The Dutch Coastguard searched overnight with boats, a helicopter and an aircraft for a missing yacht carrying four people north of Terschelling, but ended the search on Friday without finding it.
The search began after reports that there had been no contact with the crew of the Luna for 24 hours. A Coastguard spokesperson said the yacht was not necessarily in distress, as mobile coverage can be patchy at sea.
Ships in the North Sea have been asked to look out for the yacht, and the Danish and Norwegian coastguards have been alerted. German rescuers also took part in the intensive search, which included ports around the Wadden Islands, the spokesperson said.
