What an adventure! This trip is definitely recommended for the daredevils. Despite the rain, we still went for a walk with quite a bit of wind and wild waves. It was a wild ride! We got an adrenaline rush and it was fun, but coming down hard onto the sea after high waves causes bruises from being trapped on the boat and it is really not recommended for people with a weak back/neck. The adrenaline wore off and then we felt our bodies quite a bit. Despite the physical burden, I look back on it positively! A nice guide that gives an explanation of the most important things for departure and chats cool bits. It is a completely different view from what we saw on the sea dike, and we also went calmly through the wild sailing, so we could really enjoy the view.

A very correct service, A pleasant man and a nice trip.

Not a good experience, another expectation is created
Not the best experience. Even though we were well on time we met a stressed captain. We thought we booked a tour with the Zodiac. This is what is advertised. This also appears to be able to change into another boat. Captain did not communicate at all and did not seem to feel like it. Sailed to the Rooster and then back. According to the description you would sail past Blankenberge to Zeebrugge-bad . Didn't happen. If you pay that kind of money, there could be some customer friendliness. Too bad but really not recommended.
S
Misleading and not what we expected
A setback, it is suggested that you go by dinghy, as indicated at booking. This was not right, instead with a catamaran motorboat. The captain was in a great hurry despite us being present at the appointed time. Didn't seem to feel like it either. Sailed as far as the Haan and back and halfway Blankenberge, not as described until Zeebrugge-bad. In 30 minutes we were back in the harbor, not seen a soda. Not a single conversation from the captain. Overall not recommended. A waste of money.
J
Great experience!
It was a great experience! Super boat trip, including speed, with unfortunately little wind and therefore hardly any waves. So the price-performance ratio is top-notch! At the beginning and end we drove slowly and leisurely and then really nice and fast on the sea. It was super fun!
5
Fun experience
Nice experience, just a nice breath of fresh air at sea, especially when the boat picks up some speed. Also definitely suitable to do with children
O
Everyone has to do it once
It was great, it was fun. A great experience. My daughter was so thrilled and my husband was too.
B
Highly recommended
Super nice, dear person who steered our boat. Really great trip, was mega fun
S
Great fun, beautiful views, nice contact
As a family of 6, we were alone with our nice and flexible guide and had a lot of fun on the brisk drive across the sea. Even in warm weather it is recommended to bring a jacket, it will be fresh.
Y
By speedboat by sea
Fun to do. We expected it to be a bit more spectacular. Nice "skipper." Easy to find in the harbor.
