Were given an extremely friendly welcome and a detailed explanation of the Aira22. What a lovely sailboat and highly recommended if you want a bit more than sailing in Valk. Especially when the genaker can be raised, it becomes sporty sailing.
Fine service, very nice boat, beautiful environment for sailing. Until next time!
On Wednesday 20 August, my mates and I had a fantastic sailing trip on the Mateo, an Aira 22. A comfortable a stable boat. We had to cancel two previous dates due to illness and bad weather. It was no problem at all to fix a new date at no cost. Meat for the barbecue we were allowed to keep in Inge and Jelle's fridge. The contact was great and the service was top notch!
Smooth booking, pleasant contact, good value for money.
In particular, the fact that you can cancel late was great for us, especially because of the weather, which, if you book early, you obviously can't predict.
We had an Aira 22. A very (seat) comfortable sailboat, if you are used to a Valk. And fast, too. The weathersum conditions also happened to be excellent. No deposit needed to be paid. Highly recommended!
Fine service, good and friendly explanations and excellent boat. Close to the Heegermeer, where you can sail for hours to the Fluessen and beyond. You get a handy watermap. The Aira is comfortable thanks to seat cushions and benches in the cockpit and sails nicely sharp. Lovely day with lots of sunshine and plenty of wind.
At our traditional sailing weekend, we sail the familiar Falcons. To try something different, we hired 5 Aira's. What fantastic sailing and spacious boats they are. With the seating comfort of a cabin boat. All 20 participants unanimously agreed: next year, Aira's again.
Habe das Boot schon länger ausprobieren wollen. Hat sich gelohnt! Bequemes Segeln auf den Bänken oder auch bei mehr Wind auf der Kante! Die Ergonometrie stimmt! Besonders die Abstützmöglichkeiten im Cockpit sind gut, ebenso wie der Halt auf der angerauten Oberfläche - jederzeit sicherer Stand!
Liegt sehr gut auf dem Ruder, lässt sich super steuern!
Die Bedienung der Fallen, Reffleinen und Schoten ist überdacht und läuft gut. Begrenzt sogar gut einhandtauglich - mit Gennaker grenzwertig 🤔
Segeln gut zu 2-4 Personen auf bequemen Polstern, zu 6. bei wenig Wind okay.
Gute Staumöglichkeiten in der Schlupfkajüte und den 4 Backskisten.
Der Motor war fit und sprang immer an (wenn ich den Benzinhahn aufgedreht habe...).
Gerne bestimmt mal wieder!
wonderful comfortable sailboat that Aira 22, a petrol engine that always does it! (and not a competitor's electric one with dead batteries!). good rigging for sporty sailing on the Heegermeer. hospitable reception.
Lovely sailed on Frisian lakes with fast Aira22. Beautiful boat and good service.
First time we have sailed an aira. The boat sails wonderfully close to the wind and steers beautifully light. With the gennaker on as well, the party was complete. You are also comfortable in it.
Rented 2 sailing boats, easily arranged via website. The company is also easily accessible by telephone and you will receive good assistance. Jelle wants to help you with everything. By the way, boats sail very well and are fast.
Two days of sailing with the Aira 22. We really enjoyed it! The boat sails wonderfully, nice and smooth and is more comfortable than a Valk. Enough room for a longer trip. Absolutely recommended!
Rented an Aira for the first time. Compared to previous rented sailboats, this is a great sailboat. Everything well done, lovely cushions, easy and sporty sailing. We had quite a lot of wind, but with two reefs it went perfectly! The boat responds nicely and sails great. Understood that even with little wind the Aira also still sails very well.
Nice welcome and good explanations where needed. Very relaxed!
It was a top day!
Lovely sailing with an Aira 22
Lovely day on the Aira 22. Fine boat. What was nice was the people from Enjoy on the Water came immediately when we had a small problem with the outboard motor. Could have solved it ourselves afterwards. Agree with the earlier comment about the clamps, but they are going to replace them. Furthermore, a easy-sailing boat. Can also be sailed well solo.
You're nice and quick on the Heegermeer. Nice that it's not such a big and massive company either. Nice and cosy and personal.
fast and comfortable: surely that is the hallmark of the Aira. It is a pity that a decent variant was not chosen for the curry clips.
The Aira was an unknown sailboat for us but after a lovely day's sailing it was immediately a top favourite! Nice sporty, easy to handle boat. Highly recommended for a nice day on the Frisian lakes.
What a fine boat. We have sailed a lot of yachts (especially bavaria's), and in the past of course BM and polyvalk, in recent years some more game sailing with Tirion21, RS300 and now discovered the Aria. It has it all: much faster than the falcon, more comfort because of the reefing lines, cushions and fine cabin, simpler than the Tirion, and only 1m20 deep. In 5 quarters of an hour cruising from Wetterspetter to islet at Kruzpole at ZW2 a 3. Would be nice if the jib sheet was more manageable, not handy. Handling and explanation boat good.
Hospitable welcome by Jelle, clear explanation.
A nice fast boat, comfortable with the cushions on the benches and seat height.
For a fun day of sailing from Heeg highly recommended !!!
Compared to a Valk, this boat is easier to handle, more comfortable (sitting on benches instead of in the cockpit) and probably sails better. Boat had a good outboard motor as well as Gennaker (easy to mount). Excellent and clear explanation on departure. The mast is not ironable, which gives you fewer options for sailing everywhere. (However, enough remains for a few days).
Schiff läuft gut Höhe und wendet leicht. Raumschots auch schnell.
