About snoekbaars bootverhuur

Snoekbaars Bootverhuur is an initiative of Aad Lansbergen with close coorporation with EuroParcs. Aad Lansbergen is one of the house owners (eg at Europarcs Veluwemeer) at the first moment and with his twenty years of experience on fishing zanders from a boat, we dare to say with confidence that it is logical this expert will share his experience with you. He knows for sure you will be as excited about fishing as he is for years.

The boats are directly available for rent from EuroParcs Veluwemeer. Activities “Zander fishing on lake Veluwe…” and “Sailing to Harderwijk” are part of the event program of EuroParcs and contribute to an even better experience during your vacation at the parc.
