About
About Lauwersoog
Eleven sailings a week out and 10 back, over 3.5 nautical miles of the Wadden Sea, taking 31 to 33 minutes. Lauwersoog runs from 06:30 to 20:15 under four day patterns.
The crossing threads a tidal channel through sandbanks that dry out twice a day, which is why the timetable is not a clean hourly pattern: it follows the water.
Lauwersoog sits at the Lauwersmeer, the former sea inlet closed by a dam in 1969, on the Friesland–Groningen border. Wagenborg Passagiersdiensten operates the service. The Wadden Sea is a UNESCO World Heritage site and the largest unbroken system of intertidal flats in the world — the reason the boat cannot simply take a straight line.
