Tips for a Successful Day Sailing on Lake Veere

Whether you are an experienced captain or behind the wheel of a sloop for the first time, these tips will make your day on the water a great success. Leave your worries behind and let's get this adventure started!
Preparation is the Key
Before you hire the sloop and hit the water, there are a few things you definitely don't want to forget:
- Food and drink: What's a day on the water without a well-stocked cooler? Make sure you have plenty of snacks - think tasty sandwiches, crunchy fruit and some drinks to keep yourself hydrated. And for the adult adventurers: maybe a nice beer or a sparkling rosé to soak up the sun in style!
- Sunscreen: The sun can be merciless, especially if you are on the water. Don't forget to moisturise, otherwise you'll end up with a burnt nose and you really don't want that. We don't want a "tomato on the water"!
- Towels and swimwear: Going to take that plunge? Then don't forget to bring your swimwear and towels. Lake Veere has plenty of spots to make a refreshing splash. And believe me, you don't want to jump into your clothes!
Safe Sailing is Essential
Yes, yes, I know: safety sounds boring, but it's super important! Even if slooping is not a water sport, you want to keep both feet on the ground. Here are some tips to keep you safe on the water:
- Life jackets for kids: We have life jackets available for children. Just let us know if you plan to sail with the little ones, and we will make sure they are ready for you. For adults: use your common sense and stay with the sloop!
- Stick to traffic rules: Yep, rules apply on the water too. Make sure you don't race across the lake like a rabid dog. Respect other boats and keep enough distance. You don't want anyone else calling you 'captain clunker'!
- Check the weather: Before you leave, it's smart to view the weather forecast. You don't want unexpected showers or storms. A sunny day is much more fun than a day with a downpour!
The Best Time to Sail
When you go boating on Lake Veere, the time of day can make a world of difference. Here are a few suggestions:
- Early Morning: The morning is the perfect time to go out on the water. It is lovely and quiet and you can enjoy the beautiful sunrise. Bring your breakfast and make it a cosy time!
- Late Afternoon: If you like a romantic atmosphere, go boating later in the day. The sunset provides beautiful colours and great views. Don't forget your camera, because you'll want to share this!
