Inland areas with predictable conditions are sometimes only a few hours’ drive from challenging coastal regions that allow for true sea sailing. Therefore, the quality of a trip depends not only on the boat but above all, of which area suits your expectations, your crew, and your sailing style.
If you are a boater and own a vessel based in France, you may have already considered taking it to the Netherlands. But do you know what the options are for making the journey from one country to the other? In this article, Port Adhoc explores the different sailing routes from France to the Netherlands.
In Sweden, the Stockholm archipelago represents a vast playground for sailors in search of nature and discovery. Between the islands of the gulf, sheltered channels, and calm anchorages, the region offers recreational sailors a multitude of routes suitable for both short cruises and longer voyages.
Every year, numerous Dutch sailors head for the Baltic Sea and Sweden, either for the summer season or for longer periods. Why this new sailing area? Which route do they take? In Sweden, which marina do they choose for their boat? Paul, Hans, Éric, and Ralf… in this article, several Port Adhoc boaters who made the journey from the Netherlands to Sweden with their boats share their experiences.

A free horizon, sails full in the wind – and a cruising ground that leaves all possibilities open to you: welcome to the IJsselmeer! Those who cast off in Lelystad are not simply setting sail. They are embarking on one of the most diverse sailing areas in Europe.
In the English Channel, the Channel Islands offer numerous cruising opportunities and several stops highly appreciated by sailors. In this article, the Port Adhoc team presents the destination and how you too can explore it while sailing.
Have you chosen a berth or winter storage in Lelystad, the Netherlands? Then sooner or later, the question arises: how does your boat get there? Whether by water or by land, transferring a boat from Germany to Lelystad is entirely feasible, but it requires careful planning. Locks, bridges, clearance heights, radio requirements, trailer dimensions – all of this must be considered. And as so often, the rule applies here too: those who are well-prepared will arrive more relaxed.
Knowing your own boat is safely moored, always ready for a lovely weekend trip with family or friends, or for a spontaneous holiday – this is exactly the dream of many boat owners. Yet in Germany, this often remains wishful thinking: long waiting lists, high fees and overcrowded marinas make planning a test of patience and spoil the plans of many German sailors and motorboat owners.
Some boat owners understandably want everything available on site: plenty of space, solid expertise, extensive technical facilities and shipyard equipment. And that is exactly what Flevo Marina in Lelystad offers – a turnkey marina in the Netherlands that appeals to yacht owners thanks to its service and repair facilities.
