Zeeland (also known as the Delta area) offers excellent sailing waters, not only for shallow draft boats. All waters are clearly buoyed, during the season (April – September) recreational buoys for yachts are deployed at the 1,5 meter (5 ft) depth line. There are numerous small harbours, free yellow moorings (during the season) and even more quiet and protected anchorages.
