Venlo at the water
Admire Venlo from a different perspective? Step aboard the Filia Mosae, rent a sloop, or dock with your own boat. As a city on the Maas, Venlo has not one but two recreational harbors: Jachthaven Blerick and the city harbor in Venlo. Another fun way to discover the Maas is by ferry. During your crossing, you have a beautiful view of the Maas and its green banks, Kloosterdorp Steyl or picturesque Arcen.
Ahoy skipper!
Do you prefer to be at the helm yourself? Then rent your own sloop at Sloepverhuur Venlo. Sail south towards the charming monastery village of Steyl or downstream to the picturesque Arcen. Bring food and drinks, good company, and your day on the water will be perfect!
