Rent a sloop

Explore Groningen from the water, sitting back and relaxing in a sloop. Glide through the water under bridges, past the warehouses and alongside other boats. In Groningen, you can hire a sloop at various locations throughout the city and the province. As well as comfortable sloops, many hire companies also offer comprehensive packages that allow you to enjoy a wonderful day out on the water in complete luxury and comfort.

Seas of time

Wherever you start, whether you sail clockwise or anti-clockwise: a boat trip around the canals takes you past some of the gems of Groningen’s city centre. And forget about the clock: on the water, you’ll find the peace and time to see the city in a different light. Lose yourself in the details you see from the water. You’ll always end up back where you started.
