You sail a luxury Primeur 615 boat with up to 8 people onto the open water and cross to the other side, without a boating licence. On a full day the crossing to Harderwijk is comfortably done. A half day costs €239, a full day €399, fuel included.
Can you rent a boat with us in Harderwijk?
You rent the boat with us at Elburg harbour, across the same Veluwemeer from Harderwijk. You can easily sail there. No licence needed, up to 8 people aboard.
We want to be honest about the location: the boat is moored in the harbour of Elburg, not in Harderwijk. We do not have a boarding point in Harderwijk itself. Harderwijk lies on the opposite shore of the Veluwemeer, within the same calm sailing area. So you depart from the old Hanseatic town of Elburg and sail across the open water towards the other shore. On a full day you have ample time to make the crossing and cruise along Harderwijk.
If you live in or around Harderwijk, Elburg is closer than you might think: about 25 kilometres, half an hour by car along the Veluwemeer. Parking at the harbour of Elburg is free, within walking distance of the boat. Why the small detour pays off? Our price is truly all-in: fuel, insurance and briefing are included, so no surprises when settling up. Life jackets are free on request. And in bad weather you rebook to another day free of charge. You sail the very same Veluwemeer, just from the quiet, historic side.
Elburg and Harderwijk both lie on the Veluwemeer, which together with the Drontermeer and the other Veluwerandmeren forms one continuous body of water between the Veluwe and Flevoland. So from Elburg you can sail freely towards Harderwijk, without locks or detours. It is a calm, sheltered lake: pleasant to sail, even if you do not have much experience yet. Along the way you enjoy wide views, nature, beaches and the shores on both sides.
Sailing from Elburg to the other side, you see the skyline of the Hanseatic town of Harderwijk rise from the water: the old fishing harbour, the boulevard with its terraces and the Dolfinarium by the lake. Around Harderwijk there are beaches and the Strandeiland, where you can anchor, swim and let the day unwind. You cruise past and enjoy the view of the town from the Veluwemeer, a very different perspective than from the shore. For this trip to Harderwijk and back we recommend a full day.
You sail a luxury Primeur 615 boat of 6.15 metres, with room for up to 8 people. The boat has a Suzuki 30 hp engine, high backrests for comfort, a canopy and bimini top for shelter, and a sun deck with swim platform at the rear. On board there is audio with Bluetooth, so you can bring your own music. The boat is maintained down to the smallest detail, you step onto a spotless boat. Comfortable enough to spend a full day on the water, including the crossing to Harderwijk.
You do not need a boating licence to rent this boat, provided you follow the briefing given at departure. You receive a clear explanation of the boat and the area, so you make the crossing to Harderwijk with confidence. On board are a fire extinguisher, 6 fenders and 6 lines; life jackets we put ready free on request. The hirer must be at least 21 years old. A question beforehand? Feel free to contact us.
A half day costs €239 and a full day €399. For the crossing to Harderwijk and back we recommend a full day, so you can moor and relax along the way. With both options fuel is included: 25 litres for a half day and 50 litres for a full day. Insurance, a short briefing and an anti-theft GPS are included too; life jackets are free on request. The deposit is €500 and is refunded within 20 hours after return. The pricing page shows everything at a glance.
On the way across you can moor at a beach, enjoy a swim off the swim platform, or cruise gently along the shores of the Veluwemeer. Where it is nice and how deep the water runs below you can check in advance on our interactive water map. There you find the routes, depths and mooring spots in the area, so you can plan your trip towards Harderwijk ahead.
