It's so captivating that many people spontaneously started composing poems about it.

Mooring at a MarBoei is different from mooring ashore due to the wind. Watch this instructional video for guidance.

Renting a Boat in Friesland
If you don't have your own motorboat or sloop, no worries, you can easily rent a boat in Friesland.

Duration of the Route
With this nearly 100-kilometer route, you'll be on the water for several days. The MarBoeis are suitable for mooring, and you can stay for a maximum of 24 hours! Enjoy the tranquility on the water and hopefully a beautiful starry sky on a dark night!

Bridges in Friesland
On this route, you'll encounter several fixed bridges, as well as some that you can open yourself. Consult the Watersport App of the provinsje Fryslân to check the opening times and heights of the bridges.

Sustainable Boating
Need to refuel? Choose blue diesel. Or go out with an electric boat. Something tasty for the journey? Fine, but make sure empty packages don't blow overboard. And if you come across litter along the way, take it on board. 

Waterway Information
The waterway classification on this route varies. In some sections (near the Âldegeaster Brekken), it is F. Otherwise, the water is navigable for larger boats.

Storyline Space
A MarBoei is part of the Storyline Space. Through twelve special places in Waterland van Friesland, you embark on a 'space journey.'

de boten houden zich stil tot het eiland hen gevonden heeft in hun dromen ontwerpen ze het land voelen hoe hun tenen het zand raken zien hoe een schildpad rechtsomkeert maakt in hun hoofd ontwaakt het vermoeden van een stad

Marboei MB62

Wurkskip is it wurd op ’e dronkene wetters fan de skommeljende Bombrek. Dêr’t it swurk tonger seit, hâldt de loft de duvelskoppen fan Breughel en Bosch. Seilen ride op ’e reiden, skowe as blauwe triangels troch pleats en mole.

Marboei MB28

Elke lege zak kan in een meer springen Maar alles wat je bezit is nodig om er weer uit te komen Het hangende zwarte water dat tussen je loodzware kleren kleeft en je ijlend onder dwingt

Marboei MB45

De man zei: ‘Weg daar!’ De vrouw dacht: touw bevestigen, daar is toch geen kunst aan? Toen hij naast haar stond, botste de boot onrustig op het water – alsof iemand steeds voor zijn beurt sprak, eigenlijk onhoudbaar was.

Marboei MB42

Far de feart mar út, krús de gleone tiidlinen – heechspanningskabels, autodyk oer wetterkym – peddeldichtsje dwers ûnder. Smeulsk wachtet de mar, it terra ynkognita fan dit útbiten en ynklonken feangreidlân.
