A brand-new first edition from the Royal Cruising Club Pilotage Foundation, expanding on Brian Navin’s much-loved guide, long considered the definitive reference for cruising the Netherlands via fixed-mast routes.
This updated guide offers detailed pilotage and an authoritative overview of both coastal ports and the mast-up routes through the heart of the Netherlands. Coverage extends from Nieuwpoort in Belgium, through the Rhine–Maas–Schelde Delta, along the Dutch coastline and into the exceptional cruising waters of the Waddenzee, right up to the German border. An expertly selected range of inland routes is also included, covering rivers and canals in North and South Holland, Friesland, and Groningen. The volume is completed by comprehensive coverage of the IJsselmeer, Markermeer, and Randmeren, including their marinas, ports, and waterways.
Authors Kieran Flatt and Hilary Keatinge explore the practical aspects of cruising alongside the culture and history of both countries, bringing the guide to life with high-quality photography. Clear and familiar Imray chartlets provide valuable navigational support throughout. An essential companion for first-time visitors and seasoned cruisers alike.
