1. If you have booked between 1 June - 31 July 2020, please contact the Port Office of the shipping company and we will discuss the options for your trip;
2. From Friday May 15 we will sail our regular 'Rondvaart Leiden' for two guests by boat. So from 10.30 am there is a departure every hour !;
3. From Monday 1 June we will be open again for group and regular trips with due observance of the one and a half meter protocol and the distribution measures from RIVM (on board, at the quay and in the Port Office).

We wish all (future) guests, collegues, suppliers, clients, skippers, restaurant businesses and fellow entrepreneurs in the Leiden area all of the strength and luck and would like to welcome everyone on board again from 1 June 2020.

Of course we follow the latest developments around the virus closely. If the government comes up with new measures, we will follow up on this.

Something to celebrate? Enjoy it while boating!

Leiden is a city rich of water and while boating you can enjoy the many beautiful and historical sights of the old and modern parts of the city. We take pleasure in organising an entertaining and relaxing boat trip through the old canals and green fringed moats of Leiden. Once out of Leiden, we sail into the green heart of Holland with its characteristic wind, water and green grassland.

Nothing is too crazy for us!

Nothing is too crazy for us! Let us know your wishes and we will take it from there. With our large fleet, we can organise a customised arrangement for anything from 2 up to 300 persons.

Leiden in one minute!

Leiden is famous for its monuments, university and museums, but it also has a vibrant and attractive city centre with a large and diverse selection of pubs and cafés, eateries, antique shops, restaurants and small boutiques. As most streets and quays have been recently refurbished, the antique-style street lanterns again shed their warm glow onto the canals, alleys and squares, making Leiden one of the most attractive historical cities of Holland.

A boat tour in Leiden feels like a big peepshow on the water...
