Was a nice sailing day , nice sunshine with it , despite the strong wind fine sloop to sail .
With some older seasoned sailors, we took a trip in a van Vossens sloop. Comfortable and spacious.
Clear website and good contact options. Highly recommended!
What an awfully nice company and supper nice Jelle is friendly and helpful highly recommended to hire a boat I have been to several companies this is no 1
Very nice sloop. I was captain and my girls, wife, daughter and granddaughters (and dog) enjoyed it. Super nice routes. Friendly reception.
The sloop was fantastic! The pick-up and drop-off service also super! Great contact!
We enjoyed ourselves immensely together on the beautiful large sloop available for hire at Genieten op het water. The routes you can sail are beautiful. We saw some nice places and enjoyed the surroundings. And ideally the plateau at the back from which we could fine the water.
Fine sloop (Maxima 630), with fridge, bathing platform and bow thruster. Reservation arranged smoothly.
Nice sloop with all the trimmings. Even a fridge on board. The platform at the back with swimming ladder were very nice. Nice routes.
The beautiful (Van Vossen 700) sloop was comfortable and clean. The route took us through the beautiful Frisian countryside with picturesque villages, peaceful lakes and nice places to moor. Definitely recommended for a fun day on the water!
Rented a very nice and spacious Vanvossen 700 sloop for a day. We sailed all day with a powerful Suzuki 30 HP engine, silent and economical. Left at 11:00 in the morning and returned to Heeg harbour a little after 19:00. Both on departure and return we were kindly greeted by the Owner. Clear explanation on how to use the sloop and water map with various routes.
This rental company comes highly recommended, nice equipment, flexible on time and good car parking.
Definitely worth repeating!
Rented a Maxima 550 for 2 days. Boat looked good and we were given clear instructions + tips for routes. Good value for money. There is no hood over engine so some noise.
"Genieten op het water " is definitely recommended for boat hire.
We had a lovely day sailing in a fine sloop. Owner Jelle was very nice, thought along with our wishes and his clear instructions made sailing the boat a breeze. This little address in Heeg comes highly recommended to water sports enthusiasts!
Lovely cruising in Friesland, neat reception and also nice that route maps are provided.
Also, the tip of being able to turn on google maps to see where you are is perfect!
Otherwise neat boat, recommended for a fun day.
Rented a fine Maxima 550. The explanation on how to steer the boat was good and explained calmly, also there were maps of the area with sailing routes. Plenty of choice to have a nice day on the water. You were also given tips on where to sail if necessary. Very nice That people are so thoughtful.
Beautiful, quiet location located of rental accommodation.
This was now the 2nd time in one week of renting a boat here, but I will definitely come back here!
Today we drove to Heeg from Alkmaar and rented a sloop. After a short sail we were already in Sneek, where the Oppenhuizerbrug closed just as we were nearing the bridge. A sloop reacts differently to the water than a car and keeping to the right under the fixed part of the bridge was a good idea already no more! The underside of the bridge just touched the highest part of the sloop - where the steering wheel, ignition key and throttle are attached. The whole thing tore off the floor and we drifted on helplessly. The two water stewards floating around there, keeping an eye on us, dragged us to shore with a rope and gave us a "boating ban". After we recovered from the shock on shore at a restaurant, I immediately contracted Jelle and shared the location. Twenty minutes later, he arrived with a smile and some tools and said this could just happen! In no time, he fixed the boat again and guess what? Completely free of charge! What a service people, where do you find that these days! We were able to continue enjoying the water with the same boat.....Absolutely chapeau for this action! We will definitely come back here!
Rented a sloop for 2 days but had never sailed on Frisian waters before. Very friendly and assisted by Jelle. Highly recommended.
Being able to sail a nice route with a nice big sloop. This is enjoyment!
Super location and top company to rent a boat, in our case the Van Vossen 700 Sloep with the whole family. Super fast and fine service, beautiful boat, good clear explanations and competitive prices! Definitely recommended!
Easy to arrange and good support if needed.
