Prepare your Van Vossen boat for summer – ready for the boating season
The days are getting longer, temperatures are rising and the boating season is approaching. This is the perfect time to get your Van Vossen boat ready for summer. Preparing your boat properly helps prevent problems on the water so you can enjoy long, sunny days afloat without worry.
Why preparing your boat for summer matters
A boat has often been idle over winter. Dirt, moisture and temperature changes can affect both its equipment and appearance. By thoroughly checking and maintaining your Van Vossen boat, you extend its lifespan and help everything operate safely and reliably when cruising.
Step 1: clean and inspect the boat
A good start to the boating season begins with thorough cleaning. Clean the hull, deck and cockpit to remove dirt, algae and deposits.
Important areas to check and clean:
- The hull and underwater hull
- Anodes fitted to the hull and motor
- The deck
- Mooring lines and fenders
Checking these parts carefully keeps your Van Vossen boat in top condition.
You can clean the hull and deck with a pressure washer.
You can also choose to give the hull an additional clean with a hull-bottom cleaner.

Step 2: check the motor and technical equipment
A properly functioning motor is essential for the new boating season. Always check the main technical components before taking to the water again.
Check the following, among other things:
- All connectors
- Battery terminals for corrosion or deposits
- Moisture in the motor compartment
These checks help prevent faults so you can head out on the water with confidence.
