If the sun’s shining, it's time to hit the water.

The Eem is an 18-kilometre long river that officially starts at the Koppelpoort in Amersfoort and ends on the Eemmeer lake. Marina Nieuwboer lies on this lake and is a perfect starting point for an afternoon of floating around. From there, you can discover the Eem and sail towards Amersfoort via Soest. On the way, you’ll come by beautiful nature areas and pastures, as well as beautiful villages such as Eemdijk and Eembrugge. Sailing to a culinary stop? Navigate to theetuineemnes.nl, on the border of the provinces of Noord-Holland and Utrecht, for a cup of tea.
