River cruise & Hearth & Table
Enjoying life on the water…
two passions, one boat
When two people, Lucas of Hearth & Table and the skipper of a local yacht charter, put their heads together and want to share their passion for what they do every day, unforgettable experiences are born.
From this spring we provide the catering on board this luxury cruise. Plenty of packages are possible; below are a few examples. For more information, just get in touch and we will put you in contact with the charter.

01
Boat trip through Ghent
Even if you know Ghent, on board the luxury yacht you experience the city in a completely different way. Parks, old abbeys, the courthouse, the new library, the concert hall, the cinemas, the churches and the football stadium: you sail past them all. During the trip you have plenty of time to enjoy an aperitif while taking in the city. This route is beautiful in the evening too. On the ring canal there is a moment of speed and thrills, at well over 60 km/h.

Mini cruise along the Lys
Never sailed the scenic river Lys? Then this mini cruise to the old ferry crossing is a must. Through quiet villages and green meadows you sail to the ferry, and from there you return to Ghent. A peaceful trip past beautiful landscapes and splendid villas. Along the way we can serve refined aperitif bites, carefully prepared by Hearth & Table. With a glass of champagne and pleasant company, this becomes an experience never to forget.

Half-day trip Ghent
A lovely impression of the waterways in and around Ghent. First up the scenic Lys to the old ferry, then back to the ring canal and along the Lys to the city centre. At the old courthouse you follow the inner canals to the south and sail on to the Upper Scheldt, past the lock complex and the stadium. Fancy some speed? On the ring canal you can. Ideal after a restaurant visit or before your dinner.

Walking dinner – Silver
A lovely package where you never have to leave the boat, so you can wear comfortable clothes all day. Departure from Ghent at 11 a.m., heading along the Lys. Along the way you moor three times on the banks of the river and each time 4 bites are served. Around 6.30 p.m. you are back in the marina, or around 8 p.m. if you add a loop through the city of Ghent.
