This amazing offer lets you sail away from Amsterdam in a private yacht. You will sail in a catamaran – which is just a fancy way of saying a yacht that has two hulls. You know the boats with the dual blade-shaped hulls underneath? It’s one of those. The dual bladed hulls make it easier to cut through choppy water with increased stability – and speed.
With this fun Amsterdam activity you will choose the day which you want to sail on. Unless the weather forbids it, you will then embark on a breathtaking tour of the waters of Markermeer. This great lake is in the north of Holland. It is one of the largest fresh water lakes in all of Europe… and it is almost entirely flat.
This area has a charming Dutch village to explore, encourages you to stop off and have a swim, and lets you get a hands-on experience of handling the boat. Hoist the sails and accompany the seasoned skipper as he tells you tales of maritime adventures galore.
This tour comes with a skipper who can tell you about the rich maritime legacy of the Dutch people. The Markermeer once played a crucial role in the prosperity of the Dutch sailors. Explore the area while you learn, browse a village, and even have a swim.
Sounds like the perfect day out.
