Our boating areas
We offer two beautiful cruising areas: Brandenburg–Berlin and Friesland.
Brandenburg-Berlin
Begin your trip from our marina in Brandenburg an der Havel and enjoy a mix of unspoiled nature and vibrant cities like Potsdam and Berlin. With a motorboat from Yachtcharter De Drait, you can even cruise right through the heart of Berlin! Click here to learn more about routes and options in Brandenburg–Berlin.
Friesland
Prefer to explore the Dutch waterways? Choose to depart from Drachten or Woudsend. From Drachten, you can reach De Alde Feanen National Park within an hour and easily visit popular water sports towns like Grou, Akkrum, Sneek and Lemmer. Longer routes to destinations such as Groningen, Lauwersmeer National Park, Leeuwarden or across the IJsselmeer to Amsterdam are also possible. Read more about routes from Drachten here.
Woudsend is the perfect starting point for a holiday with family or friends. From here, you sail straight onto the Frisian Lakes or you can choose a longer journey to places like Weerribben National Park or Groningen. Read more about motorboat routes from Woudsend here.
Whether you’re a nature lover or a culture enthusiast — there’s something for everyone!
Our boats
At all three of our departure locations, you can choose from a wide range of boat types, including the Campi Houseboat, Bungalowboot (BunBo), Doerak, Safari Houseboat, Klompmaker Kotterjacht and De Drait motor yachts.
Planning to depart from Woudsend? Our boats there are suitable for 2 to 8 people. In Brandenburg an der Havel, boats are available for 2 to 12 people and in Drachten, you can rent boats for up to 14 people.
No Boating Experience? No Problem!
Never steered a boat before? No worries! Even without prior experience, you can rent a boat with us. A boating license is not required for our boats in either the Netherlands or Germany. We’re happy to offer you a skipper training session before departure, so you can start your boating adventure with confidence — whether in Friesland or Brandenburg.