I regularly rent a sloop here. I find their service really excellent! Flexible and customer-oriented. Good boats at fair prices, highly recommended!
Nice sloop. The maximum 550. Jelle Explains the cards well.
We would go there again in a heartbeat.
Had a nice day. Fast administrative handling. Sloop in good condition. Next time I will rent a sloop there again.
We had a very nice day with nothing but sunshine.
Sailed a nice route via Ijlst, Jutrijp, Langweer, Sloten, Woudsend and back to Heeg.
A great, centrally located starting point for several scenic routes.
The Maxima 550 is a spacious, comfortable and very trading
bareboat
This is definitely recommended.
Next time we will leave again at Jelle.
And Jelle, thank you voir your relaxed, pleasant welcome and explanation
Her was absolutely Geñieten on the water
Beautiful boat nice landlord helpful was a very nice day definitely do it again
We had a wonderful day with the Maxima 550 on the Frisian water. Suppernette sloop, good explanations and multiple sailing routes. We will definitely come back.
We had hired a sloop the Maxima 550. When we arrived, the owner asked if we also minded taking a larger sloop. This was because there were some defects with the 550. All in all, a successful day, and definitely worth repeating.
good service
The Maxima 550 is highly recommended for those who, like us, like cosy sailing. Of course, the big lakes will do very well too, and then it sails quite smoothly!
We were out for a whole day.
Heeg, Woudsend (via Heegsemeer), Balk (Slotermeer), and then really scenic routes through woods and fields: under Koudum afterar Hindeloopen, through to Workum and back to Heeg via the smallest of sailing routes (narrow and often stooping).
In Heeg, it also only just fitted under a closed drawbridge!
09:00 left, 18:00 back.
Around 15:45h, we left Workum.
Then you have a wonderful route right now 😉
There is time for about an hour and a half to a maximum of two hours of non-sailing. (Terrace or floating around)
If you like lots of small cruising, the Maxima 550 is really recommended for up to 5 people per boat.
Nice sleek boat that is lovely for a group of 12. Sails well and is easy to handle using the bow thruster. Roof against the sun is top, but can also be taken away. Landlord Jelle is relaxed and helps you well.
Very nice day with the big sloop. We were given a route map and passed all kinds of nice villages. Boat looks neat and Jelle is helpful and reacts quickly. We were on Ascension Day, not super warm but doable. Boat he has a roof that you can also fold away. Definitely the worthwhile.
It was fantastic again. A beautiful and nice sloop. Excellent service from Inge and Jelle.
Next year again!
We hired a Máxima 550 for a day, not expensive, well arranged by Jelle. Highly recommended!
For the second year, we enjoyed a Maxima 630 sloop. It is an excellent boat: easy to sail and with plenty of comfort. Most relaxing, however, is the service from Inge and Jelle: essential for a truly relaxing holiday .
We had a lovely day on the water. It was not really warm, but thanks to the Top we were able to sit almost all out of the wind. Great boat to go out for a whole day.
Boat rented from Genieten op het water ..... and it was: ENJOYING! Good explanations, no more than necessary. Good equipment, neat, clean and working. Next year again, but then I hope to go through the Frisian waters with wind in my sails. If I have to go by motor, then I know The road to Heeg. Greetings Maurice
Beautiful and well-maintained sloop that sails wonderfully and is easy to drive.
The service from Genieten op het Water in Heeg is excellent!
Enjoyed
We rented a small boat (Maxima) for 1 day (2 adults + 1 dog) and it was great. Several routes to choose from...super nice area. Worth repeating!
We enjoyed a full day with the Maxima sloop. After a short instruction on how the boat works, the trip started. You sail comfortably and in no time you get used to how the sloop reacts on the water. Because of the shallow draft and height of the boat (provided you're lower the hood) you can really sail anywhere. From Heeg, it's a great starting point for a hefty trip. Watermap and route suggestions plus life jackets are included in the rental price. The rental period for one day from 9:00 to 18:00 is more than enough for an unforgettable day out.
