Book a unique night on the water!

Do you want to spend your next holiday on the water and enjoy the ultimate feeling of freedom? Then come and spend the night on one of our houseboats!

Then a sailing houseboat offers the perfect solution! From August 2021 you can stay with us on one of our beautiful, new and unique Houseboats. Our house boats both have a permanent berth on a completely newly constructed jetty from Marina 't Eiland! From these unique berths (outside the harbour) the house boats all have a wide view of more than 180 degrees over the beautiful lake, which is also called the 'Gardameer' of the Netherlands! And in the distance you look at the rolling hills of the beautiful nature reserve De Hoge Veluwe!

If you are in for a little more adventure or are looking for a unique private spot, our skippers will gladly sail the houseboat (at a reduced rate) for you to one of the most special spots within this beautiful area! A place where you can fully enjoy the feeling of wealth and exclusivity with your family, friends or romantically as a couple! In addition, depending on the duration of your stay, you can even enjoy several spots, with a new view every time! A unique experience that you will often remember!

If the weather does not allow you to sail to one of the special spots, we will of course discuss the possibilities with you and together we will see whether it is possible at another time during your stay.

Our new houseboats are built from highly durable materials and are fully insulated for both cold and heat. With us you can enjoy your well-deserved holiday, mini-break or weekend away in comfort all year round!
