The Lamme Goedzak is an old-fashioned paddle-style boat that makes the trip between Bruges and Damme along the Damse Vaart, the canal of poplars, in about 35 minutes. It is the relaxed way to get to Damme without pedalling, and with small children it is an outing in itself. It is named after the friend of Till Eulenspiegel, the character of the Damme legend.
Times and landing stages
In Bruges it leaves from the Noorweegse Kaai, to the north, next to the Dampoort gate, about a 25-minute walk from the Markt; in Damme, from the canal bank, two minutes from the square. In the 2026 season it ran every day from 4 April to 4 October: from Bruges at 12:00, 14:00, 16:00 and 18:00, and from Damme at 11:00, 13:00, 15:00 and 17:00. After that, weekends only until 1 November. Check its website for the 2027 dates and individual days without service.
Prices
One way costs €12 for adults, €10 for over-65s and €4 for children up to age 12; return, €18, €15 and €7. Small groups do not book. There is a bar on board, and dogs on a lead travel free. Bikes are no longer allowed.
