MarBoei poetry route | Sailing route

Visit the poetic anchorages on the Frisian waters and enjoy 9 poems by various (Frisian) poets.

As a water sports enthusiast, you can not only moor at Marrekrite docks but also at a MarBoei. There are dozens of them on the lakes of Waterland van Friesland. Once moored, this spot is exclusively yours for up to 24 hours. You can't get closer to your own nature and that of the water. It's so captivating that many people spontaneously started composing poems about it.

Poetic Anchorages
Because a MarBoei can also be a poetic anchorage. Together with De Moanne, poems have been written that are connected to these buoys. With this MarBoei route, 9 of these poetic anchorages are linked together.

Moore your boat at the 9 MarBoeis, read the beautiful poems, admire the view, and enjoy the peace and space.

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