Summary

The skipper leads the crew and is responsible for all operations on board.

Detailed description

Depending on the number of trips and your own availability, you will sail several times a month during the season from April to October.

The skipper is a volunteer on the Blauwe Bever but must also meet a number of (legal) requirements to be allowed to sail our beautiful ship.


You must be in possession of a Large Inland Navigation Certificate or a valid Rhine patent. In addition to the fact that the skipper must also undergo periodic medical examinations, he/she must be in possession of a First Aid Provider (EHV) declaration and a Passenger Shipping Expert Declaration (DPV). The training for this is paid for by the Rijnoevervaarten Foundation.

Of course there is a training period depending on knowledge and experience to get to know the ship. In April and May De Blauwe Bever mainly sails once in the weekend and then several days a week, with the exception of Mondays. In the high season (July and August) we sail almost daily.

About Stichting Rijnoevervaarten

De Stichting Rijnoevervaarten exploiteert sinds 2017 het Safarischip De Blauwe Bever. Wij zorgen, door aantrekkelijke vaartochten, voor het behoud van de natuurbeleving op de Nederrijn en de Lek en in aangrenzende natuurgebieden en cultuur-historische monumenten. Wij hebben als doel het organiseren van belevenisvaarten en excursies in de delta van de Nederrijn en Lek tussen Arnhem en Culemborg, aan de voet van Nationaal Park de Utrechtse Heuvelrug, de Grebbeberg, de Wageningse berg en langs de Nieuwe Hollandse Waterlinie. Sinds de oprichting van de Stichting Rijnoevervaarten wordt de organisatie rond De Blauwe Bever gerund door vele vrijwilligers. Tijdens het vaarseizoen zetten zij zich met hart en ziel in om de passagiers optimaal te laten genieten van ons vaarprogramma. In de wintermaanden verrichten zij zo nodig hand en spandiensten bij het technisch onderhoud.
