Exclusive

Your own group

The boat is reserved exclusively for your group. No other guests join the cruise.

Celebrating together on the water

You sail past the historic docks, the MAS and the Antwerp skyline. On board there is room for a drink, your own music and above all for each other.

The boat is exclusive to your group, so you set the mood yourselves.

For small and large groups

The small boat takes up to 12 guests, the large boat up to 50. That makes the cruise suit an intimate evening with friends as well as a bigger family party.
