Boating Holidays across the canals and rivers of Europe from Le Boat

Strand Horst Base

Base manager Jelmer de Vries welcomes you to Strand Horst. Windmills tower at the entrance of towns as if to mark your route along the pretty Dutch landscape and thousands of ponds, lakes, brooks and canals flow in every direction to form magnificent aquatic embroidery. When cruising in Holland you soon find that boating is a way of life. Marina Strand Horst is situated in a beautiful, natural environment. This is a luxury resort with a Mediterranean atmosphere and lots of facilities on site.
