SAILING WITHOUT A LICENCE: NO PROBLEM ON THE VEERSE MEER

Fancy a chill day on the water without having to get a boating licence first? No problem! At Sloepverhuur het Veerse Meer you can step on board in no time, without any hassle. Whether you are an experienced captain or taking the helm for the first time - here you can sail without a licence. Nice and relaxed, wind in your hair, sun on your face, drink in hand... sounds good, right?

Boating without a licence: how does it work?

Can you just take to the water without a licence? Yes you can! There are just a few simple rules you need to follow. For instance, your sloop must not be able to go faster than 20 km per hour (but trust me, our sloops are more for chilling than racing). And the boat cannot be longer than 15 metres. Don't worry, you won't get a Titanic under your ass here. You do have to be 18 years or older, so don't forget to bring your ID!

Why boating without a licence is top

The biggest advantage? No hassle with exams or boating lessons. You can just take to the water. At Sloepverhuur het Veerse Meer, we arrange everything for you. You will get a short, clear explanation before departure, and then you can go without any stress. Whether you come with your friends, family or partner, everyone can do it!

In addition, boating without a licence is also budget-friendly. That's because you save on expensive boating courses and certificates. All you need is a little sunshine (okay, we don't arrange that) and a little good sense. And hey, who doesn't want to float with a beautiful view?

Lake Veere: your playground on the water

Safety without fuss

OK, it is of course super fun to go out on the water without a licence, but safety is still important. Fortunately, our sloops are equipped with everything you need. Think life jackets, sailing instructions and the necessary gear. So you go out on the water relaxed and safe.

Also, always keep an eye on the weather forecast before you leave. Nobody wants an unexpected downpour or strong wind. So always check Weatheronline before leaving the port, so you won't be surprised.

Tips for a great day on the water

A few tips to make your day extra fun:

1. Bring sunscreen! On the water, you burn faster than you think, so put on sunscreen.
2. Food & drink: A well-stocked cooler will make your day complete. Whether you go for a picnic or some snacks, make sure you have enough with you.
3. Music: Make a nice summer playlist. Music on, sun on your face... life is good.
