Boating Rules
01.
If you notice any damage or malfunction when starting your rental, please report it to the rental company.
02.
You must be 18 years or older to rent a boat from us.
03.
You should already have some experience with how an engine works and how to operate a motorboat. You must be familiar with boating rules.
04.
Please avoid causing noise disturbances (such as loud music) or any other nuisance.
05.
Watch your wake. Even at low speed, your boat can create waves that disturb others!
06.
You may travel at a maximum of 9 km/h on open water. Elsewhere, the speed limit is 6 km/h. Again, it’s not just about your speed — pay attention to the waves you leave behind.
07.
As the captain of a motorboat, the same rules apply as in traffic: no alcohol or drugs while driving! You may lose your driving license if caught under the influence.
08.
In case of extreme weather, cancellations are allowed free of charge. If you book well in advance, please confirm about three days ahead whether you wish to proceed with the rental. The rental company may also decide not to rent boats in bad weather.
09.
We may ask for a deposit when you reserve a boat.
10.
If you rent the boat for multiple days and go out during dusk or darkness, you must provide your own lighting.
11.
Dogs are allowed on board. If your boat has seats with cushions, please cover them. A surcharge of €7.50 applies for bringing a dog.
12.
The boat must be returned clean and tidy before 6:00 PM. If there's no cleaning cloth in the boat, feel free to ask for one. You can also request a cleaning service at the start of the rental for €17.50.
13.
You may park one car per boat with us. If you come with more vehicles, please use the carpool parking areas. If you're early, you might find extra parking along the road or at Zandeiland 4.
14.
Upon return, the rental company may inspect the boat, ropes, and motor. If there’s damage or fishing line in the motor, please report this.
15.
If something happens during your trip, you can reach us at 06 - 200 707 25. If there's no answer, please leave a message with your phone number and we will call you back as soon as possible.
We wish you a pleasant day. If you have any comments or feedback about the boat, please let us know!
