In our sales harbor, there are always more than 40 sailing yachts ready for viewing. From 8 to 14 meters, from classic to modern – there is something for everyone.

– Central location in Friesland
Heeg is the ideal base for sailing trips on the Frisian lakes, the IJsselmeer and even the Wadden Sea. So your new boat is immediately in the right place.