Rollfock schwer zu Rollen.Vorschiff setzt bei Welle manchmal hart ein.
As a Daysailer viel Segelspass.
We rented aira 22. Very easy to sail and is quiet on the helm. The reefing system is also very simple, all in all a very nice boat.
We were curious about the good stories we had heard ober the Aira, and these all came true. Sails super. We had 4-5 Bft with gusts 6, so reefed sailed. Easy to set. Unfortunately the strong breeze did not allow us to try the gennaker.
Lovely location a very friendly service
Sailed for a day on the Aira 22. Unfortunately little wind. A little more in the afternoon. Stable boat. Picks up quickly in a gust. Spacious cockpit and simple sail handling. No need to be an experienced sailor to handle this. The clamps for the sheets did not function optimally. In need of maintenance.
For some deThe reef aft was not reefed. If you had to reef, the mainsail should have been lowered and reefed first. The reefing system itself is single line by Selden. This is very easy to operate. 2 large lockers for taking things with you. For the sports enthusiasts among us, you can also get a genakker. We did not use it because we had to sail back downwind. So we couldn't try it out.
Great boat and location for a day of sailing.
The new aira 22 comes highly recommended. Sails better than a falcon, is more manageable and has more comfort. Children slept in the forecastle. Took some time to convert but this way all 4 of us fitted in!
Sailed in an Aira 22 for the first time on 21-07-2021.
Truly a super experience in a super boat!
Price & quality & service (Jelle Schoeman is a nice and relaxed guy!) in a word top!
Having sailed for years in BMers, Valk and Randmeer... this really is in a class of its own!
What a sailing feast, that Aira 22. Same dimensions as a Valk or a Randmeer, but the modern design of hull and sails ensures more speed on all courses. And even more with gennaker. Amazingly then, sailing comfort is also better. Setting the gennaker does require considerable dexterity. Furthermore, I missed a cunningham line, while the stocking is in the mainsail.
Great to have a place to rent this boat. Helpful people.
Friendly people but we especially liked the boat. Just a bit more sailing experience than with a falcon. But the cushions and bakkie boxes also make this boat considerably more comfortable. For me, the perfect replacement for the falcon
Great reception and customer-friendly. We will definitely keep in touch. When I have the opportunity to rent an open sailboat again, I will report to "genietenophetwater.nl" again.
We had a very nice day with a genaker on it with extendable sprites. Lovely sailing. Well equipped everything is on board.
Good to ride and also soon on Heegermeer and Fluessen. Confidence in good handling of equipment. Very nice. On the way we were asked by someone in a falcon about the experience of the Aira. I said I like this just fine!!! Sporting potential and possibly a race to sail! I say do it
The Aira 22 from "Genieten op het water" has everything you want for a day of family sailing (4x). Sails fantastic and is comfortable. Also the service from "Genieten op het water" is top!!!
Well-maintained and equipped boats, friendly and helpful reception. No fuss, but mutual trust in the correct handling of the equipment. In short, real carefree enjoyment! Return address. Thanks, Jelle!
Aira 22 rented for 4 days. What a fine boat. Good seating and beautiful sailing.
Boat is rented out incl eg barrel, life jackets and spare tank of petrol.
Quick service!
very nice people, and great service.
A top day, everything just right. Instead of a falcon, we were given an Aria 21. A great boat.
Many thanks.
We had a top day on the heeger lake with the aira.
We had initially hired the polyvalk but on arrival the aira immediately caught our eye. Fortunately, jelle is not the most difficult person and we were able to rebook the boat for a very reasonable price.
Definitely worth repeating.
It was a very enjoyable day's sailing on a well-cared-for and fine sailing boat ( Aira 22).
It is a customer-friendly and suitable rental company. Thanks.
I had seen this boat once at the Hiswa. Was impressed then. Now we have actually sailed it. GORGEOUS.
Booking (and changing) was super easy. Deposit arranged very simply. Relaxed reception and explanation.
Next year for sure.
We were well served and the aira 22 is a very nice boat to sail.
In summer 2020, we rented the Aira 22 "Juan" from Genieten op het water for a fortnight.
As far as we are concerned, it really comes highly recommended. The boat is well equipped: furling jib, single line reefing, cockpit cushions, new 4-stroke outboard engine and last but not least a furling gennaker (Code Zero).
We sailed at windforce 4 and in low winds; in all cases, the boat is very controllable and remains controlled. Moreover, she is fast; not met any Valk, Randmeer or other similar open boat against whom 'we had to compete'.
Moreover, very comfortable; the seats and cushions are a real delight for longer trips.
We had a small technical problem on the way (block of mainsheet was not tightened properly), this was solved immediately by Jelle from Genieten op het Water; even stopping by our cottage!
Recommended.
Fine boat that aira.
Nice and comfortable, easy to reef, good protection in the deep cockpit.
Great rental service from Jelle!
Enjoyed sailing the aira 22. Handy gennaker and a nice speed sitting on a bench. Jib controls from all places easy to operate.
Great Sailing boats and very friendly and relaxed service. Good location, and parking fascilities.
We have experience with the Poly Falcon but just tried the Aira this time....
A very comfortable boat, the benches with cushions are fine and that's a big difference from the Valk anyway
It is also a stable fast boat that does not easily fall on one ear.
Yes this is a worthy successorer van de Valk
It has a normal BB motor on it and not the electro shown in the video and standard info.
We will rent the Aira again next time
Lovely boat for sailing. Combination of a sporty experience on an open boat and yet very comfortably equipped.
Landlord is flexible, friendly and customer-oriented
