Questions about the boats

Which boat should I choose?

Count your group and add a little space: the 4-person for couples, the 6- and 8-person for families and friends, the 12-person or VIP for big groups. The 8-person boat is our most popular.

Is the VIP sloop worth it?

It seats 12 like the standard boat but with a luxury finish, more space and a table. From € 64 per hour on weekdays.

How fast do the boats go?

The village limit is 6 km/h; the boats are made for exactly that pace.

Do you have a boat for wheelchair users?

One canal cruise boat is wheelchair accessible. Mention it when booking; see accessibility.

How many people fit on a private boat?

The open sloop takes up to 12, the covered boat up to 52. Larger groups split over the four canal boats of 44 to 52.
