Discover Piratenboot
Our tips:

- Not for a full stomach
- Combine with Peter Pan
Piratenboot
The Piratenboot is a swinging ship in the Canada zone. It has been at Bellewaerde since 1989 and is made for visitors who love a good dose of thrills. The ship swings up to 20 metres high.
The concept
Pirates, beware! You board a real pirate ship and brave the wild waves. The ship hangs from a large frame and swings back and forth like a pendulum. Hoist the sails and hold on tight.
The Experience
The ship starts gently, but every swing gets higher. Eventually you swing back and forth in a 180-degree arc. At the highest point, you briefly feel as if you're lifting off your seat. Can you keep a cool head?

Choose your spot
The further towards the back or front you sit, the higher you go and the stronger the floating sensation. In the middle it's calmer.
Not for a full stomach
Just eaten? Then hold off on the Piratenboot for a while. All that swinging back and forth can really put your stomach to the test.
Combine with Peter Pan
Close by is Peter Pan, a gentler voyage across the seven seas for younger pirates.
Visitor information
You must be at least 1.30 metres tall. Children under 1.30 metres are not allowed to ride, even with an accompanying adult. Children are measured with their shoes on. In the Bellewaerde app you can check in advance who can ride which attraction. Do you have a disability? At the Infostand at Ingang Leeuw or Ingang Mexico you can get an ACCESS wristband for the separate entrance. At most attractions, this is located at the exit.
Adventure in Canada
The Piratenboot is part of the large Canada zone, where you'll also find Wakala, Niagara and Screaming Eagle. For a quick bite, head to the Canadian Burger by the big lake.
