No boating experience and no boating licence needed Of course it is useful if you have some boating experience and knowledge of wind and weather conditions. Because every boat is different and behaves slightly differently, we give everyone a technical instruction. The technical instruction takes place when we hand over the boat to you, during the check-in. We will go for a short boating session for you and your crew to get to know the yacht well.
When you have no to little boating experience, that's no problem. We do ask you to mention this in advance and to book a ‘boating refreshment hour’ or ‘2 hours’. Do you have no experience at all or only boating experience with a sloop? Then we recommend you to book a ‘boating refreshment of 2 hours’.
On the day of arrival, you will practice boating and manoeuvring on your charter boat. You will be instructed on how to moor the boat, how to use the bow- and stern thruster, how the crew can best help the skipper, etc. By booking a ‘boating refreshment hour’ or ‘boating refreshment 2 hours’, your boating holiday in Friesland can start safely and relaxed!

Is it easy to steer a boat? Operating a boat is not difficult, boating is something you have to learn. If you have little or no boating experience, we recommend that you charter a boat that has an electric bow- and stern thruster. For manoeuvres such as mooring, keeping the boat in position or turning it, the bow- and stern thrusters are ideal tools as they provide a boost to port or starboard.
All the 'Natural Yachts' boats are equipped with a bow- and stern thruster or a turnable propeller. The turnable propeller has the same functionality as a stern thruster.
