Renting a Boat in Friesland
Don't have your own SUP or canoe? No problem! In Friesland, you can rent boats at various locations.

Duration of the Boating Route
This route is a total of 7.6 kilometers long. As a beginner on a SUP, you'll paddle at about 3 kilometers per hour, so it will take you almost 2.5 hours.

Bridges in Friesland
On this route, you'll encounter several bridges. With a SUP or canoe, you can navigate almost anywhere. If there's an issue with a bridge or culvert, you can step off and walk. If you want to take the route with a boat, such as a sloop, check the information about bridges in the Watersport App of the Provinsje Fryslân!

Clean Sailing!
Naturally, never dispose of waste in nature. If you come across litter on the water, take it on your board or in the canoe. Nature will thank you!
