Sailing Licence? Not necessary!
In The Netherlands you don’t need a licence for a motorboat which is less than 15 metres long and doesn’t go faster than 20 km per hour.
Obviously it is important that you are aware of the boating regulations. These can be found on our website under "Cruising Rules on the Water".
Novice Sailors
For novices we have a number of instructors who can teach you to be a good helmsman within three to five hours. The crew also receives instruction about mooring and how to deal with this technique, including handling ropes. We do charge for this instruction so please ask about the costs.
According to Albert Hendriks from Tourist Information Friesland-Holland: "Boating is not difficult. You must remain calm, especially when manoeuvring in ports and in the locks. Forget the speed of a car. Most sailors must first become acclimatised; get used to a different but friendly atmosphere, the fresh air and peace in a setting surrounded by nature and history."
Bicycle on Board!
A bicycle/boating holiday is an active, relaxing and comfortable way of enjoying your break.
Live comfortably aboard your own "private" boat and cruise the beautiful waterways of Friesland.
Combine this with the many cycle routes through the most beautiful regions of Friesland and you
will experience an unforgettable holiday.
GJS Yacht Charter offers families, couples or groups these unique, active and relaxing bicycle-cruises
on and around the waterways of Friesland.
Our website offers many ideas and tips for your bicycle trips from our hire boats. We like to help our clients to plan their holidays; do not hesitate to contact us by phone or email.
A bicycle on board is ideal for reaching all the beautiful places in the area. A bicycle is also handy for shopping or visiting a museum, amusement park or ‘oasis’-style indoor pool.
