👍 Booked their service through online portal. On a sunny day we booked the smaller boat. Charge is reasonable- 2 hours 80 euros. And for another extra hour that will be 30euros extra. The best time slot to book is in the afternoon. There is a security deposit of 250 euros as well. They provide the map...

    Booked their service through online portal. On a sunny day we booked the smaller boat. Charge is reasonable- 2 hours 80 euros. And for another extra hour that will be 30euros extra. The best time slot to book is in the afternoon. There is a security deposit of 250 euros as well. They provide the map where will you go and they give proper instructions for driving the boats. The staffs are friendly and they are helpful. Boats have safety jackets as well (incase of emergency). And they provide their number to reach out to them if you need any help. The quality of the boat was super nice and after each trip the boats are cleaned and sanitized properly due to corona condition. If you want to visit and explore the beauty of Ghent then boat ride is a must thing to do. We will cherish our memory for long. It's really awesome. Would like to visit again to booot.be.

    (Translated by Google) Our start with the boat went anything but smooth: very limited explanation with a (slight) collision as a result. When you first sail, it is necessary to get more explanation. "It's like a car" is not enough for this. Despite the start, we got the hang of sailing on the way and had a great experience. The arrival, however, ended this completely in a minor key. A very arrogant service and a scolding ("You destroyed my boat", while the deposit was refunded) do not testify to any customer friendliness. However, customer feedback could lead to better service in the future, very unfortunate when it is badly cut off. In the future we will look for a different society. (Original) Onze start met de boot verliep allesbehalve vlot: zeer beperkte uitleg met een (lichte) botsing als gevolg. Wanneer je voor de eerste keer vaart, is het noodzakelijk meer uitleg te krijgen. “Het is zoals een auto” volstaat hiervoor niet. Ondanks de start, kregen we het varen onderweg toch onder de knie en hadden een fijne ervaring. De aankomst deed dit echter volledig in mineur eindigen. Een zeer arrogante service en een uitbrander (“Jullie hebben mijn boot vernield”, terwijl de waarborg wel werd teruggestort) getuigen van geen enkele klantvriendelijkheid. Feedback van klanten zou nochtans kunnen leiden tot een betere service in de toekomst, zeer jammer wanneer deze kwaad afgesneerd wordt. In de toekomst gaan we op zoek naar een andere maatschappij.

    We loved our 4 hours trip, renting a boat to discover Ghent's historical and also it's beautiful nature really worth the experience. The service was ok, it's better to make a reservation in advance. Unfortunately, I did not try the electrical boat so the one we used was a bit noisy.

    Super fun way to see Ghent and enjoy your own boat, without having to share it with other tourists.

    Nice trip, but worst service experience ever (thanks to the tall skinny employee with glasses). If we didn't defend our situation (what probably some tourists would do), we would have lost our 200 euro deposit for nothing.. Arrogant behaviour of the tall employee, making a scene for things that didn't happen. During the trip, we got some instructions to tilt the motor of the boat. But as this was our first time, not something easy to do. Plus his instructions were quite wrong. If you are the owner of this company, feel free to send me a private message to discuss this further in detail. I think I have an idea how to prevent such bad experience for future customers. I wouldn't wish this on anyone.

    One of the beautiful places and tourist attractions in Ghent. You can hire a boat tour from here or spend an entire day at leisure under the sun on the grass bed. Perfect spot for a cosy summer.

  • 5/5 Shannon K. 5 years ago on Google • 150 reviews
    Easy to book and willing to refund in case of bad weather, nice boats. Fun trip.

  • 4/5 Jeroen De M. 7 months ago on Google • 91 reviews
    The boats are clean, tidy, user friendly, low noise(electric), comfortable and aesthetically pleasing. You get a map with proposed routes and some explanation, you can ride the boats yourself. Downsides: They are not exactly cheap. They are a lot slower than the boats of the other company, just across the water, severely limiting distance of the trips and taking away some of the fun. Also later opening hours would be fun. Riding by night could add a whole new dimension.

    Fun way and Nice boat trip to visit the city, you see some beautiful places around GENT, really worthwhile!

  • 5/5 Rodrigo G. 1 year ago on Google • 40 reviews
    I have rented a boat twice here, and it is really an enjoyable experience! We were 10 people, and the boat was around 100€ for 2 hours. It is big and comfortable, has a table in the middle which makes it easy to share some drinks and food with your friends while you navigate the river and the canals. The boat is very easy to pilot, even if it's your first time. Workers are very nice and they will show you how to drive, and the best places to visit. I recommend the fancy houses of the south-west of Ghent!

  • 5/5 Ziad C. 1 year ago on Google • 11 reviews
    Great experience and quite cheap when spread across multiple people. A must do for people wanting to see Ghent from the canals perspective!

