“Super nice experience. Marco and Monique are very welcoming. Clear, calm explanation of the history of the water around Wemeldinge. He responds well to what designation he has on board. You can help but you don't have to. There was a lot of wind, the boat was very tilted, which made it even more exciting. Seals spotted.Auto-translated”

Join skipper Maarten for a five-and-a-half-hour sailing day from Amsterdam Zuid to De Kaag. After a short car ride and ferry crossing, help sail a 6.2-meter boat through Dutch polders, canals, bridges, and past windmills, houseboats, and a luxury yacht yard. Beginners are welcome.

“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…”
