Together travel safely on the waterways - under this motto, the Dutch Ministry of Transport and Water produced five films, which show very clearly the coexistence of commercial vessels and recreational craft (motor boats, house boats, sailboats, ...) on the Dutch waterways. We are very sorry, but the movies are only in German and Dutch language.
It is less about traffic rules, but rather the practical and safe travel by boat. Each film has its own focus and takes 2.5 to 6 minutes. They are very well suited as preparation for boating holidays in Holland.
Note: Most pictures were taken on large, wide canals and rivers with extensive professional journey. But the sailing area here in Friesland for our motor yachts presents itself differently.
The routes, which we publish on our website that usually involve only small short sections on which even commercial vessels is underway (eg Prinses Margriet canal). In addition to the tranquility of our suggested trips, this is another advantage of the smaller waterways.
