Practical information for when you rent a boat in Friesland

Is a boating licence or boating experience required?

None of our boats require a boating licence. 

Sloops

No boating experience is needed for the sloops either. However, it is then good to read our tips to safely sloop in Friesland to read in advance.

Aira 22

For the open sailboats, the Aira 22, some sailing experience is recommended but not required.

Hanse sailing yachts

To sail the Hanse 325 or Hanse 348, we require at least one week of sailing experience as an independent skipper on a cabin yacht.

Minimum age

The minimum age for renting one of our boats is 18 years. If you are younger and would still like to rent a boat, please contact us for options. Keep in mind that your parents or legal representative must give written permission to rent a boat.

Good weather guarantee

 

Is the weather unexpectedly bad and have you hired a sloop or open sailboat from us to go boating in Friesland? Then you can change your booking to another day (if available) until 16:00 of the day before the rental period.

At wind force 5 or more, we have the right to cancel your booking

Final cleaning after your boating holiday in Friesland

Final cleaning for the Hanse sailing yachts is obligatory at €80 per booking.
Before leaving, please wash your dishes and put your rubbish in the container near the cabin. It is nice for our cleaning crew if you leave the boat broom clean.

Lifejackets

We have free life jackets available on request, including for children.

Pets

EHogs are allowed. Unlike other landlords, we do not charge an (additional) cleaning fee if your dog comes on board.

Cancel

Bookings under €250 can be cancelled free of charge up to one week before the day of sailing. For other cancellations, please refer to our terms and conditions.

Borg

The deposit is €250 per booking per boat for the Aira 22 and Maxima sloops. The deposit is €1,000 for the Hanse sailing yachts.

For this, we ask you to declare that you will withdraw the excess or pay it in cash in case you sail damage. So no hassle with cash deposit!
