A hengst is a type of traditional Dutch fishing vessel for use in the large Dutch and Belgian estuaria. They were working ships, able to operate in shallow waters and easily dragged onto and from sandbanks.

They were sailing ships although smaller versions –not universally considered to be hengsten– could be rowed. These were used upstream, eastwards to the German border.

Lemmerhengsten, crossovers from lemsteraken, had their stern adapted for speed.

Being suitable for shallow water hengsten were used to ferry people; veerhengsten had adaptations for this trade.

The drowning of John William Friso, Prince of Orange happened in a hengst but the depictions are unrealistic, varying from specialized crafts to floating washtubs.
