Food and drinks for the trip
When sailing in a Solarwaterworld Sun Boat or GoBoat, 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 snacks and drinks online from our shop when you book your sailing trip. We'll have it ready for your departure. You can bring your own as well.
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:
Sunboote:
- The wheel is connected to the rudders, which control the boat’s direction.
- 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.
- 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.
To steer a GoBoat, place your dominant hand on the handle. Be aware that the handle steers in the opposite direction of where you are pointing. To sail forward and reverse, twist the handle to the right to sail forward and to the left to reverse.
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.

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.
