Experience the silence, the open space, and the magic of the Frisian landscape from a unique lodging location. Our ship, with a touch of nostalgia, is anchored in the heart of “De Alde Feanen” National Park. Accessible only by boat, completely surrounded by water, reed beds, and vast skies—this is nature at its purest. You don’t have to steer the boat yourself, so no experience is necessary. We’ll moor the ship for you in the most beautiful spots; all you have to do is enjoy yourself. The boat is comfortably furnished and fully self-sufficient thanks to solar panels, so you can enjoy an off-grid experience. Here, you truly live outdoors—freely, sustainably, and in harmony with nature.
Nature and surroundings
Wake up to nothing but the sound of birds and the rustling of the reeds. Enjoy a cup of coffee on the deck as the sun rises. During the day, head out in the rowboat, which is at your disposal throughout your stay. It’s the perfect way to explore the beautiful De Alde Feanen region. Pop over to Earnewald for groceries or lunch, or head to Grou for some leisurely shopping. Enjoy a SUP tour or head out in a canoe to explore the small, quiet waterways—you’re welcome to use these during your stay. In the evening, return to the ship, enjoy a glass of wine, and take in the beautiful sunset. On the day of your arrival, you’ll be picked up at the Earnewald passenger dock. We’ll take you to the boat in the sloop and provide sailing instructions if needed. During your stay, you’re welcome to use our sloop, which comes standard with a full (diesel) tank. So leave the hustle and bustle behind, rediscover peace, and discover how beautiful simplicity can be—this is coming home to nature.

Really, really kind people who make sure you have a wonderful stay
Super hele lieve mensen die zorgen dat je een fijnverblijf heeft
It's a really beautiful place called Bootword, situated in a lovely spot, and you can take nice little trips on the water in a small rowboat.
Het is echt super mooie Bootword op mooie plek gelegen en kan met kleine sloep lekker over het water tochtjes maken

This is already the second time we’ve stayed on Joukje and Koos’s boat. It’s a truly special experience. You can swim anywhere in the area, explore the surroundings on the Earenewald rowboat, and go on trips in the canoes or on stand-up paddleboards from the main boat.
Het is al de 2e keer dat we hebben verbleven op de boot van Joukje en Koos. Een hele bijzondere ervaring. Je kan overal in de omgeving zwemmen, met de sloep Earenewald verkennen en met de kanos of sup vanuit de grote boot tochtjes maken.
One of the few places in the Netherlands where it’s truly quiet because you’re right in the middle of the water, far from any roads.
Een van de weinige plekken in Nederland waar het echt stil is doordat je midden op het water bent niet in de buurt van wegen.

Living on a boat really has to be your thing. Technically, four people can sleep on the boat, but in our experience, that’s not really practical. Two in the cabin (they shouldn’t be the biggest or tallest people), one in the galley (oh right, it’s called a “combuis”), and one in the wheelhouse.
Even with just three adults, we still found our freedom of movement somewhat limited, but that’s just part of life on a boat. The basic amenities are there, and that’s perfectly fine. Koos and Joukje are very nice and helpful.Leven op een boot moet wel je ding zijn. Technisch kunnen er 4 mensen op de boot slapen, praktisch is dat wat ons betreft niet zo. 2 in de kajuit (moeten niet de grootste/langste mensen zijn) 1 in de keuken (oja, dat heet combuis) en 1 in de stuurhut.
Wij vonden met 3 volwassen toch al wel wat beperking van bewegingsvrijheid, maar dat is weer inherent aan het leven op een boot. De basisvoorzieningen zijn er en dat is verder prima. Koos en Joukje zijn erg aardig en behulpzaam.The answer to this question depends mainly on where you moor the boat. We chose a small island so we could go ashore every now and then.
When sailing conditions are good, you can take some really beautiful trips in the accompanying rowboat and see much more of the natural beauty of the Alde Feanen.Het antwoord op deze vraag ligt vooral in de locatie waar je de boot laat afmeren. Wij kozen voor een klein eilandje om af en toe ook van boord te kunnen.
Als de vaaromstandigheden goed zijn, kun je met de bijbehorende sloep hele mooie tochten maken, en zie je nog veel meer van de natuur van de Alde Feanen.This text is automatically translated.
