Why not go up north in the Benelux and discover the beautiful region of Friesland?

Sailing in Friesland is in fact very popular due to the beautiful surroundings (that is why this called the watersports province of the Netherlands) and offers many possibilities for boat and nature lovers. You can hire a luxurious private yacht with lunch or diner and enjoy the picturesque surroundings as a daytrip. But you can also cruise for 1 week with a skipper? You prefer to be the captain yourself? No problem, you can sail these beautiful waterways yourself without a license . Suggestions? Sail the "Elf steden tocht" route (Eleven cities tour). It is a famous long-distance tour skating event of almost 200 kilometers long (in Winter) and a great cruise itinerary (in Summer) passing  some of the most cozy places in Friesland.
