Plastic fishing
Cleaning is fun, during plastic fishing in Amsterdam. You may have heard about it before: you go out on the canals with a boat to fish plastic from the canals of Amsterdam. You do this with scoop nets that you get from us. And at Eco Boats we only rent out electric boats. So you also cruise the canals eco friendly!
Why plastic fishing?
What do you do to keep the planet clean? Do you think it is important for everyone to help out? We agree with you. Amsterdam is our home base and, like everyone else, we love our beautiful canals, which have been on the World Heritage List since 2010. Together, we all ensure that these beautiful canals remain so wonderful. Will you help?
How does plastic fishing work?
We recommend 2 hours for plastic fishing, of course you can also go longer. This will give you enough time to collect as much plastic and other waste as possible. You rent a boat from us, and we’ll provide the scoop nets and garbage bags. It is best to separate the waste directly on board.
- First you book a boat (when booking, put in the comments that you want to go plastic fishing)
- You’ll get a map, scoop nets and garbage bags on board
- We’ll explain all the rules before you set off
- There are also blankets, cushions and life jackets for children on board to make the cruise comfortable
