About this property

Luxurious ship with focus on relaxation for large groups: anything but ordinary

This futuristic holiday home is anything but ordinary. Have you always wanted to sleep on the water? In the mood for a unique experience? This former cargo ship has been converted into a luxurious relaxation spot on the water for groups of up to 16 people. The ship is fully equipped to offer large groups of friends, family, and colleagues a comfortable and unique stay. Even a private home cinema is included! Just 10 minutes from the city centre, this is the perfect base for exploring Ghent with a large group. This innovative boat concept and private hotel offers an organic blend of online gaming (10 high-end gaming PCs, 5 consoles, handhelds, an arcade and GarageBand, Mario Kart racing steering wheels, and a comfortable, immersive home cinema for films and gaming) and offline relaxation (a fantastic selection of board games, a pool table, darts, and a music and reading cabin). There is something for every group in this 300m² gem. Relaxation takes centre stage in a futuristic setting on the water with sleeping accommodation for up to 16 people. The boat is located at the docks of Ghent, a trendy area a 10-minute walk from the city centre.

De accomodatie ziet er precies zo uit als op de foto’s! Er is een goede communicatie met de eigenaar en hij heeft goed gezorgd voor ons. We hebben een super leuk verblijf gehad hier met onze vriendengroep!
