Feel like a local seaman aboard ‘Wiesje’, a 10.90-metre long, 3.63-metre wide Aquastar Sports Ranger sport fishing boat that offers fishing trips on the Western Scheldt. People who want to bring their own fishing gear are welcome to do so. The fishing trips are all-inclusive: the only thing you need to bring are warm clothes, the rest is taken care of. Everything you need to have a successful day on the water – rods, fishing traces, lead weights and bait – is provided. If you have no experience, the fishing boat’s experienced crew members will help you set up your rods and hooks in order to fish for cod and whiting. Food, hot chocolate, soup and an alcoholic drink are included, all at an attractive all-in price.
Fishing excursions are a great way to spend the day for seasoned sailors as well as those new to the sport.

Veere
The small city of Veere has an illustrious past. Today it only has about 750 residents, but in the 15th and 17th century Veere used to be a prosperous trading city with more than 5,000 inhabitants. This attractive old city oozes charm and the atmosphere of a time gone by, combining the past with modern-day liveliness in a stunning setting with water galore.
De Kaai near the marina and the Markt square are dotted with beautiful merchant’s houses and warehouses with stepped gables, spout gables, cornice gables and bell gables.
Today, much of the city’s heritage is still alive, such as the impressive Grote Kerk, the elegant town hall on the Markt square, the gothic Scottish houses along the Kaai and, last but not least, the fortifications. Veere also has many traditional shops.
