Boating Holidays across the canals and rivers of Europe from Le Boat

Woudsend

Our new base in Woudsend is located in the beautiful Friesland cruising area of Holland, renowned for its lovely lakes, traditional villages and many windmills.

Woudsend in the heart of the beautiful Friesland cruising area of the Netherlands. Come and enjoy a leisurely cruise along the region’s vast network of pretty lakes and canals which have been popular with boating enthusiasts for centuries. A peaceful landscape of fields and woodlands, historical towns and friendly villages awaits you. Visit ancient forts and castles (staten and stinzen), as well as working windmills; Woudsend is the only town in the region to boast two distinctly different types of windmill, the wood sawing mill (De Jager – The Hunter) and the grain mill (Het Lam – The Lamb) - both of which are still operational today.
