Randmeren, Eem and Flevoland marinas

The Randmeren are the narrow, sheltered lakes between Flevoland and the old mainland, from the Gooimeer by Muiden to the Ketelmeer by Kampen.

Gooimeer, Eemmeer, Nijkerkernauw, Nuldernauw, Wolderwijd, Veluwemeer, Drontermeer and Vossemeer string together into a waterway of some seventy kilometres. The water is shallow and clear, with buoyed channels, sandy beaches and small islands where you can moor or anchor; outside the channel you touch bottom quickly. At Harderwijk you pass under the aqueduct. The Eem takes you to Amersfoort, the Hoge and Lage Vaart through the Flevopolder to Dronten and Biddinghuizen, and the Ketelmeer leads on to the IJssel and the IJsselmeer.

Ashore are the Hanseatic towns of Harderwijk and Elburg, the fishing village of Spakenburg with its traditional botters, and Huizen, Nijkerk and Zeewolde with large modern marinas. The Randmeren are the area for families who want to swim and sail on the same day, for sloops and small sailing boats, and for anyone from Utrecht or Gelderland looking for the nearest open water.
