Why with a skipper
Why with a skipper
In Alphen aan den Rijn there are several places to hire a boat and sail yourself. We do it differently: with us the skipper is included. No boating licence, no deposit, no route planning — you step aboard and it's handled.
That's the difference between hiring a boat and having a day out. The skipper knows the bridges, the shortcuts and the spots where the water is clean enough to swim. You sit with your party instead of behind the wheel.
- No licence needed
- No deposit
- Route by request
- Swim stop on open water

The sloop
Jan van Gent
We sail a Jan van Gent — the sloop Dutch shipyards built their name on. 10.35 metres long, 3.30 wide, nearly silent, and fully equipped: two fridges, heated shower, swim ladder, bluetooth sound system and a cabin with galley.

Where you sail
From the Raadhuisstraat in the centre of Alphen you sail straight onto the Oude Rijn. Within twenty minutes you're in the Green Heart: the Does, the Wijde Aa, the Braassemermeer — and with more time, the Kaag lakes or the Westeinderplassen.
