Boating in NP Lauwersmeer
From wild waves to quiet ripples
Do you prefer fresh or salt? From Lauwersoog, you can do both. Brave the waves of the Wadden Sea or glide at your leisure along the Reitdiep, even all the way to Germany if you like. Stand at the helm yourself or let yourself be sailed on one of the numerous excursions.
Set sail
A variety of excursions start from the ports of Lauwersoog. Board a lifeboat and experience what G-forces are during a spectacular trip. Embark just before low tide and disembark on a drying sandbank for a walk on the mud flats. Take a cruise through the harbour in a former buoying vessel. Opt for a photo cruise past spots full of birds. Take the catamaran or water taxi to Schiermonnikoog. Or go big and take the ferry to this car-free Wadden Island. In 45 minutes you are on a hiking and cycling paradise where every season has its own charm.

At the helm yourself
At all sorts of places, you can rent boats for a self-directed cruise. Of course, your own boats are also welcome. There are several marinas on the Lauwersmeer. Use the recreational jetties as a home base for several day trips or moor briefly for a stopover ashore. A small trip on the Lauwersmeer is wonderful in itself, but you can also go big. From Lauwersmeer, you can sail to Leeuwarden and Groningen via a standing mast route. From there, you can go on to the Frisian lakes, the Oldambtmeer and even Germany. Are your boat and your sea legs fit? Then opt for the wide waters of the Wadden Sea.
