles around. |
