Welcome to the website of boat rental company “De Vlietlanden”.
Happy Boats has taken over part of the fleet from Boat Rental De Vlietlanden. You can still make reservations and enjoy the same boats you are used to. The new departure point is only a few minutes away from the old location. The new address is: IJsselmeerstraat 1 in Medemblik, at the EuroParcs IJsselmeer holiday park. There is plenty of parking available close to the jetties.
At boat rental “Happy Boats” you can rent boats all year round, equipped with small petrol engines (5 hp and 9.9 hp). The boats travel at 6 to 12 kilometres per hour, so no boating licence is required.
There are many rental options: you can choose a morning, an afternoon, or a full day. If you wish to rent a boat for several days, please let us know where you will be staying in the area.
All boats are suitable for fishing and recreational purposes.
The lakes Groote Vliet and Kleine Vliet are located close to the holiday park, and it is also possible to take a tour through the polder canals of West Friesland.
Altogether, 540 km of navigable and fishing waters are accessible in the surrounding area.
In autumn and winter, as long as the lakes and canals remain ice‑free, the area around De Vlietlanden is an angler’s paradise. Because the boats are rented out all year round, trolling for predatory fish has become a very well‑known and widely practised sport among anglers. Fishing with dead bait is also possible throughout the region. In spring and summer, coarse fishing from the boats is also a popular activity.
There are many charming small villages in the area, all accessible by boat.
There is also a small fishing tackle shop at the boat rental. Here you can find everything you need for fishing in this region. The shop is well stocked with equipment for both predator and coarse fishing. Bait is also available: maggots, worms, corn, boilies, dead bait fish, and various types of fish feed. The VISpas from Sportvisserij Nederland is available in our shop.
