Renting a motoryacht

It is often thought that a boat license is required to rent a yacht. However, this is not the case. Our motor cruisers are practical vessels that are easy to handle. The length of the ship has a maximum of 15 meters, so that a boat license is not required.

You do not need to have sailed a meter in order to have a boating license in the Netherlands. We attach more value to the sailing experience you have gained before you are allowed to sail on ships of 10 meters and larger. For beginners we recommend choosing a motor yacht up to 9.50 meters.

Short skippertraining

Before you can take the ship, we will first explain the operation of the ship and at least make a short trial run with a few manoeuvres; including mooring. If it is your first time, we will spend more time on manoeuvring and mooring. Please indicate this when booking.

Inventory

Our ships are equipped with a full kitchen inventory; plates, cutlery, pans, etc. In addition, there will be a small refrigerator on board (don’t expect a freezer compartment) and a sink with cold and hot water.

You will not find appliances such as a coffee maker, sandwich maker etc. on board. They take up too much space and use too much power. You can make coffee the old-fashioned way with a separate coffee filter and pour hot water on it or by using instant coffee.

Textiles such as a hand and tea towel are not standard on board. You can bring these yourself or order them. Bed linen / blankets etc. are not standard on board. You can choose to bring these yourself or order them (online). Only pillows are on board according to the number of persons.

Electricity

All ships are equipped with shore power. If this is connected, you can use 220 Volts. If you do not travel every day, it is advisable to connect the boat to shore power every other day for charging the batteries. This allows you to charge your mobile phone, etc. on the go, with a car charger. An USB connection is not available as standard. It is best to bring the USB plug yourself.
