(SEMI) OPEN BOAT

Experience the light artworks from up close, in an intimate group setting. On board a (semi) open boat, you have an exceptional view of the artworks, as the boat is not, or only partially, covered. In case the weather turns bad, the boat can be fully covered. There are blankets available to stay warm and an enthusiastic skipper or guide will tell you all about the artworks.
