Things to keep in mind while boating in Giethoorn
We kindly ask you to navigate the waterways just as you would drive on the road with care and respect. Boats coming from the right have the right of way and the speed limit is 6 km/h. Our boats are sturdy but they are not bumper cars. Boating is easy as long as you stay calm and attentive. Keep a safe distance from other vessels, avoid unnecessary overtaking and stay alert near bridges or narrow passages. This way everyone can enjoy a safe and pleasant time on the water.
