You can join an organised cruise, hire a boat for your own group, or explore the River Lys by speedboat.
From May to September, you can embark on a cruise along the River Lys. Departing from the centre of Ghent at the Old Law Courts, the cruise takes you via Afsnee, Drongen, and Sint-Martens-Latem to Baarle and back again. During the trip, you can appreciate nature, magnificent views, and stunning villas along the river. Along the way, lunch and drinks are served on board. It’s the perfect way to spend a relaxing and enjoyable afternoon.
Would you like to enjoy a River Lys cruise with your own group? You can charter one of the boats from Benelux Rederij for a tailor-made day trip. You decide when you want to depart, what type of trip you prefer, and whether or not you would like catering included. Explore the options on the website and reserve your outing.
Do you hold a boating licence and want to explore the River Lys yourself? Then the Benelux Rederij speedboat could be perfect for you. You can hire the speedboat for a duration of your choice and take up to eight people on board.
The speedboat can also be chartered with a skipper for a bespoke trip. Planning a meal along the River Lys and want to arrive in style, or interested in a private visit to the centre of Ghent? The skipper will be happy to arrange this for you and your group (maximum 8 people).
