Boating with children, from what age?

Many parents wonder from what age their little ones may come on the boat. The answer is pleasingly simple.

Children may come at any age

We have no age limit: children may come along from any age when accompanied by an adult. And the most important thing for safety is covered, we keep life jackets in every size, so also for the very little ones.

How the trip stays relaxed with children

  • A life jacket for every child, just ask for one on site.
  • Choose calm weather: with a lot of wind it quickly gets tiring with children.
  • Better to start short, half an hour or an hour is often enough for younger children.
  • Pack sun protection, a sun hat and enough to drink.
  • Bring a change of clothes for wet feet.

The most stable boat for small children

With small children a pedal boat is ideal: it sits calm in the water, hardly wobbles and the children can sit safely while you pedal. Which other boat suits your family, we've summarised in our family guide.