Neat boat, affordable. We enjoyed it. Worth repeating.
Lovely sailing on a Maxima sloop. Fine company!
Beautiful comfortable sloop (Maxima 550), customer-friendly people and excellent service.
We enjoyed the boat trip immensely. It was a beautiful boat. We were given several routes to choose from. Very well organised! The service was super.
Now rented sloop for the third time and my experience is still very good! Good quality materials and very good service with good accessibility ! I will keep coming back
It was wonderful days with Máxima thanks to Jelle. Clean boat. Plenty of fuel, all all in. We enjoyed!!!
Great boat and pleasant service
We had fine cruising with the sloop for 5 people.Enough space for 4 people
Very satisfied with the sloop and the rental company. Pleasant reception and explanation. Boat in good condition and made nice trip.
We had 4 people and thick wind force 4 may with the Aira 22 and are used to a falcon, but this was something else. Great sporty comfortable and fast boat. Spacious enough , 5 /6 adults could certainly have done as well. And yes, if you also extend the bowsprit and put on the Gennaker you can have even more fun with 50 m2 . Together, we found it a very nice experience and we will hear a lot more about this ship. Randmeer , Centaur, Valk are well behind in terms of sailing characteristics and comfort.
We had a wonderful day on the water in beautiful Friesland! The boat ( maxima 550) is new, clean and sails fine. The landlords are helpful and friendly people. We would love to come back again.
For us, the first time we went boating ourselves. An experience with a beautiful boat.....
Evening ask to rent a boat, same evening arranged!
Thank you Jelle! We enjoyed it very much, partly due to the beautiful weather!
We had a welcoming reception and very clear explanation of a beautiful luxury sloop. Excellent price/quality !
Lovely sloop ! Fine sailing characteristics!
Super fun day!super nice and beautiful boat!we enjoyed it!definitely come back again!
Enjoyed cruising the Frisian waters with the Maxima 550. The Alexia looks very nice and neat with lovely seat cushions and enough room for 4 people and a dog. Sailing was good and easy, engine makes quite a bit of noise, but that will be normal. Beautiful routes, nice places to visit and laying. Was a top day! Real holiday feeling😊
We hired maxima 630 on 2 May 2022 with 5 adults and 3 children. Super neat sloop with plenty of seating for everyone. Fridge on board. You are given routes. Great service and very relaxed and approachable staff/owners.
Excellent service. Responded quickly. Sloop was ready to go. Nice people.
Lovely sailing
Highly recommended
We spent 3 days with the Maxima 550 sloop on the Frisian lakes. A fine and clean sloop! Because we had our boathouse close to Jelle & Inge, the sloop was brought and picked up. What a service. Great!
Super customer-friendly both by email and phone and on location. We had a great day on the water with the lovely comfortable sloop Máxima. Enough space for 11 people and 1 dog, and very nice the 2 fridges. Highly recommended!
After clear instructions on how to use the boat and some start-up problems (we hardly had any boating experience), we still managed to have a very nice trip thanks to the clearly marked sailing routes. Really recommended for everyone.
Finally rented a sloop again after 2 years , jelle's fleet still looks neat !!!
What a fun day we had with the Maxima sloop! Thoroughly enjoyed being on the water, super weather and a very nice sloop. Enough space and comfort. Small company, personal and easily accessible. Yes, we will do this more often. until next time!
Sailed the Maxima 750 flying lounge. What a delight. The boat is perfect. Good sailing characteristics. The reception was very relaxed. Fine company. Good parking facilities. Not massive. In short, we had a wonderful day. Highly recommended. We sailed the Sneek route. Highly recommended.
Very nice company to rent a sloop. Very relaxed and pleasant. We will definitely come back here!
Beautiful luxury sloop, neat service and a very nice environment for boating.
Day sailed with the new Maxima 750 sloop and enjoyed it immensely, despite the rain early in the morning (otherwise beautiful weather) lovely spacious sloop, we were 8 adults and sailed a beautiful route.