    (Translated by Google) Great activity, clear agreements. But 2 hours was a bit short. Next time I will take a little longer (Original) Toffe activiteit, duidelijke afspraken. Maar 2 uur was een beetje kort. De volgende keer neem ik wat langer

  • 1/5 Marc De C. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Have rented two boats. One of which was broken after 15 minutes. Have they replaced by others that were also broken after 30 minutes. We have not received any compensation. Could be a very nice experience, but not with this society. (Original) Hebben twee boten gehuurd. Waarvan eentje reeds na 15 minuten stuk was. Hebben ze vervangen door andere die dan ook na 30min stuk was. We hebben geen enkele tegemoetkoming gekregen. Zou zeer leuke ervaring kunnen zijn, maar niet met deze maatschappij .

    (Translated by Google) We reserved a boat for 10 people a long time in advance. The reservation went smoothly online. Unfortunately, when I wanted to inquire as to whether a free cancellation was possible, I could not reach the organization for 3 days. No answer via mail, via telephone I came to the voicemail. Only when I confirmed that it could go ahead, did I receive an answer to the email. The boat trip itself was in order and the organization the day itself was okay. Perfect family trip, although next time I choose another organization where communication went more smoothly. (Original) We reserveerden een lange tijd op voorhand een boot voor 10 personen. De reservatie verliep online en vlot. Toen ik door omstandigheden wou informeren of een kosteloze annulatie mogelijk was, kon ik de organisatie helaas een 3tal dagen niet bereiken. Geen antwoord via mail, via telefoon kwam ik op de voicemail. Pas toen ik bevestigde dat het toch kon doorgaan, kreeg ik antwoord op de mail. De boottocht zelf was in orde en de organisatie de dag zelf was oké. Perfecte familie-uitstap, al kies ik de volgende keer opnieuw voor de andere organisatie waarbij de communicatie vlotter verliep.

    (Translated by Google) Due to medical reasons the boat trip was canceled 3 weeks in advance. After repeatedly asking for our advance this will continue to be ignored. We do not want a voucher. (Original) Door medische redenen de boottocht 3 weken op voorhand geannuleerd. Achter herhaaldelijk ons voorschot terug te vragen blijft dit genegeerd worden. We wensen geen tegoedbon.

    They send you off without really explaining how their boat works and without inventory. Of course, on the first 10 meters, all the boats crash on a bridge. So our deposit was not fully refunded because of a "scratch" on the boat, which we could not prove wrong, because there was no inventory to begin with. Bad service and unkind staff.

  • 4/5 Isai V. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The staff are very friendly, the boats are cleaned well. The electric boats make much less noise than the diesel boats (the neighbor across the street has so many which makes you sometimes disturbed by the peace). This ensures that you can enjoy the beautiful nature along the water in silence. It is definitely recommended to rent a boat for the day and to enjoy it fully. You can order snacks and aperitif with or without alcohol. (Original) Het personeel is zeer vriendelijke, de boten worden goed schoongemaakt. De elektrische boten maken veel minder lawaai dan de diesel boten (de overbuur heeft er zo veel wat maakt dat je soms van de rust gestoord word). Dit zorgt dat je in stilte kan genieten van de prachtige natuur langs het water. Het zeker aangeraden om een boot voor dag te huur en om volledig van te genieten. Je kan hapjes en aperitief al dan niet met alcohol bij hun bestellen.

    (Translated by Google) Smooth reservation, good reception and neat sloop. From Ghent to St Martens Latem and back is just too short for 4 hours if a stopover is desired ... (Original) Vlotte reservatie, goede ontvangst en nette sloep. Vanuit Gent naar St Martens Latem en terug is net te krap voor 4 uur indien een tussenstop gewenst is...

  • 1/5 Daan V. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) After having reserved a boat we drove to Ghent. Just arrived in Ghent and called by boat that our boat broke down. Ever heard of a spare? So that people can still continue their day as planned. Very disappointing. (Original) Na een boot gereserveerd te hebben naar Gent gereden. Net in Gent aangekomen en gebeld door booot dat onze boot panne had. Ooit gehoord van een reserve? Zodat mensen toch nog hun dag zoals gepland kunnen verderzetten. Heel teleurstellend.

If you want to explore Ghent and surroundings with your love, family, relatives or singles, I recommend SURE Boat. A great fun experience.

Een geweldig leuke ervaring.

  • 5/5 Jeroen W. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I wanted to sail with a boat that I could steer myself without the need for a navigation license and this was possible at Booot. We had a wonderful trip on the Leie in the city center of Ghent. If you ask me, Booot is the best boat rental company! (Original) Ik wou graag met een bootje varen die ikzelf kon besturen zonder dat er een vaarbewijs nodig was en dit kon bij Booot. We hadden een prachtige tocht op de Leie in het stadscentrum van Gent. Als je het mij vraagt is Booot het beste bootverhuur bedrijf!
