Boat trips in Antwerp

Boat trips in Antwerp

The fresh Scheldt air, the sun on your face and a breathtaking view from the deck... A boat trip on the Scheldt or in the port is THE way to experience Antwerp in a special way. Choose from classic port tours, ecological boat tours or exclusive private cruises.

A classic cruise with Flandria

Flandria  sails out almost daily from Asiadok, located between the Eilandje and Park Spoor Noord. Opt for a traditional port tour and discover historic docks, modern container terminals and hidden spots along the river Scheldt. Or go for a special one, such as the ‘Candlelight Cruise’: a gourmet sunset cruise on the water, with dinner and views of the city and port.

Electric boating with AntwerpByBoat

Cruise quietly and ecologically with an electrically powered whisper boat from AntwerpByBoat. Perfect for small groups of friends or family. Choose between a 50-minute or 90-minute tour of the port or the docks, combined with an aperitif or a sushi cruise. Ecological, relaxed and flexible: this is how to discover Antwerp in a sustainable way.

Private tour onboard the sloop Warose

Step aboard the cosy sloop Warose, for up to seven people, and decide on your boarding point: Asiadok (free parking), the jetty at the MAS or Kattendijkdok. Enjoy an aperitif while cruising past historic docks, or combine the tour with a cultural walking tour of the city. A small-scale and personal experience.

Luxury cruise on the Eilandje onboard a notary boat

With the Rien Elisabeth of ‘Rondvaarten Eilandje’, a restored 1918 notary boat dating back to 1918, you can go on a private cruise with up to twelve people. Explore the docks around the MAS with bubbles, appetisers, oysters, caviar or lunch on board. Ideal for friends, family or colleagues seeking a luxurious and authentic boating experience.

Water limo: fast and spectacular or calm and relaxed

Do you want speed or just quiet enjoyment? Travel on the Waterlimo  and you'll sail past Antwerp's skyline, container terminals and special architecture of the port. You're guaranteed a breathtaking experience, whether you choose a fast ride or a leisurely one.
