Watertaxi Hoorn

The Watertaxi was founded in 2011 to entice visitors of the harbour to park their cars outside the city and transport them by boat from there to the centre of the city and the harbour. While sailing they admire the beautiful ancient buildings, canals, locks and how the city was originated. As a result of the enthusiastic reactions we started to offer boat tours where the boatman guides you through all this beauty in your own language. This kind of tours usually last 60 minutes. On board you can enjoy wine, chilled beer and soft drinks, all for free. On request we can also provide little snacks or fulfil other wishes. Boats; Our first boat, we started with, is a beautiful Norwegian aluminium lifeboat from 1956. This is exactly the right size to pass the lowest bridges and to get to the best spots in town and is also suitable for the Markermeer. The boat can accommodate 12 guests. Since 2015 we have, as a second boat, a fully electric one, suitable for 18 people. Environmentally friendly and wonderful quiet, so you and your party can enjoy even more.

Elisa van der Jagt

Moi anzitte, dom kaike en overal bar van ophore. Met die woorden vat Elisa op haar zelf ontworpen flyer samen waar het tijdens de tour zo’n beetje op neerkomt. Zij organiseert een dagtour door West-Friesland, waarbij de deelnemers vooraf niet weten hoe het programma eruit ziet. ,,We zullen tijdens deze dag met een bus meerdere plekken bezoeken” Je schrijft je dus eigenlijk in zonder dat je weet wat je die dag precies gaat doen. Een gokje, maar een leuke manier om een dagje uit te gaan.”
