Sailing routes in Haarlem

For 2-hour bookings we suggest to stay in town. You may take the perfect round-trip around the historic canals via ‘Leidsevaart’, ‘Nieuwegracht’, ‘Bakenessegracht’, ‘Het Spaarne’, ‘Gasthuisvest’ and ‘Raamsingel’ right back to your starting point.

Some good tips to extend this round-trip will be to continu sailing on ‘Het Spaarne’ to the lovely city of ‘Heemstede’, or take a double-left when entering ‘Het Spaarne’ from ‘Nieuwegracht’ to sail along the gorgeous ‘Statenbolwerk’ by following ‘Kloppersingel’ and ‘Schotersingel’. Please note, the boat will not fit under the railway bridge so you have to take the same route back to ‘Het Spaarne’ before continuing your trip.

Are you in for a longer trip? Then -especially with sunny weather- it will be extremely relaxing to float on ‘Mooie Nel’, where you can also take a dive if you’d like to cool-down. And, if you have booked a trip for more then 5 hours, you can even sail along the iconic ‘Rondje van Haarlem’, along the ‘Mooie Nel’ to ‘Cruquius’, ‘Molenplas’ and via ‘Zuider Buiten Spaarne’ back again.
