The Netherlands · SAILING
The good sailing tours fill up first and the best ones fill up earliest. Below: the 3 to book ahead, what each includes and how they differ.
3-hour sailing trip from Vlissingen on the Westerschelde estuary, aboard Beneteau Oceanis 46 Forever, with big-ship views and Walcheren beaches.
Sail a small 6.2 m boat near Amsterdam, cross the Dutch shortest ferry, open bridges, and learn to steer through polders and canals.
“This was a great day of learning the ins and outs of sailing in the Netherlands with my awesome skipper, Maarten. We sailed across lakes and through a canal with bridges we opened along the way. What an amazing experience and skipper Maarten is an incredible sailor who has a vast resume skippering all kinds of sailboats. Masrten is a brilliant man and our conversations were filled with interesting anecdotes of his experiences. He is also a kind and effective teacher. I am an experienced sailor I was amazed by how much I learned from him, but with his skills people with no sailing experience will have a great time…”
3-hour Oosterschelde sailing trip from Wemeldinge with a professional skipper, small group up to 8, sailing gear, and two free drinks.
“We loved our sailing trip! Marco and his wife were great hosts. He gave us lots of historical context about Wemeldinge and thorough instructions for those that wanted to muck in and help. A wonderful experience that we all loved!”
Every kind of Dutch day out, and the best-reviewed way to book each.
