Welcome aboard

When you arrive, you will be served a cup of coffee or tea in our welcoming reception area, where we can get to know each other.

If you like, we can advise you about possible sailing routes.

Sail through beautiful villages

Luggage on board

After our cup of coffee, it is time to get to your yacht. The motor yachts are located in spacious sheds which have side jetties along their entire length. We have luggage trolleys available to help you get your luggage on board.

As soon as you have brought your luggage on board, you will be given detailed technical instructions and you will be given the chance to briefly try the boat, along with the rest of the crew, so that you can familiarise yourself with your 'private motor yacht'.

Inventory

Our vessels are fully furnished for a pleasant stay on board. The kitchen inventory is geared to the number of persons for which the vessel is rated. Moreover, the vessel carries various cleaning and safety supplies, such as a first-aid kit and a distress signals package. You will be provided with a comprehensive inventory for the yacht you are renting when you make your reservation.

Extras for rent

To make your trip even more comfortable, you can rent some extras. To ensure availability, it is best to book these extras in advance. 

Dinghy

You may want to rent a handy dinghy with an outboard motor. You can use this dinghy to visit places which are inaccessible for large boats, for example the Frisian town of Hindeloopen, which is on the route of the Eleven City Tour. You could also explore the narrow waterways of the Eernewoude nature reserve or the Weerribben. Such trips are, of course, great fun for kids!

Bikes

If you do not want to sail all the time, you may be interested in renting some of our folding bicycles. These are ideal, particularly in Friesland, where there are many 'transfer points' from the waterway to the cycle path networks. A bike is also handy for shopping or for fetching fresh rolls from the local bakery in the mornings.

Household linen

Bed linen is not included on our yachts. You can bring your own duvets or sleeping bags, or you can rent duvets (€ 8 per person). You can also rent bed linen sets, consisting of a duvet, sheet, duvet cover and pillowcase (€ 18,50 per person). Pillows are standard on board. However, you must bring your own bath towels and kitchen towels (or rent some).

Blackwater tanks

Since January 2009, pleasure craft are no longer allowed to discharge toilet waste into the surface water. For more than 25 years already, our boats have been equipped with waste water tanks, a move our customers have greatly appreciated.

If marinas have more than 50 mooring places, they are obliged to have at least one waste water extraction unit. You will find a list of these facilities on board our vessels. A waste water extraction unit is also available in our marina, meaning that, when you return from your trip, you can empty the waste water tank while refuelling.
