Questions & Answers

Who are Slow Fox and Slow Fox Boat Rental?

Hostess Esther and host Stefan earned their stripes in the hospitality industry. Now we share our years of passion for boating with you on the luxurious yacht Slow Fox – a Sessa Oyster 35 with Italian design. Not a private rental, but professionals with the experience to completely pamper you.

Do I need a boating license?

No, that is not necessary. The Slow Fox is always rented out including an experienced captain. So you just have to board and enjoy.

Can I bring my own food/drinks?

To ensure the exclusive experience, we provide the catering on board. Bringing your own refreshments is therefore not permitted. View our catering options for the menu.

What if it rains?

The Slow Fox has a spacious canopy (convertible top). So in rain, wind, or bright sun, you sit comfortably and dry.

How many people can join?

There is room for a maximum of 8 guests on board, excluding the crew. However, for the ultimate experience of space and luxury, we recommend a group of up to 6 people.

Are pets allowed?

Unfortunately not. To protect the hygiene and high quality of our luxury interior and teak decks, we cannot allow pets on board. We appreciate your understanding.

Are children allowed on board?

Certainly! Children are very welcome to enjoy a day on the water with their parents. However, to guarantee the peace and exclusive condition of our yacht, we do not host children's parties. We ask parents to ensure a calm atmosphere.

Can we go high-speed boating?

Although the Slow Fox has powerful engines, we mainly sail in calm areas. The nearest high-speed zone (IJsselmeer) is about a 3.5-hour cruise from our boarding point. Therefore, we focus entirely on relaxed cruising and enjoying the surroundings.

When is the sailing season?

Our sailing season runs from early April to mid-October. Please note that the weather plays an important role, especially in spring and autumn. We recommend keeping an eye on the forecast.

Is a deposit required?

After your reservation, you will receive a contract with all details, including a request for a non-refundable deposit of 25% of the total amount.

Where do we board?

The standard boarding location is Marina de Woudhaven (Kogerpolder 1a, De Woude). In consultation, another location on the Alkmaardermeer or in the surrounding area is possible.
