Wetterwille, that's what we call water fun in Southwest Friesland. On our Frisian lakes, experience the thrill of a tailwind on a sailing boat, sunbathing on an idyllic beach, cycling past waving reeds, fishing quietly or mooring your boat in a friendly harbour. The possibilities are endless. And what makes it even more special: all the Frisian lakes are connected to each other. Ideal for (longer) tours.

Sailing around Waterland van Friesland is enjoying the wind in your hair, the countryside and the friendly cities and villages where you can moor your boat. Either rent your own boat or hop on board a tour boat.

Time to get active on the water and get a workout at the same time. That's what windsurfing does for you on the Frisian lakes, as popular as ever before. Not windy today? Why not go supping, wake boarding or waterskiing instead?

“I've fished all over the world and it never dawned on me to go fishing with a fishing guide, but it's wonderful. The best fishing spot? That has to be Friesland.”

the MarBoei buoys anchoring points
Their numbers have grown each year and there are now more than one hundred: the MarBoei buoys of 'Marrekrite recreation' in the Frisian lakes. Most of the yellow and blue buoys can be found in Waterland van Friesland, and they always mark a very special spot in the middle of the water. Moor your boat at one of them to make it your own special place for a while. Away from all the hustle and bustle, surrounded by tranquillity and spaciousness. A source of inspiration that has been readily adopted by various poets.
