When should I hire a boat in The Netherlands?

The Netherlands may not be the warmest country in Europe, but the temperatures are surprisingly high every summer. In order to make the most of your Dutch boating holiday, we recommend visiting between June and September. During this period, there is little precipitation and there are many events and festivals organised throughout the country.

What to do in The Netherlands?

There are so many fantastic sailing destinations in the Netherlands that it can sometimes be hard to choose. We have compiled a list of some of our favourites.

Friesland

Friesland is probably the most famous sailing destination in the Netherlands, and for good reason. With an endless number of canals and waterways as well as lakes, almost every place can be reached by boat, and sailing is firmly anchored in the history of the province. The West Frisian islands are also part of Friesland, the most popular of which are Texel, Terschelling and Ameland. They can all be visited with a boat rental in the Wadden Sea!

Zeeland

The Zeeland region is located in the south of the Netherlands, on the Belgian border, and consists of many peninsulas surrounded by fjord-like inlets. In cities like Rotterdam or The Hague, you can get on board a boat and explore Zeeland. The endless sandy beaches near Renesse or Domburg are particularly beautiful, but fishing villages and towns like Middelburg or Veere also offer typical Dutch, cosy-rustic flair.

Groene Hart

Are you longing for green, unspoilt nature? Then the Groene Hart (the "Green Heart") of the Netherlands is perfect for you! Surrounded by cities such as The Hague, Rotterdam, Utrecht and Amsterdam, this is a fantastic destination for those who wish to be surrounded by nature. Many postcards which feature the typical Dutch canal were taken in the Groene Hart and even served as an inspiration for some of Van Gogh’s most famous paintings. Sit back, relax and enjoy your canal boat holiday in one of Europe’s most stunning regions!