Pity there is no toilet on board in such a sloop,very seen at wfew public toilets and 5 women on board
By the way, very well taken care of by the owner of this lovely company!
Glamping on the water, really with all mod cons.
Deliciously enjoyed the Frisian waters.
Definitely worth repeating!
Was just great with the Maxima 630.
Jelle gave us a map and info and we sailed a super route through Ijlst Sneek Heeg and 3 more places.
Boat is in top condition, and received clear instructions and tips from Jelle.
We will definitely come back!
Pretty neat sloop that we enjoyed a day in Heeg and Workum. Enjoyed visiting a number of Marrekrite.
My 83-year-old mother never thought she would still be cruising the Frisian Lakes in a boat. But with Genieten op het Water's sloop, it was made possible. Fantastic! Day with a golden edge!
Enjoyed last year just the two of us and therefore now on repeat with the (3 adult) children, so opted for the slightly larger Maxima 630.
Lovely sloop with plenty of space and the bathing platform/staircase was especially appreciated!
Still a few angry bridge officials because we forgot to reduce speed in Sneek and IJlst. And then one is immediately angry while the other solves it with humour. By the way, this sloop has a bow thruster on it, which is pretty handy for amateurs like us 🙂 ).
A great day on the Frisian waters.
Fine little boat, the maxima 550! This allows you to sail the narrower canals too, just a bit more fun!
Great boat and service. Jelle came to bring the boat and pick it up at the campsite. Nice company, really highly recommended!!!
Good young entrepreneurs!!!
Could definitely come back.
We had picked a beautiful day for a tour on a 550 sloop.
Reception and explanations were prime and the boat sailed wonderfully and nice and quiet.
The water charts and itinerary were the icing on the boating cake.
Sneek and IJlst were beautiful places to sail through.
I can heartily recommend the landlord and the area toncommend, Thanks!!!
After the rain in May allowed us to reschedule the appointment and still have a day of sailing yesterday, we really enjoyed ourselves. Boat was ready, cool box was already up to temperature, ticket along and off we went! Great boat, the maximasloop.👍🏻👍🏻
Pleasant reception! Very approachable and....... hospitable! But what a wonderful boat this Aira is for sailing. I was tipped off by a passer-by who shouted at me "never again a falcon!". I thought that was a bit exaggerated but this man was absolutely right. NEVER AGAIN A FALCON.
Aira that sails wonderfully and zit comfortable.
Fine boat, nice sailing and fully equipped. We enjoyed ourselves.
30 May 2021 sailed an as-new sloop with 6 adults and our labradoodles.
Received excellent explanations about the boat and very pleasant reception from the company.
Very nice day had in a sloop by Jelle.
Everything went smoothly and flexibly. Top! Worth repeating.
Pleasant relaxed welcome. Made a wonderful trip. Máxima 550 is a top boat! Roomy enough for 4 adults. Genieten op het water absolutely recommended!
We are now regular customers at Genieten op het Water. Satisfied every time. This time the Maxima 550, also a fine boat.
Last weekend we rented a sloop from Jelle and Inge of 'Genieten op het water' A beautiful sloop and excellent service. The sloop was brought and picked up. Chapeau!
Next year again.
More than satisfied with the welcome, the service the route, the sloop Maxima 550 and the price. We will definitely come back again. Highly recommended!
On 13 and 14 October, we rented the said boat from "Genieten op het water". As agreed, the boat was delivered to our accommodation address already on the 12th. Beautiful boat that met our expectations. It was a gamble so in autumn but nevertheless had a few nice dry days and on Tuesday even sunshine. The boat was then collected again. I recommend this company for renting a sloop.
As a boat owner yourself, you do have a different perspective on rental boats. The rental boat was perfect a great beautiful layout in terms of boat and very user friendly in steering. Neatly finished boat and super clean at start of rental. Can only compliment Jelle ( the owner) on the service and commitment he offers. We will definitely will rent a boat from Jelle again next season ( 2021) and want to try out the bigger version. I can highly recommend Jelle and Genieten op het Water for a hassle-free rental period with super nice boats and service !!!
