This is about 60 miles: are you sure you need 3 days?

What are the requirements ( licences ) for inland waters in Holland? There are specific rules and requirements for this?

[Danny]

It's about 80 miles. On Saturday we have the Poker Run. After the poker run we have a party on a ship. On sunday we go to a beach nearby with al the boats to have some more fun. People can talk about their boats and the Poker Run. On monday we go back.

For inland waters we need registration of the boat and a license. I don't know how the rules in your country are but that license and registration will work here as well.

Your boat need to be at least 20 feet and should be able to run at least 50 mph.
Then there are also the rules from the government. You need to have an fire extuingisher, life jackets for every person in the boat,

It's not a race, it's a Poker Run, a well organized safe boating event.

I'd guess that SSR for the boat and ICC (inland waters) for the driver would do the trick.

Rules? For boating in this country?

In the UK and UK waters, you do not need any licence, nor any registration of the boat.

Most people do have their boats SSR'd and about 1/3 will have an ICC.

Coool.
