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.

Our customer experience
Amazing way to see the city. Easy to book and drive. Super Relaxing and able to pull up at cafes and restaurants along the way. Cafe Morlang was a delicious beer and lunch and able to Moor right out front.

Well, it would be fine, a beautiful boat rental, but it seems like a scam to me. Tourists, especially from other countries, be careful. 100 euros for the boat and something else... and a 100 euro deposit, which they told me would be returned within 5 days... and now two weeks have passed and the money still hasn't arrived in my account, so my impression is negative. If I do get my money back, and I hope so, I'll update my review, but for now, be careful. I'm updating my review: the money was returned, not very quickly, of course, but it's there. Overall, everything went well, I'm adding stars.
