This is a 76-page A4 guide, first published in 2019 and now updated for 2024, providing detailed navigational information on 14 different routes by which yachts can transit the Netherlands. Written by CA members Andy Mulholland and James Littlewood and edited by Gordon Knight, the guide covers nearly 1,000kms of waterways from Vlissingen near the Belgian border to Delfzijl close to the border with Germany. Available in A4 size and printed in full colour throughout, the guide includes maps, distance tables, lock and bridge opening hours and colour photos to help skippers plan alternative routes.
Also included is a 25% discount offer on first year's Cruising Association membership.
The guide is regularly updated (usually annually) using reports submitted by members of the CA's European Inland Waterways Section (EIWS) and incorporates numerous hyperlinks to a wealth of additional information. Non-members benefit from numerous hyperlinks in green to additional information on the internet, while CA members (who can download all EIWS guides for free) also benefit from further hyperlinks to the CA's award-winning app CAptain's Mate to obtain the most up to date information on mooring locations and navigational restrictions as it is posted.
If you would like a hard copy as well, all the guides can also be purchased in full colour A4 printed format from the print-on-demand publishers Lulu.
For information on the additional benefits (in addition to free PDF downloads of all the EIWS guides) available to members, please see EIWS webpage.
CA members can download a PDF of the guide for free from the members' pages of the CA website.
