From the terrace to the boat in 10 minutes | Spontaneous summer feeling in Uitgeest

Sometimes it is precisely the unplanned moments that turn out to be the most beautiful.

You're sitting comfortably on the terrace by the water at Breeze Uitgeest. The sun is shining, you have a drink in your hand and are watching the peopleā€¦ and suddenly you see a brochure for renting a sloop lying there.


Should we just leave?


And before you know it, you'll be sailing across Lake Uitgeest yourself šŸ˜„

This happens here regularly: People relax on the terrace, suddenly spot the brochure lying there, and spontaneously decide to go out on the water šŸ˜„ Honestly? Isn't that exactly the holiday feeling you want from a weekend getaway?


The best part is: you don't even need a boating license. You can simply sail yourself or book a skipper if you prefer to relax alone and enjoy the view.

And believe usā€¦ Uitgeest from the water is truly different. Quieter. Freer. As if you were suddenly much farther from home than you actually are.


Along the way, you glide past reed beds, sailboats, street cafes, and those places where everyone automatically speaks a little more quietly. Especially in the evenings, when the light on the water warms up, we understand perfectly why people spontaneously come aboard for a quick chat.


It is precisely this unpredictability that makes it so appealing.


Don't plan everything too precisely. Just think: We'll see where we end up.

5 facts about boating in Uitgeest

  1. Before you know it, you suddenly feel like someone who "just jumps on a boat." As if, the moment you sit behind a sloop wearing sunglasses, you spontaneously develop a second personality šŸ˜„

  2. The danger of saying "We're just having a drink at Breeze Uitgeest"? That 45 minutes later you'll be sitting on a boat with a cooler, even though nobody actually had a plan.

  3. It feels completely different from the water than from the road. Calmer. Freer. Less hectic. You almost wonder: Why don't we all live on boats as a matter of course?

  4. So you don't need a boat license to sail here yourself. Pretty dangerous information, to be honestā€¦ for your weekend plans šŸ˜‰

  5. These spontaneous summer evenings are always the evenings that people still talk about weeks later.


    Not the perfectly planned things. But simply: "Do you remember... that we suddenly rented this sloop?"
