About this guide

BrugesCanalBoat.com is a guide to the canal boats of Bruges: how the boats work, the 2026 prices, the five jetties and the season, the tours and day trips that include the boat or add it as an option, and what else to do in Bruges. We are not one of the boat companies, the City of Bruges, Visit Bruges, a tour operator or GetYourGuide: the site name describes what we write about, and the boat companies sell their own tickets at the jetties.

Facts here are checked against official and primary sources (the City of Bruges and Visit Bruges for the boats, prices and events, Musea Brugge for the museums, NMBS/SNCB for the trains) and the tour listings on GetYourGuide, including recent reviews. Prices, dates and timetables change; when a listing and this page disagree, the listing at checkout wins.

The site is funded by affiliate commissions: when you book through a GetYourGuide link here, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Our editors pick the tours on what suits which visitor, and every page says whether the canal boat is included. Details on the affiliate disclosure page.
