Round trip Volendam - Flat-bottomed sailing trip to Marken

Experience the charm of the Markermeer during a unique cruise from Volendam! Step aboard a traditional flat-bottomed sailing boat and enjoy a relaxing cruise on the Markermeer (former IJsselmeer). From Volendam's cosy harbour, we raise the sails and sail at a leisurely pace towards picturesque Marken. On the way, enjoy the wide views, the rippling water and the characteristic skyline of the former island.

Although we do not moor in Marken, from the water you get a beautiful panorama of the village, the lighthouse and the green wooden houses that make it so unique. Ideal for great photos and a lovely moment of relaxation.

During this cruise, you will of course also get a beautiful view of the historic fishing village of Volendam - all from the water. Along the way, our skipper will tell you fun facts about the history of Volendam, Marken and sailing on a flat-bottomed boat.
