Hi there!


Hey

1. which route to take to see most of Holland's-must-see objects


That's a matter of taste. I guess the old places with antique harbours
around the IJsselmeer would be nice to visit, but in holiday season it
might be crowded.

2.where to launch the boat (we shall arrive to Holland from the East
direction)


This is a nice list of places where you can launch your boat:

3.what are legal requirements concerning such trip (licences, fees,
etc)


You only (when you don't have VHF) need a copy of the BPR , the Dutch
Inshore Police Reglement. You find it for example in this almanak:

https://webwinkel.anwb.nl/published/...5-2006.nl.html

It's also possible to download it from somewhere, but I've no clue
where atm


For the rest, some bridges do charge you.

4.where are we allowed to moor the boat, for a night or for a town
sightseeing


This depends on where you are. Some harbours are free, or free for 1
or 2 days, others (not many....yet) even charge you for anchoring in
front of the harbour.

Most if not all marina's and harbours are listed in the ANWB almanak
part 2, but I believe that one isn't available yet.

You can also ask this question in nl.sport.varen

Cheers!
