Sailing posts

On the water, it is important to be well-informed on the way.

For example, there are various factors on the water that can influence a voyage, operating times of bridges and locks, the weather and tides. To help you on your way, here you will find sailing reports and practical information about pleasure cruising.

Sailing your ship to the sales port

In order to sell your ship, we would like to have the ship always in or near our busy sales ports. These harbours are always next to large waterways so easily accessible for most ships. If you need help to sail your ship to the sales port please contact the nearest broker, he will sail with you or refer you to someone who can help you.

On the move with your new ship

The first voyage with your new ship is always exciting. Then you like to be well prepared. Where can I moor, what do I encounter at bridges and locks? That is why we have put together a number of handy web pages for you to prepare you for your first voyage.

Below you will find a few handy links with information you may need when sailing to and from your yacht broker:

Regulations for pleasure craft

After purchasing a new ship, there are a number of things that need to be checked. Convenient to insure the ship, your broker can send you an offer without any obligation. From the moment you take over the ship it is also your risk and a good insurance is wise. In addition, some ships need to be registered. If your ship falls under the registration requirement you can read the following link: Ship registration.

Sailing licence and VHF certificate

If you have a VHF on board you will need a VHF certificate. If your new ship is a fast motorboat, shorter than 20 metres and can sail faster than 20 kilometres per hour, or a pleasure boat with a length of 15 to 25 metres, then you need to be in possession of a sailing certificate.
