BERGEN FISHING FIELD GUIDE
Four-Person Sloep Through the Berger- and Egmondermeer
Rent a 4-person motor sloep from Go With The Flo to glide at 9–10 km/h among the Berger- and Egmondermeer and, if you choose, continue through Alkmaar’s canals; this guide helps plan the outing and optional picnic.
Four-Person Sloep Through the Berger- and Egmondermeer.
A compact motor sloep lets you slip quietly across the shallow lakes east of the coast—Berger- and Egmondermeer—where reed edges and open water host an intimate display of local flora and fauna. The operator, Go With The Flo’ot, rents four-person boats that are as much about a slow, deliberate day on the water as they are about simple mobility between lakes and, for those who want it, a scenic circuit through Alkmaar’s canals.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Flora and Fauna of the Berger- and Egmondermeer
The outing centers on observing lakeside vegetation and birdlife from a low-slung sloep — a quiet way to experience the local natural scene without the splash and churn of larger craft.
From the Lakes to the Alkmaar Canals
Beyond the Berger- and Egmondermeer you can plot a route into Alkmaar to make a memorable loop through the Alkmaarse grachten — the operator can advise on a suitable and attractive itinerary.
Practical, Steady Motorboats
The rental motorboats travel at a steady 9–10 km/h and are offered with an optional picnic basket to make a simple day on the water complete.
What the day feels like
What the Day Feels Like
The trip is low-key and modular: board a small motor sloep, set a relaxed pace at roughly 9–10 km/h, and choose how far to push the day — linger among the reed beds, stop for a picnic basket arranged by the operator, or aim for a longer loop that includes Alkmaar’s canals.
