Connoisseur – Boating Holidays in Europe

Base Information

From the moment you arrive at your Connoisseur base, you can expect a warm welcome from our friendly (often multi-lingual) team on site who will show you to your boat and provide you with detailed maps and information about your cruising area.

Base manager Jelmer de Vries welcomes you to Strand Horst.

Windmills tower at the entrance of towns as if to mark your route along the pretty Dutch landscape and thousands of ponds, lakes, brooks and canals flow in every direction to form magnificent aquatic embroidery. When cruising in Holland you soon find that boating is a way of life.

Marina Strand Horst is situated in a beautiful, natural environment. This is a luxury resort with a Mediterranean atmosphere and lots of facilities on site.
