Înregistrarea firmei

Before starting, every business must register in the Crossroads Bank for Enterprises (KBO/BCE) through an approved business counter (ondernemingsloket / guichet d'entreprises) of its choice.
Textul original
“Vooraleer haar activiteiten te starten, is elke onderneming gehouden zich bij een ondernemingsloket naar keuze in te schrijven in de Kruispuntbank van Ondernemingen in de hoedanigheid van inschrijvingsplichtige onderneming.”
Autorizații pentru închirierea ambarcațiunilor
-
There is no specific federal rental licence, but the Royal Decree of 25 April 2004 on 'active leisure events' (actieve ontspanningsevenementen) covers paid services where the consumer takes part actively, makes a physical effort and needs some skill to do the activity safely. Guided SUP or kayak sessions clearly fit; it is not confirmed whether bare rental does. Covered organisers must do a written risk analysis before offering the activity.
Textul original
“actief ontspanningsevenement: een dienst waarbij een activiteit wordt aangeboden door een organisator, aan één of meerdere consumenten, ter vermaak en/of ter ontspanning, waarbij de consument : a) actief dient te participeren, en b) lichamelijke inspanningen dient te leveren, en c) een bepaalde kennis, vaardigheid of techniek dient aan te wenden die noodzakelijk is om de activiteit op een veilige manier te kunnen uitvoeren.”
-
At the coast (zones 3–5), group activities with pleasure craft, surf craft, canoes, kayaks or pedalos need a permit from the Shipping Control (Scheepvaartcontrole, FPS Mobility) at least 3 weeks in advance. Groups staying within half a nautical mile of the low-water line, except races, only need to be notified, unless they cross a harbour channel. This does not apply to motorboats and other motorised groups.
Textul original
“Groepsactiviteiten met pleziervaartuigen, tuigen voor brandingsporten, kano's, kajaks, gondels en waterfietsen in de wateren onder Belgische jurisdictie in de zones 3, 4 en 5 worden aangevraagd bij de scheepvaartcontrole uiterlijk 3 weken voor aanvang van de activiteit”

-
At sea, the federal Shipping Control designates launch zones (insteekzones) for surf sports, canoes and kayaks, plus swimming, safety and buffer zones. The part between the low-water line and the beach is zoned by the local and regional authorities (coastal municipalities, Flemish Region), so beach use for a rental base is a municipal / Flemish matter.
Textul original
“De scheepvaartcontrole zorgt ervoor dat de zones aansluiten bij de zones zoals die door de lokale en regionale autoriteiten werden bepaald voor het gedeelte tussen de laagwaterlijn en het strand.”
-
No craft covered by these coastal rules (surf craft, jet skis, canoes, kayaks) may be used beyond 2 nautical miles, in swimming, buffer or safety zones, or in coastal harbours. Surf sports, canoes and kayaks are also banned between sunset and sunrise unless the Shipping Control grants an exemption.
Textul original
“Het is verboden om brandingsporten te beoefenen en kano's en kajaks te gebruiken tussen zonsondergang en zonsopgang.”
-
At the coast, jet skis must go to sea from a harbour and are not allowed in launch zones, swimming, buffer or safety zones, unless the Shipping Control allows them in a launch zone.
Textul original
“Waterscooters kunnen vanuit een haven zee kiezen en zijn niet toegelaten in de insteekzone, de zwemzone, de bufferzone en de veiligheidszone.”
Obligațiile tale ca operator

