| Check-in and captain's course |
When you arrive, our harbour team will show you around your houseboat – your home for the holiday. Then we take care of the paperwork together: signing the rental agreement and the boat checklist, and paying the refundable security deposit of €2,500. After that comes your 1-hour captain's course. No boating experience is needed: we teach you everything you need to know about handling the boat and its equipment, and plan the route with you according to your wishes. Ask us about the best nature spots! Download our Captain's Handbook in advance so you can start preparing for your trip. |
| Security deposit |
A refundable security deposit of €2,500 is payable in cash or by credit card on the first day of the rental. If the deposit is not paid, we reserve the right to cancel the rental without refund. The deposit is returned in full at the end of the rental if the boat has not been damaged. |
