  • Small Vaarbewijs 2: allows sailing on the open sea and large inland waters such as the Oosterschelde and Westerschade estuaries, the IJsselmeer and the Waddenzee.

Is it possible to charter a yacht without a license?

The answer is yes. In most cases, especially in the case of boats rented by the hour, it is possible to request a motorboat without a license.

Before departure, the boat owner will give you a detailed explanation of the boat itself and the surroundings, as well as advice on the best mooring areas and tourist sites not to be missed.

If you are inexperienced, or still do not feel comfortable on board, you can request the presence of a skipper, or inquire about some theory and practice courses, so that you can steer the helm on board during your next vacation.

When it comes to sailboats, experience is necessary and should be demonstrated, as steering the boat itself can be more complex and risky, depending on the winds.
