Sailing across the IJsselmeer, the Wadden Sea, or the Frisian lakes
This late-summer cruise takes you to one special destination within our sailing area: the vast IJsselmeer, the unique Wadden Sea, or the charming Frisian lakes.
Three completely different landscapes and sailing experiences await you! As you cruise along Friesland’s narrow waterways, you’ll enjoy stunning nature, picturesque villages, and unique mooring spots. The IJsselmeer offers plenty of open water for wonderful sailing and visits to charming towns. The Wadden Sea is one of the most beautiful nature reserves in the Netherlands: with strong currents, vast sandbanks, and seals to spot—anything is possible here!

Our experienced crew will be happy to teach you the basics, but you can also simply relax and enjoy the views and nature. This interactive sailing vacation is ideal for solo travelers, couples, or small groups looking for a unique and active vacation in their own country.
