Boating holidays in Holland are a great way to enjoy the Dutch waterways. Whether you want to stay on Dutch boats going through the canals or fancy a sailing yacht in the lake, there is something for everyone.

The Netherlands is equipped with fantastic sailing areas and an extensive water network, the most popular of which are located in Friesland and North Holland. Chartering a boat in Holland can start from Friesland. Sail across the Friesian lakes and explore the province’s numerous rivers and canals from a different perspective.

One possible destination could be the city of Sneek, where every Saturday in August, the so-called “Sneekweek” starts. This week, everything revolves around sailing competitions in various categories that take place on the Sneekermeet.

Why not also explore IJssel River and Markermeer Lake and their beautiful harbor towns?

Since there are no significant currents on the IJsselmeer and there is enough space, a boat charter in Holland is always a good choice, especially in the summer months!
