A boating holiday for two is one of the loveliest ways to discover Friesland. Together you decide where to sail, where to moor up and how long to stay.
For two people, the compact motorboats in our range are ideal. They are easy to steer, economical on fuel and offer all the space and comfort you need for a boating holiday. Think of your own sleeping cabin, a small kitchen and a toilet on board. That way you are completely self-sufficient on the water.

With four people on board, you have a little more room to spread out. A family, two couples or a group of friends. For four people, our range offers several excellent options. Think of boats with two sleeping cabins, a fully equipped galley, a shower and a toilet. Everything you need to spend several days or a whole week on the water in comfort.
Hiring a boat in Friesland for 4 people also means the freedom to choose a route together. Sail to the historic centre of Sneek, explore the quiet Frisian polders or moor up at one of the cosy waterside pubs along the way. Friesland offers plenty of variety for any group of four, so you won't get bored all week.
Hiring a boat in Friesland with 6 people? Then you'll want space. Space in the wheelhouse, on deck, in the sleeping cabins and around the dining table. Luckily, Familieboten also has suitable boats for larger groups.
Boat hire in Friesland for 6 people is well taken care of with us. The boats for this group size are spacious, have several sleeping cabins and are fully equipped for a longer boating holiday. Whether you're going with the whole family or with a mix of friends and partners: there's a place on board for everyone.
Boating with six people also brings its own dynamic. Who does the cooking? Who takes the helm? Who picks the next mooring spot? It's exactly these things that make a boating holiday with a larger group so memorable.
Keep in mind that a boat for 4 people really needs to sleep four people. Always check how many berths a boat has, not just its maximum daytime capacity.

Boats with a bowthruster are considerably easier to moor, especially in busy marinas. For beginners, this is a big advantage.
For a short boating holiday of two to three nights, a more compact boat is perfectly fine. Going for a week or longer? Then extra space and good toilet and shower comfort are well worth it.
Whether you're seeking peace and quiet for two, heading off on a family adventure with four, or want to conquer the Frisian lakes with five friends: Familieboten has the right boat for you. Personal advice, reliable boat owners and a user-friendly booking page.
