Boating season has begun!

Organise a graduation party at Minerva

It feels great to have graduated. No more exam stress and the much needed piece of paper finally in your pocket. That also deserves a party!

A graduation party at Minerva Boat Company is a guarantee of fun for everyone!

At Minerva Boat Company you can hire boats and luxury sloops for 4 to 12 people. You take the helm yourself. So you can fully enjoy each other’s company and the picturesque surroundings of the River Leie in and around Ghent. You are welcome to decorate the boat, but be careful not to use any decoration that gives off colour in contact with water.

Rules & Catering

To keep our boats and luxury sloops in perfect condition, we only ask you to respect a number of minimum agreements: no pets and no drunken captains or passengers. Swimming in the River Leie is also prohibited.

Of course it’s allowed to bring food and drinks (in moderation) with you on the boats and luxury sloops. Note: do not bring any oil-containing products with you!

The combination of a boat trip with a visit to one of the wonderful restaurants along the route is also an option. Feel free to contact us about the possibilities regarding catering.

Book your boat trip now!

Minerva has a fleet of dozens of boats and luxury sloops. Due to the crowds, we advise you to book in time. This way you can be sure that there are enough boats available for all your friends.
