Bij Ghesia boek je eenvoudig een boot, jetski of wateractiviteit bij een lokale, gecontroleerde verhuurpartner op jouw bestemming. Hieronder lees je in het kort waar je rekening mee moet houden voordat je het water op gaat. De exacte eisen maken deel uit van de huurovereenkomst die je bij het boeken rechtstreeks met de verhuurpartner aangaat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n

Boating licence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Smaller motorboats (usually up to a certain engine power) often don\u2019t require a licence. For larger boats and most jet skis a valid licence is usually mandatory. This varies by country, destination and type of vessel \u2013 if in doubt, simply choose a boat with a skipper and no licence is needed.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n\n

Age<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The minimum age to drive yourself is usually between 16 and 18, depending on the country and type of vessel. Younger children are often welcome as passengers or on a trip with a skipper.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n\n

ID & deposit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Always bring a valid ID (and your boating licence, if required). Most rental partners also ask for a deposit, which you get back in full after a trouble-free trip.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n\n

Insurance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our rental partners operate insured boats and jet skis in line with local laws and regulations. The exact cover, the excess and the insurance conditions are part of the rental agreement you enter into directly with the rental partner when booking. Read more about liability in our General Terms (NL)<\/a> (article 10), or ask our customer service.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
