Sailing the Dutch Waterways
The Netherlands has more water per square kilometre than any other European country, and the Dutch have been sailing it for centuries. From the vast IJsselmeer to the intimate Frisian Lakes, Dutch sailing offers a unique experience of flat-water cruising, historic harbours, and world-class maritime heritage.
IJsselmeer
Once the treacherous Zuider Zee, the IJsselmeer is now a vast freshwater lake dotted with historic fishing villages. Sail between Enkhuizen, Hoorn, and Medemblik – towns frozen in their 17th-century Maritime Golden Age – or cross to Friesland.
Frisian Lakes
The interconnected Frisian lake system is the heart of Dutch sailing. Traditional flatbottom boats (skutsjes) have raced here for over a century. Modern charter yachts share these waters, passing through historic lock systems and alongside reed-lined shores.
