One of the most fun activities to do in Ghent is to discover the historic city and its green surroundings by boat. But what makes it even more fun, is when you can become your own captain to do so. With Minerva Boat Company, you can rent your own boat for a couple of hours or an entire day to explore both the historic centre of Ghent and the beautiful Leie river.
No boating license is required, anyone over 18 holding a driver’s license can hire a boat here. You will be given very clear instructions on how to handle the boat and for the route to follow. At Minerva Boat Company, you can choose between a standard boat, cabrio boat or luxury sloop, from 4 up to 12 people. Booking in advance is definitely advised, especially on sunny weekends. Extra tip: Bring a bottle of bubbles and some snacks for an instant holiday vibe.
