New boats: even more choice and comfort

Since the beginning of 2017 we have several new types of boats and sloops.  If there are 5 of you, there’s the new Lago Amore 540. For groups of 6, there’s the Interboat 17. For groups of 10/12, we have the luxury sloop Waterspoor 630. All sloops and boats are comfortably equipped so that you can enjoy yourself to the full. We also have plenty to offer for larger groups, for example for team building or a bachelor party.

All boats now also have a round 12V socket (no USB connection) so that you can always charge a smartphone or plug in your electric cool box.

Take the helm yourself without a care

Go boating with your friends, colleagues or family for a few hours or a full day on the charming River Leie. You’ll peacefully pass beautiful gardens and the painters’ villages of St.-Martens-Latem and Deurle.

It is also possible to explore the historic centre of Ghent with the cabrio boats and luxury sloops (not with the ’standard boats’). Due to heavy boat traffic in the centre of Ghent sailing experience is recommended. That’s why everyone sails on the River Leie first and only then in the centre of Ghent.
