  • Each subsequent hour: €30 per hour

Super Deal: Temporarily €70 instead of €90 for 2 hours from Monday to Friday

Blue boat price

The blue boat is just like the green boat, but is slightly larger and has room for 8 people. You can steer the boat yourself by means of a steering wheel instead of a tiller. The boat has benches along the side of the boat. You can hire the blue boat for 2 hours or longer.

  • First 2 hours: €100

Super Deal: Temporarily €80 instead of €100 for 2 hours from Monday to Friday