Last Saturday, we sailed the Maxima 630 sloop with friends (and 2 small children). A very neat and well maintained sloop. Life jackets for the children were thought of.
The service is top notch! From the first contact, you notice Jelle and Inge's commitment and professionalism. Easy and quick communication by app and eand clear explanations of possible sailing routes by e-mail.
We enjoyed the day and will definitely come back again. Highly recommended!
There was a fairly new spacious sloop waiting for us with the windshield up. It was easy to lay flat. Enjoyed sailing this lovely boat the engine could have a bit more power for on the lakes but for cruising perfect. Everything well organised, I would definitely go for this lovely Maxima sloop go.
Interested in the Maxima 620 or 630 (both even ship, just different looks) drove all the way from Rotterdam to Friesland. And not for nothing. Lovely day's sailing. No filling in 100 forms before departure, within 10 minutes you are at the boat already waiting. Brief explanation and you are off. You still get sailing routes and a map. We sailed through small villages as well as Sneek. On lakes it was a bit turbulent and we had to raise the cap again. That was a bit of a puzzle, but we managed in the end. Very nice boat, wonderful trip. Worth repeating. Or buy one yourself 😉
From reservation to return, everything was nicely done. We enjoyed a day on the Frisian water with a Maxima 550. Beautiful surroundings, neat boat, cosy terraces. All in all, a success!
Máxima 630 hired for a day.
Fine boat and not expensive.
Friendly people.
Next year, definitely another (few) times.
Excellent directions on arrival, very friendly staff, excellent explanations, several itineraries provided. Well-maintained boat the maxima 630. Even a refrigerator for refreshments (bring your own) Excellent choice.
What a fine boat that Maxima 550. Perfect for the Frisian lake area. We enjoyed it! Great company and nice people.
Our first introduction to Friesland. Rented a sloop (Maxima 550) for 2 days from " Genieten op het water". Relaxed reception by Jelle and good explanation. On the basis of the maps we were given - and Google Maps comes in handy now and again - we sailed quite a bit. From Heeg to IJlst, Sneek and Woudsend, among other places. Back to Heeg. Wonderful experience. A bit exciting at first because "braking" with a boat like that works a bit differently from a car... 😉 But if you take it easy - and after all, you're on the water for your rest and relaxation - not much can go wrong. Unfortunately, on the second day, the weather gods let us down a bit so the trip was shortened a bit, but definitely worth repeating.
A day of sailing in a fun sloop from "genietenophetwater".
It was supposed to be a fun day, but the rain played tricks on us, but nevertheless, for us, a very fun and spinning cruise!
Thanks!
Gerrit Netto
Neat boat. Landlord nice and loose also on return.
Here's the boat and set sail. Pair of maps along for routes to sail. Definitely recommended.
Last Saturday, the Maxima 550 sloop was hired for a day.
What a super beautiful boat it is. We were very impressed.
We enjoyed ourselves. Definitely worth repeating.
We were also kindly received by the owner and good explanations.
Thanks
We sailed on the Maxima 630 (Willy). A super boat to spend an afternoon on. Fine reception and explanation by Jelle. Also, the water map and routes in the boat helped to complete a nice route.
Last week, we had rented a sloop from enjoy on the water. Because of the weather, we wanted to pick up the boat a bit later, and fortunately this was no problem at all. The sloop was waiting for us, we were given a map with some nice routes, a short instruction about the boat and then we were ready to go. already set sail. We really enjoyed this day on the water and were able to discover Friesland in a completely different way!
Yesterday a lovely day sailing with our 3 adult children, perfect boat, beautiful surroundings for sailing, hustle and bustle,tranquillity everything is there, bring picnic basket and swimming gear, and you have everything within reach for a lovely day
We hired the Maxima 630 for two days to sail with our children and grandchildren.
