Set against the picturesque backdrop of Lake Genval in the province of Overijse near Brussels, Genval Yacht Club provides a tranquil and engaging retreat for both locals and visitors. Open to the public seven days a week, the club offers a myriad of activities that cater to those who love the water and the outdoors.

While the club welcomes visitors to enjoy its distinctive locale and leisure offerings, a few rules ensure everyone’s safety and enjoyment. Swimming and the presence of animals on boats are not permitted.
