Yacht rental in Belgium
Belgium is located in the heart of Europe. It is washed by the English Channel with many sailing and motor yachts. Belgium has the largest port in Europe — Newport.
- The main difference between Belgium and other yacht resorts is the proximity of the European countries along the sea routes. In Belgium, you can go on a yacht trip to the UK, Scotland, or France. For example, a route might look like this: Newport (Belgium) — Dunkerque (France) — Dover (England) — Ramsgate (England) — Harwich (England). Another option for a yacht tour: Zeebruges (Belgium) — Vlissingen (Netherlands) — Veerse Meer (Netherlands) — Breskens (Netherlands) — Zeebrugge (Belgium).
- Belgium is for those who don’t like tropical climate. During the yachting season, which lasts from May to September, the air temperature doesn’t rise above 22 °C, and the water doesn’t exceed 18 °C.
- The coastline of Belgium is small, there are almost no natural harbors. But in many coastal cities (Brussels, Ostend, Antwerp, Zeebrugge) there are ports, yacht clubs and services for yacht rental, cleaning and repairing.
- Every year in the city of Dinan there’s an unusual regatta called the International Bath Regatta. The main rule of the regatta is to make a creative swimming tool. A bath tube should be a part of it. The use of engines is prohibited.
