Zeeland, a unique sailing area
Whether you're on a cruise or a stopover, you'll enjoy Zeeland's beautiful beaches, historic villages, magnificent landscapes and unique nature. The ideal way to discover them is by boat! With a motorboat or sailboat, you'll also be able to sail on a variety of waterways:
- The Oosterschelde: a 350 km² inlet with fairly strong currents.
- The Veerse Meer: a smaller lake, historically made up of two former arms of the Oosterschelde, on which you'll find numerous small islands. Five of them are particularly hospitable to breeding birds!
- Lake Grevelingen, better known in the Netherlands as Grevelingenmeer: the largest saltwater lake in Western Europe, separating South Holland from Zeeland.
Among these destinations, we particularly like Lake Grevelingen, where you'll find a wide range of itineraries and activities. You can, for instance, explore the mudflats of Goeree-Overflakkee, watch the Fjord horses, enjoy the cool waters for a swim or taste the world-famous oysters and lobsters of Lake Grevelingen.
Whichever lake you choose to sail on in Zeeland, you're sure to discover some of the old fishing villages! Renesse, Zierikzee, Breskens, Vlissingen... there are many charming, picturesque places to discover during a stopover. We recommend a stopover in Bruinisse, a place steeped in history also known as "Bru". In the town center, you'll find numerous heritage features dating back to the 15th century, sure to give you a change of scenery. Bruinisse is also one of Zeeland's most popular watersports areas. Here, you can take advantage of excellent sailing conditions. In Jachthaven Bruinisse, for instance, the facilities and equipment of our partner Aquavitesse will give you the chance to try your hand at several activities. And you can share your passion for sailing and the marine world with other boaters on the WSV premises in Jachthaven Bruinisse.
