Distinguishing types of ship
Alongside botters, a pluunter (a very rare open fishing boat) and a Harderwijk punter are mentioned. Ask which ships are present on the day of your visit and what differences between the types the presentation explains.
A shed in use
Restoration and maintenance are variable activities. It can therefore be worth asking in advance which parts of the shed are accessible and whether an explanation of the work is possible.
Planning a sail separately
Botter trips are offered alongside a museum visit. Anyone who wants to go out on the water must separately check availability, departure and conditions for that; the museum being open does not guarantee a boat trip.
Before you go
Regular opening hours are seasonal. Groups and boat trips require an appointment; if you have mobility questions, also discuss boarding and the route through the shed.
