Participating in water sports in Friesland is marvellous enjoyment. The largest united water area of inland lakes in Europe awaits you. From the water you will enjoy beautiful villages with characteristic – and hospitable Frisians. You can tie up in the open air at the unique piers of the Marrekrite or make use of the numerous marinas with first-class facilities. The best spots and many sights can be reached by boat easily. Friesland means: being active in beautiful natural surroundings and enjoying many historical sites.
Water sports in Friesland take place in the beautiful Frisian entourage.
From April until November Friesland welcomes water lovers en those who want to enjoy all that the Provence is famous for:
Being active on and around the water to leave behind everyday life
Becoming one with nature and allowing the wind to decide our course. Making plans is not necessary, relaxing however is.
‘Gezelligheid’ (Cosiness) in villages where it seems that time stood still for a while and ofcourse drinking Beerenburg (alcoholic beverage of Friesland) in a café or out on a terrace.
Nautic events such as the typical Frisian Skûtsjesilen, the Sneekweek and other sights. Enjoying…relaxing…no obligations, but so many opportunities!
Modern water sport provisions in marinas with repair – and maintenance services
You like tranquillity; Friesland has it any season. During the summer months Friesland busses with activity, the marinas and peers of the Marrekrite are full of visitors but still enjoyable. It never gets to crowded in Friesland.
In for some action; Friesland is the right place to be.
Active Friesland!!
Friesland is the water sports ‘Mecca’ of Europe. Many visit Friesland to sail in open sailing-boats, cabin sailing-boats, flat-bottoms or discover the canals and lakes per motorboat or sloop.
Canoeing is an activity often undertaken on the narrow fairways. The Frisian lake district is not only extensive but also varied. Lakes are connected with another by canals. The advantage of this is that the crowdedness is spread and there is enough space for varied and active water sports. The Frisian inland lakes have a good connection with the Ijsselmeer and the Wadden Sea whereby you can conveniently get around with larger ships. It’s not necessary to sail yourself when you would like to tour Friesland by boat. With a charter ship you can enjoy Friesland from the water while someone else steers the ship in the right course.
(On the water) for all ages!
Friesland has something on offer for everyone. Seniors mainly visit for the peace and space, the youth can go sailing or party in one of the many discotheques and clubs.
Little ones can take sailing lessons, enjoy themselves on the playgrounds or have fun with attractions on the waterside.
Families can go on an unforgettable journey along Frisian villages and cities.
