Renting a Motorboat in Friesland
Super Favorite Cruisers
Most of our motorboats are Super Favorite Cruisers. This type of boat was the first steel motor yacht built in the 1950s at the “De Watersport” shipyard in Voorschoten by D. Mulder.
From the outset, the Super Favorite became a resounding success among boaters. The version with an aft cabin, in particular, became incredibly popular. This motor yacht became known as the ideal family boat, and during the peak years of the “De Watersport” shipyard, demand almost exceeded supply
Renting a Sloep in Friesland
What could be better than spending a warm summer day on the water? Boating, swimming, picnicking, and enjoying the sun. At “Varen met Sil,” you can rent a classic sloep, sturdy vlet, or a charming boat for a day. Departing from the marina in Dokkumer Nieuwe Zijlen, you can easily access the Lauwersmeer.
Boating on the Lauwersmeer
The Lauwersmeer is a lake on the border between Friesland and Groningen. In the past, it was the Lauwerszee, and you used to pass through the sea lock at Dokkumer Nieuwe Zijlen. Now, you can find several uninhabited islands in the Lauwersmeer, which were formerly sandbanks. One of these islands is home to the sea eagle. On the Groningen side of the Lauwersmeer, you’ll find the village of Zoutkamp, a small town with a supermarket and several restaurants. If you fancy fresh fish, head to Lauwersoog and cross over the dike to the fish market. From here, you can also see Schiermonnikoog.
Boating to Dokkum or Kollum
Prefer not to venture onto the open water? You can also sail to Dokkum or Kollum. Through the Dokkumer Diep, you’ll navigate sheltered waters to Dokkum. Along the way, you’ll pass several bridges and can take a tour around the city. Kollum is also a charming place to visit by sloep. Within an hour, you can reach this town where you can enjoy a nice lunch or do some shopping.
