Windmills and Lakes Cruise from Katwijk

Escape the bustle and experience Holland’s Green Heart from the water on a relaxed windmills-and-lakes cruise across the Kaag Lakes. Board in Katwijk aan Zee and let yourself be carried through a unique landscape of water, islets, polders, nature, and historic windmills.

On this 2.5-hour cruise, you sail through one of the most characteristic boating areas in the Netherlands. The Kaag Lakes are known for their shallow waters, green banks, and quintessentially Dutch views. Along the way you’ll see restored polder windmills that still form part of the landscape and discover how water, wind, and land have come together here for centuries.

Take a seat indoors or, in fine weather, enjoy the outdoor deck as the rippling water, passing sailboats, and sweeping vistas create that perfect holiday feeling. This is Holland at its best: windmills, lakes, polders, and tranquility—all from the water.

A small menu with drinks and simple dishes is available on board for an additional charge. Ideal for a fun day out with family or friends, or as a relaxing outing during your stay on the coast.
