Friesland has been a well known holiday destination for years now. Because of the many lakes, canals and the cozy cities and villages near the water and the many activities, Friesland is inviting itself to be discovered by boat. Now when spring comes and nature is awakening from its hibernation, that is the moment when watersporters get Goosebumps to get onto the water again. On Friday the 3rd of March the watersport season already starts at Yacht Charter De Drait in Drachten and Woudsend.
At both locations, our Cutter- and motoryachts are already prepared for take off and invitingly await for the first watersports enthusiast in Friesland. Sailing in spring is becoming more and more popular among both domestic and international tourists. From our both departure locations in Friesland, several well-known watersports places are easy to reach by boat and due to the continuous bridge operations in the Province of Friesland, many sailing routes are navigable the whole year.
