Well, the driving might be faster if the Netherlands didn't have such a
lot of traffic on the motorways.

Yes, they are saturated in some places.

We were in the Netherlands in April and June (with a car trip to
Scandinavia in between) and had no saturation problems at all. But then
we picked our travel times. :-)

The A4 near Leiden locks up every day. There is section that is still
only two lanes each way.
The A44 from Leiden to Wassenaar locks up every day.

The Rotterdam ring seems to have improved, maybe there is less traffic.

The only time we had a problem was near Hamburg on the way to Denmark.

But you are right about the railway stations being (mostly) a long way
from the boatyards. I would not hesitate to rent a car.
