Focus on your health

We kindly ask to only rent the boat if you and your friends are feeling well

In order to keep quarantine to a minimum, we’re taking all the necessary precautions to keep the coronavirus from spreading. Any doubts as to whether or not you’re completely healthy? Please refrain from renting our boat and stay home. If you already made a reservation, your sail can be moved to a later date free of charge up to two hours before your sail.

Keep 1,5 meters distance

Luckily our boats offer the perfect solution during this crisis. Rent your own boat without risking any contact with other people. Step on board and enjoy the sun, fresh air and luxury Sloepdelen boats. Please keep the minimum of 1,5 m distance on board and on our jettys.

Max. 4 persons

Luckily it is still possible to sail with your friends and family. If you are one household (for example students or family) you are still allowed to sail with max 12 pers on the same boat. In this case you need to be registered and living at exactly the same adress. If for example all persons are from different households: the maximum persons allowed per boat is 4. If you have any questions or doubts: please call or email us for personal advise.

Don’t overload the public transport

Please visit our locations by bike or take a lovely walk along the canals. Don’t use the public transport if not necessary. In this way you can keep the distance of 1,5m on your way to our locations.

Be sensible

Contact the website of the Dutch Government for the latest Covid-19 information. Please stick to the measures to keep yourself and others safe.
