The following fuel is included in the rental price. You get the Aira 22 with a full tank of petrol (E10) and a spare 5-litre tank.
Maxima sloops are rented out including fuel surcharge (for this you get a full tank, enough to sail for a day).
The Van Vossen sloops are also delivered with a full tank (80 litres). Only when you hire a Van Vossen sloop for several days will we charge for fuel consumption. If you return it full, you pay nothing. If the tank is not full, you will be charged for the number of litres that are empty.
Hanse sailing yachts have a full tank of diesel at the start of the rental period. When you return from your (mini) holiday, we settle the fuel consumption. If you return it full, you pay nothing. If it is not full, you will be charged for the number of litres the tank is emptier than when you left.
Routes are available for sloops. You will be given a route booklet with scenic routes. By scanning the QR code at the front of the booklet, you can also follow the routes via Google Maps.
From Heeg, you can sail your sloop on beautiful routes across the Frisian lakes and to Sneek, Langweer, Woudsend or Gaastmeer, for example.
We do not have standard routes for sailing boats. We do provide you with a watermap of the area. Jelle can always advise you on the day itself, taking into account the (expected) wind direction and strength.
Jelle can also advise you on routes to sail and nice moorings with the Tiny Houseboat.
Yes, your dog or cat can come on board!
To us, you pay no additional costs when renting a sloop or open sailboat.
For the Hanse sailing yachts, you pay €80 final cleaning fee.
Should you need more fuel during your holiday or stay overnight in a port, there are of course costs involved.
If you have rented the boat for a day, in case of bad weather you can change your booking to another day within the current season (subject to availability) until 16:00 of the previous day.
For cancellations for other reasons, our terms and conditions. If you want to move your booking please contact us in good time.
We rent sloops for 2-12 people. If you want to come slooping with a group, we can accommodate up to 55 people.
The Aira 22 is suitable for 1-6 people. If you are with a larger party, you can of course rent several Aira's; we have 6 Aira's, so up to 30 people.
The Hanse 315 sleeps 1-5 and the Hanse 348 sleeps 1-7.
You can rent a boat from us in season from 1 April to 31 October for as long as you like. You can hire the Aira 22 and our sloops for a day or longer.
You rent the Tiny Houseboat and the Hanse 315 at least for a weekend or midweek.
Up to 15 days you can book the boats directly online. If you want to book longer please contact us.
Although we maintain our boats to the best of our ability, something can always break down. In that case, contact us immediately and we will try to find a solution to the problem as soon as possible, so that you can continue sailing and enjoying yourself again soon.
It is not wise to rent a sailboat if no one on board has sailing experience. For the Aira 22, it is helpful if you or your party have sailed an open sailboat before. For the Hanse 315, at least a week's experience as a skipper on a cabin sailing yacht is required.
No boating experience is required to rent a sloop. If you rent one of our larger boats, some boating experience is recommended.
Some boating experience with a somewhat larger boat is also recommended for renting the Tiny Houseboat.
Naturally, our boats are well insured. In the unlikely event of damage, an excess of €250 applies to the Aira 22 and the sloops and €1,000 to the Hanse 315 and the Tiny Houseboat.
The rental of the Aira 22s and the sloops is from 9am to 6pm in the morning. The times of the Hanse 315 and the Tiny Houseboat depend on the chosen period. During the books these times are listed.
No a boating licence is not required to hire our boats. However, it is good to know the sailing rules. Check for example the site sailingtogether.com
We rent Maxima sloops for 1-12 people and a Van Vossen sloop for 2-12 people. Beautiful sloops to discover Friesland for a day or longer.
If you want a motorboat where you can stay overnight think about our Tiny Houseboat.
If you want to spend a boating holiday on a sailing yacht, then the Hanse 315 is your boat!
The minimum age to rent a boat is 18 years. If you are younger please contact us about your plans and together we will see what is possible.
Are you staying in Heeg at one of the holiday parks (such as Pharshoeke, Waterpark Heeg, Havenresort Heeg, Aqua Vive or Pension Aan het Water) or campsites (Watersportcamping Heeg, Camping Lân en Mar or Camping Oan'e Poel) and if you book a boat for 2 days or longer, it is possible to have your boat delivered and collected at your stay.
If you book your boat for 5 days or more, we also offer this drop-off and pick-up service in Gaastmeer, Woudsend, Sloten, Langweer, Elahuizen, IJlst and Sneek. In short: if you want to rent a boat in the middle of the Frisian lake district, you have come to the right place!
