Having fun on the water with your relations or your team? Renting a boat with skipper is NOT necessary. Our sloops can be sailed by yourself with some sailing experience.
You will depart from our harbour in Heeg and sail a scenic route through the Frisian lake district.
Have lunch on a nice terrace or bring your own lunch and have a nice picnic on an island. Our sloops are equipped with a fridge or you can optionally hire a cool box to store your lunch.
We have a sample of fun routes below. Sloop hire with your own skipper!
During this route, you will pass 2 of the 11 Frisian ‘Fountains’.
From Heeg, we sail via a scenic route to Elfstedenstad and Houtstad IJlst. In IJlst, we find the fountain Immortal Flowers.
Also, in IJlst, or Drylts as we say in Friesland, we can enjoy the well-known characteristic overtuinen.
A visit to museum and workshop Houststad IJlst is definitely worthwhile.
From IJlst, the skipper then sails us to Sneek in search of the unusual fountain. A golden sphere in the middle of the water topped by a man holding a Horn of Plenty. Sneek is also well worth a visit to an outdoor café or possibly one of the city's museums.
After visiting Sneek, you will sail back to Heeg via a scenic route, where you will moor at a waterside terrace for a delicious dinner.
Your own skipper will sail via Woudsend, with its 3 windmills, across the Slotermeer to the smallest eleven-city town of Sloten. Here you can take a nice city walk and visit the Sloten museum. Via a beautiful route, you sail back to Heeg in your rented sloop, where dinner or bbq can be enjoyed on a terrace.
On this trip, you sail to the water sports village of Woudsend . Here you can hike a beautiful elfin trail. Wander no less than 2.5 kilometres through the alleys of Woudsend. Each alley has its own story.
Or visit the farmers’ market on Thursdays in the summer months. And how about the Korenmolen 't Lam and Houtzaagmolen de Jager? After visiting Woudsend, your own skipper will sail back to Heeg via a scenic route.
