Frequently Asked Questions

We always rent the boat with a boat master, so no, you don’t have to know how to sail.

 

The captain is always on board, and under his supervision, you can take over the wheel.

 

You can easily be on board with 8 persons, skipper not included. When you are with a larger group, this is not a problem. We appeal on colleagues, and use extra boats. We arrange the administration ourselves.

 

Under the supervision of their parents or guardian, children are surely welcome on board. A life jacket is provided and acquired to wear.

 

By causes of hygiene, animals are not allowed on board.

 

During the trip we can provide you with cooled beverages and nibbles on board against reasonable prices. If you have any specific wishes or commands, let us know.

 

We have some nibbles on board, but we don’t serve any meals. So you can surely bring your own lunches on board.

 

We can sail from April till October. During the winter the boat leaves the water for maintenance.

 

When the weather is really bad, it rains, or there is a thick fog we do not sail out. At least one day in advance we decide by mutual agreement to move the arrangement to a later date, free of charge.

 

Just like on the road , every waterway has its own limitations of speed. At the touristic Lys we can’t produce waves because the shores are not consolidated. So the skipper adjusts its speed. At the ringcanal we may push the limit.

 

When there are locks on our trip (only in the day trip), there is need for  an extra helping hand. Mostly we ask our guests to help a little with the ropes, when this is not an option we have to provide an extra crew member and additional costs.  

 

In contradiction to other companies, we have an all-inn price! This price includes fuel, boat master, taxes and VAT. So you will never have an unpleasant surprise afterwards.

Only the beverages, the refreshments on board and the costs at the restaurants are not included in the price.
