You are allowed to sail the boat without a license although it is preferred that you have some basic experience. The boat (6.5 meters long and 3m wide) provides 4 beds, a small kitchen with refrigerator, a two burner hob and heating for those cold mornings and evenings.

Our harbor is easy to reach by car. Coming from Utrecht turn off the A2 at Breukelen and carry on to the village after passing the train station. Take a left at the roundabout driving into the village then a further right at the AlbertHein (supermarket). Carry on into the village and take a right after crossing a small bridge. The road is a narrow street which leads you over a smaller bridge. Carry straight on at the crossroad for about 1.5 km. At the next junction turn left.

I live in the area with my family on a large houseboat. When our camper-boat is not rented out we love using it to get away. We are pleased to be able to share this experience with you.
