Food and drinks for the trip

When sailing in a Solar Water World Sun Boat, it's always a good idea to bring food and drinks on board. A little picnic at sea makes your time on the water more enjoyable.

You're always welcome to bring your own, but to make it a little easier, you can easily order food and drinks online from our friends at Mutter Lustig when you book your sailing trip. And just before the sail out time you go and pick up the food yourself.

How to be a good captain

Steering a Suncat boat with a wheel is similar to driving a car but on water. Here’s how to do it in a simple way:

Hold the wheel

  • Place your hands on the wheel, just like a car.
  • The wheel is connected to the rudders, which control the boat’s direction.

Turn the wheel to steer

  • Turn right → The boat moves right (starboard).
  • Turn left → The boat moves left (port).
  • The boat does not turn instantly like a car—it takes a little time to respond.

Adjust speed for better steering

  • Use the throttle (speed control) to move forward or slow down.
  • Steering works best when the boat is moving. If you're going too slow, turning will take longer.

Keep a watchful eye on other boaters, swimmers ans SUP boards and always observe the direction of travel, react in good time as a boat cannot turn or brake very quickly. Always keep on the right, just like a road.

Spread the good vibes and wave to other sailors and passers-by on the quay.

Safety while sailing a Suncat

When you sail with Solarwaterworld, safety is our number one priority, both for you and other users of the harbor. That's why it's important that you feel well prepared for your trip on the water. When you book, you'll get even more specific instructions, both digitally and before departure from our crew.

Watch the safety video to be as prepared as possible so you know about safe boating, rules, how to control the boat and general safe behavior.

Benefits of sailing

Water has a unique ability to calm the mind and strengthen the body and soul. The lapping of the sea and the fresh air reduces stress, energizes and promotes health. Whether you're swimming, sailing or walking, water creates a balance that is likely to improve your quality of life.

How to be a good captain

To steer a GoBoat, place your dominant hand on the handle. Be aware that the handle steers in the opposite direction of where you point. To sail forward and backward, twist the handle to the right to move forward and to the left to reverse.

Keep a vigilant eye on other vessels and always adhere to the direction of travel. React in good time as a boat cannot turn or brake particularly quickly. As a general rule, keep to the right - as in traffic.

The yellow buoys indicate shallow water, so please keep a distance from these areas to prevent the boat from getting stuck.

Spread the good vibes and wave to other sailors and passersby on the quay.

Company and private events with GoBoat

Make your next company event, Friday drinks, summer party, birthday celebration or other social event an unforgettable experience on the water with your colleagues and friends.
