Experience

You simply have to experience the ultimate Hermes Speedster feeling. When you step on board, you will find that this is a boat like no other. Some describe this feeling as if they are “driving” across the water in a Porsche 356 Speedster. Others go back in time quite a few years when boarding this “vintage cabrio”. Anyway, everyone who gets on board will experience the ultimate way of complete relaxation. We are excited to hear aboutyour impression…

Hanseatic city

Discover Harderwijk and be amazed

The Vischpoort was built at the end of the 14th century and is one of the two original ports on the sea side of Harderwijk. The other port unfortunately no longer exists. In the past, the fish caught by this gate, which had entered the city through the Hoge Brugge gate, were brought back to the botters for transport elsewhere after the sale. The gate also served as a protective function against both enemies and the water. When you walk around the atmospheric Vischmarkt, you will see that the houses are built a little higher. In the past there was a flood room, so that people kept their feet dry in the house if the gate was closed too late.