Required safety equipment for pleasure craft, jet skis, surf craft and (at the coast) kayaks: see VesselSOS Kit Finder (/kit-finder/), based on the Ministerial Decree of 12 November 2020 and the Royal Decree of 28 June 2019.
Textul original
“Ministerieel besluit van 12 november 2020 betreffende de verplichte en aanbevolen uitrusting in het kader van pleziervaart”
-
Where the active-leisure decree applies: carry out a risk analysis, set prevention measures (supervision, information, staff training, checking participants' skill), appoint a person in charge on site, give participants the organiser's name, address and the skills required, and report every serious incident or accident to the FPS Economy right away. A 'use at your own risk' notice is forbidden.
Textul original
“Het vermelden van de waarschuwing " Gebruik op eigen risico " of elke andere gelijkaardige vermelding is verboden.”
-
The prevention measures listed in the decree include supervision and guidance, information, staff training and checking participants' knowledge and skill. These are the basis of a pre-rental briefing and a skills check.
Textul original
“Deze preventiemaatregelen omvatten onder andere : 1° technische maatregelen; 2° organisatorische maatregelen; 3° toezicht en begeleiding; 4° informatieverstrekking; 5° opleiding van medewerkers; 6° controle van de kennis, vaardigheid en techniek van de deelnemers.”
-
Kayak and canoe users at the coast must wear buoyancy aids within launch zones (up to ¼ nautical mile). Further out, they need clothing suited to the sea temperature plus a buoyancy aid or lifejacket, and a means of sending a distress signal on board. Jet ski riders must always wear a lifejacket.
Textul original
“in de insteekzones binnen een kwart zeemijl: de gebruikers moeten zwemvesten dragen, geschikt voor gebruik door de opvarenden”
Reguli de vârstă și permis pentru clienți
-
No licence is needed in zone 0 (closed waters named by the Minister). In zones 1–2 (inland waters connected to the sea, Lower Sea Scheldt), and since 2022 in zones 3–7 (coast and sea), no licence is needed unless the craft is used for business or professional purposes, can go faster than 20 km/h under engine, or is longer than 15 m. Licence-free rental is therefore possible for slow, short motorboats, subject to the business-use question below.
Textul original
“Er is geen vaarbevoegdheidsbewijs nodig in de zones 1 en 2, tenzij het pleziervaartuig: 1° wordt ingezet voor bedrijfs- of beroepsmatig gebruik, of 2° door motor voortbewogen, sneller dan 20 kilometer per uur kan varen, of 3° een romplengte groter dan 15 meter heeft.”
-
Licences: the beperkt stuurbrevet (restricted helmsman's licence) is valid in zones 0–1. The algemeen stuurbrevet (general licence) is valid in zones 0–4, which covers coastal harbours and the sea up to 6 nautical miles.
Textul original
“1° het beperkt stuurbrevet dat geldig is in de zone 0 en 1; 2° het algemeen stuurbrevet dat geldig is in de zones 0, 1, 2, 3 en 4;”
-
At sea (zones 3–7), the driver of a craft longer than 15 m or faster than 20 km/h must be at least 18, but a jet ski driver must be at least 16.
Textul original
“Voor het besturen van pleziervaartuigen met een romplengte van meer dan 15 meter of die sneller dan 20 kilometer per uur (op motor) kunnen varen in de zones 3 tot en met 7, moet de bestuurder minimum 18 jaar zijn. In afwijking van het vorige lid, moet de bestuurder van een waterscooter minimum 16 jaar zijn”

The Royal Decree says all craft need to be registered so that the owner can be identified. Registration is applied for electronically with the administration (FPS Mobility, DG Maritime Transport). The application must state whether the craft will be used for business or professional purposes, and a company gives its enterprise number.
Textul original
“Om een degelijk handhavingsbeleid te kunnen voeren is het noodzakelijk dat alle vaartuigen geregistreerd zijn met het oog op de identificatie van de eigenaar.”
-
Information required in the registration application includes whether the craft will be used for business or professional purposes. Rental fleets should declare this.

The federal pleasure-craft decree splits waters into zones: 0 = closed waters named by the Minister; 1 = inland waters connected to the sea (except the Lower Sea Scheldt); 2 = Lower Sea Scheldt; 3 = coastal harbours; 4 = beach to 6 nautical miles; 5–7 = further offshore. The coastal rules for surf craft, jet skis and kayaks (chapter 7) apply only at sea.
Textul original
“1° zone 0: de niet met de zee verbonden afgesloten wateren die door de Minister nominatief worden aangeduid; 2° zone 1: alle met de zee verbonden binnenwateren met uitzondering van de Beneden-Zeeschelde; 3° zone 2: de Beneden-Zeeschelde; 4° zone 3: de havens van de kust; 5° zone 4: de zone vanaf het strand tot 6 zeemijl;”

At the coast, the Governor of West Flanders can temporarily ban surf sports, jet skis, canoes and kayaks along the whole coast or in parts of it, for safety or health reasons.
Textul original
“Een algeheel verbod op de categorieën pleziervaart van dit hoofdstuk aan de ganse Belgische kust, of op bepaalde plaatsen aan de Belgische kust, kan worden opgelegd door de gouverneur van de Provincie West-Vlaanderen.”
