You get to enjoy your sloop for the entire day, meaning you can celebrate on the water for 6 hours. Pick-up is available between 10:00 and 12:00, and after a short instruction, you’re good to go! Bring your own snacks and drinks and toast to the king.
Our boats sell out faster than a box of orange tompoucen, so make sure you don’t miss out! Reserve your King’s Day sloop online now.
