Experience for yourself the spectacle and excitement of a real sailing race. Determine the strategy, work together intensively and make sure you stay one step ahead of the competition. Sailing with Lemsteraken is pre-eminently a unique event to spoil and surprise your relations or personnel in a special way.

Would you like to have a meeting with colleagues and go on the water at the same time? For example, you can work quietly in the morning and in the afternoon relaxed sailing and further meetings on board. If desired, lunch can of course be served aboard the Lemsteraak, so you can experience the day in style on the water.

Everything is different on a boat. On board a ship, time quickly seems to lose its importance, and the horizon naturally sparks curiosity. It’s no longer about where you’re coming from, but mainly about where you want to go. What really matters is the moment itself. How is the wind? How is the water? And what can we do to make the most of it together?

The mysterious fortress island of Pampus has a special attraction for anyone who has seen or read about it, so a visit is definitely recommended. And when you sail there on an authentic Lemsteraak, the experience becomes completely unforgettable. Hoist the sails and set sail for Pampus!

A trip on a BBQ boat to Pampus Island is a unique combination of boating, relaxation, and enjoying each other’s company.

After your visit, you’ll sail back at a leisurely pace, taking a moment to savor the views and the cozy atmosphere on board.
Boating on the Markermeer
The Markermeer has existed since 1976, when the Houtrib Dike was completed. This dike divided the IJsselmeer into two parts. The southern part was named the Markermeer. The Markermeer is home to, among other things, the historic island of Pampus and the unique Marker Wadden nature reserve, an artificially created archipelago that provides ample habitat for birds and other animals.
The Markermeer is a diverse boating area with open water, sweeping views, and a rich history. You can explore the lake aboard our charming steamboat, the Succes. For those who prefer a more active way to get out on the water, there’s also the option to sail on our authentic Lemsteraak, the Simmer.
Boat tours on the Markermeer offer a unique way to experience this vast and tranquil water landscape. As you cruise leisurely across the lake, you’ll enjoy sweeping views, fresh air, and the ever-changing play of light on the water. During a boat tour, you’ll pass by special spots such as the fort island of Pampus. We can also dock in Volendam.
Whether you choose a comfortable cruise on a stylish saloon boat or a more active experience on a sailing ship, the Markermeer has something to offer everyone. It’s the ideal combination of relaxation, nature, and culture, right in the heart of the Netherlands.
