Late summer on the water: an October day on the Randmeren

/ Stories / Door

A late summer day in early October has something special: blue skies, calm water and time with nothing you need to do. For many guests, a day like that on the Randmeren is exactly the reason to head out on the water once more.

Peace on the water

In the high season the Randmeren can be busy. At the end of summer and in autumn it is usually quieter, with more room on the water and at the jetty. You set the pace of the day yourself, and there is no reason to rush.

A day without hurry

At a relaxed speed of 10 to 12 kilometres per hour, a late summer day is just long enough. A cup of coffee from the Nespresso machine on board, a relaxed start from Harderwijk, lunch in one of the harbour towns and an afternoon with nothing that has to be done. On board DOJO the electric panoramic sliding roof opens, so you cruise as a (half) convertible and take the sun with you. On Idefix that open feeling comes from folding down or removing part of the canopy.

As the sun goes down

Once the sun sets, it cools down quickly in October. That is exactly what makes the evening on board so cosy: a warm jumper and a blanket on the aft deck. On DOJO the Webasto hot-air heating makes the saloon comfortable in no time. On Idefix, which has no heating, an extra layer of clothing suits October well.

The winter season is coming

Even when late summer is over, cruising the Randmeren is well worth it. From 30 October our winter season begins, with quieter water, friendlier rates and the option of a weekend or a short week from Monday to Friday. If you would rather not leave your next late summer day to chance, you might already look ahead to 2027, the year in which Vita Lenta, our Linssen Grand Sturdy 40.1 AC with three cabins, joins the fleet.
