Rent a flat-bottomed boat on the Wadden Sea
In addition to motorboats and sloops, we also rent out flat-bottomed boats. From the marina, you can reach the Lauwersmeer in half an hour and the Wadden Sea in an hour and a half. From there, you can sail to Schiermonnikoog, Ameland, Terschelling, or choose to dry out on one of the sandbanks between the islands. Sailing experience is required for renting a flat-bottomed boat.
Flat-bottomed boat courses
If you’ve never sailed a flat-bottomed boat but would like to explore the Wadden Sea, experience tidal outings, and gain proficiency with a flat-bottomed boat, you’ve come to the right place. We have a team of experienced flat-bottomed boat skippers who are ready to assist you. We offer three courses that you can book alongside your vacation.
