What our passengers say:
Kristien S.
"Super fun. Great guide who made it an enjoyable boat trip. With the necessary humor. Really enjoyed it."
Inge E.
"Very enthusiastic volunteers who tell a lot about Lier. It's also very cheap on top of that. It was a pity though that you couldn't go completely around Lier with the boat."
Ilse B.
"Boating in Lier is certainly fun. Of course the weather is very decisive but when the sun cooperates it's really worth it. We're not in Venice of course but Lier can certainly hold its own too. A nice experience"
Tommy B.
"The most fun boat trips of Lier and surroundings. The all-knowing guide takes you around in one of the 5 sloops with all kinds of fun facts and sights..."

It’s recommended! During our regular operating hours (Saturday, Sunday, and holidays between 14:00 and 17:30), you can buy tickets on the spot if we have spaces available. We operate multiple times per hour, so even if one boat is full, you can usually join the next one – enjoy a drink at a terrace and before you know it, you’ll be on board! If you want to sail outside these hours or want to ensure your spot, booking is necessary. You can easily do this through our website or with a phone call. This is especially recommended on weekends and during holidays!
