On the Vinkeveense Plassen
Boat hire:
The Vinkeveense Plassen is well known to everyone. But just as beautiful are the waters around the Vinkeveense Plassen with winding rivers, which are also much quieter on a summer’s day. From our campsite, you can sail to the Vinkeveense Plassen in 20 minutes via a beautiful nature route. Take a dip in the clearest swimming water in the Netherlands and enjoy your picnic lunch on one of the sandy beaches. Don’t have your own boat? No problem, in addition to SUPs, Buitenleven also rents out boats. Setting sail directly from your own camping spot, doesn’t that sound wonderful?
Boat rental prices:
Full day: €115, including petrol, route map and life jackets*
*Children’s life jackets are limited. We recommend that you bring your own suitable children’s life jacket.
Our aluminium boats are well equipped with comfortable cushions and can accommodate up to 5 people. You don’t need a boating licence because our boats are compact. After our detailed explanation, you’ll know exactly what to do and you’ll be ready to enjoy a wonderful day on the water.
SUP and kayak hire
From your camping spot, you can paddle to a beautiful piece of nature in just a few minutes, where you can find peace and quiet. If you are a more experienced water sports enthusiast, discover the longer SUP routes in our “back garden”. Paddling on the Gagel, you will especially enjoy the beautiful nature and tranquillity, far from civilisation where motorised boat traffic is not permitted. Would you like to extend the route? Then go for the 8 km long Bijleveld route and enjoy the water birds and colourful plants in the peat meadow area. A sporty and relaxing way to discover the most beautiful water spots in Vinkeveen. A challenging activity that will make you fit and happy!
Prices:
| Half day | € 27,50 |
| Full day | € 38,50 |
Please note that dogs are not allowed in the meadows and the routes are closed during the breeding season (15 March – 16 June).
