Sneekermeer
Snitser Mar
One of Friesland’s most popular lakes and the home venue for summer sailing, rowing and skûtsje sailing races.
Sneekermeer lies east of Sneek and is the water-sports center of the Frisian lake district. In summer the lake is covered with sailboats and yachts. You can rent boats or take sightseeing boats at lakeside places such as Terhorne and Offingawier. The skûtsje sailing race (SKS) is held here in July and August, and crowds gather on the shore to watch. Sailing experience is required, or you can join a boat tour with a skipper.