The first day we were on board with four adults and three children (aged 9 to 14) and sailed the blue route via Sneek
The boat is wonderfully spacious and the grandchildren kept finding different places to sitten. Docking regularly for a pick-nick or for a refreshing splash.
The second day we were three adults and two grandchildren. and sailed the route via scenic route via Balk.
Friendly people to show us around the sloop and advise us on the route.
Highly recommended and we will definitely come back.
Jan van Rijn
We were able to hire a sloop from Jelle at the last minute during the summer holidays. We enjoyed it very much and would recommend it to others.
Great experience with this fun sloop. Sat comfortably and easy to handle.... Everything well organised....
Rented sloop Maxima 550 for a day. Very neat sloop, easy to sail. Fine explanation by Jelle and good tips for the routes.
Sailed 3 different routes with the maxima 550. Well-maintained sloop and easy to operate.
Route map provided. Really fun to do. Recommended downloading the free navigation app WinGPS Marine.
Makes a trip boating even more fun.
We can really recommend "enjoy on the water".
Jelle thanks for the explanation.
We hired (via the website) the sloop Máxima 550 in Heeg from enjoy on the water. They brought the boat to us for a small fee and picked it up again in Offingawier at the end of the week. Now that's service! Very friendly people and a clear explanation of how to use the boat.. In short, highly recommended! We enjoyed ourselves super.....repeatable! Thanks again Jelle and Inge! Gr Menno
Delightful sailing on the sloop Máxima 550.
Good reception. Beautiful boat, easy to sail and nice route tips included. In short, we had two wonderful days with this boat.
Definitely not recommended.
We really had a great afternoon sailing the sloop from "enjoy on the water"! The sloop was very easy to steer and the sloop route we were given was really a must!
The weather forecast was not too good, so there was some doubt. Went anyway and that was a good thing. We enjoyed ourselves! Every now and then a shower, but the boat has a canopy so we just took shelter for 15 minutes and went on. It was the first time for us so we were Pleased with Jelle's warm welcome and calm explanation.
The sloop is beautiful and easy to operate. We sailed the sloop route via Sneek, which is very beautiful and varied. So much to see, the time vpoog past. Good value for money. We will definitely recommend it to friends and acquaintances, and will definitely come back again.
We sailed the maxima 550 for 1 day with our 15- and 17-year-old daughters. We loved the experience! No nagging teenagers that day, but a lovely relaxing day! Highly recommended for everyone.
Despite rainy day, we still enjoyed the beautiful boat and surroundings.
Renting the sloop was easy. Good communication. The sloop looked good and sailed nicely.
Excellent place to rent a sloop for a lovely day of boating.
Sloop was fine.
Clear explanations and maps, will definitely come back again.
Fine address to rent a sloop. Relaxed friendly owner.
Didn't make a big deal out of it if it slipped slightly with time.
Otherwise fine and beautiful sloop!
Easy to book, Jelle is calm in explanation, helps when needed, acts relaxed about coming back. No fuss. Fine boat and motor. We had a lovely day.
Good communication and very nice sloop! Jelle was very flexible in terms of time.
Good boat, relaxed landlord and no problem when we unexpectedly returned a bit later than agreed.
Highly recommended!
Enjoyed a day on the water! Company lives up to its name. Good boats, relaxed atmosphere.
Top boat and very good service.
Easy to book, good reception, quick handling of administration, perfect boat, boarding and lovely day!
Very nice day boat was ready to sail and explanation of the boat was good
Lovely day certainly worth repeating
We super enjoyed the maxima tender 630, named Willy, on Friday afternoon, 8 May 2020.
Besides this tender being very beautiful and sailing nicely, we were also very happy with how the owner is. Very friendly and flexible????
We called on the day if we could rent a sloop for half a day. We could! Beautiful new sloop (Máxima 550) with rain hood which was nice against the wind. Nice round trip with the children (towards Slotermeer). We were able to borrow sailing vests for free. Good service! Great day for a reasonable price. price. Nice that fuel is also included in price. Highly recommended!
Nice boat, nice route, lovely sunny (a bit cold though), super day!
