Charter a traditional flat-bottomed sailing vessel for a quiet glide up the IJssel as the light turns gold over Kampen's gate towers and church spires.
What to expect
The boat pulls away from the quay and the town's famous silhouette — the Bovenkerk tower, the Nieuwe Toren, the old city gates — unfolds slowly across the water. Your skipper narrates as much or as little as you like and can steer toward the Koggewerf or out along quieter stretches of river. It's the same view painted by Dutch masters, just quieter now.
Good to know
Best booked for late afternoon light if your call is long enough; otherwise request the earliest slot. Departs from the town's own waterfront jetty, footsteps from the historic core.
