Water sports: you at the helm

Water sports: you at the helm

Feel like a captain for a day

Whether with your own boat or with a rented (electric) sloop or motor yacht, De Alde Feanen is the perfect place if you want to take the helm yourself. Feel like a captain for a day and experience the peace and freedom of being on the water.

For a day trip or a few hours on the water, you can rent (electric) sloops. From a sloop you have beautiful views across the water and can reach places that are more secluded. If you rent an electric sloop, you can also follow the electric-only route. Prefer to deviate from a route? No problem — you are the captain of your own boat.

Renting motor yachts

In De Alde Feanen, you can rent motor yachts that do not require a boating license. A wonderful way to spend the night on the water. With this type of cruiser you can sail from one event to another, and from De Alde Feanen you can easily reach the Frisian capital, Leeuwarden.

Bird sanctuary areas

Check the signs to see whether it is allowed to go ashore. There are also rules on the water during winter. If you see a yellow buoy with a blue sticker saying “bird sanctuary area”, stay out of this zone. Migratory birds rest and feed here to regain their strength.
