Boat Rental Amsterdam

Our boat rental locations in Amsterdam

With departure points in Amsterdam Centre, Amsterdam East and near Central Station, you can choose a location that suits your plans. Each offers a different starting point for discovering the city’s canals.

Boat Rental Amsterdam Centre

Find our city-centre boat rental at Zandhoek 22, 1013 KT Amsterdam, near Central Station. Here you can rent the 8-person Prinsen Boat or 12-person Keizers Boat. From this location, you’ll soon be cruising through Amsterdam’s famous canals, including the Herengracht and Keizersgracht.

Boat Rental Amsterdam East

Our Amsterdam East location is at Daniël Goedkoopstraat 1, 1096 BD Amsterdam, near Overamstel metro station. Choose the 7-person Amstel Boat or 10-person Heren Boat and head straight onto the Amstel, with beautiful sights to explore.

Amsterdam Central Station

Prefer to leave the sailing to someone else? Our regular public canal cruises depart from Stationsplein 18, directly in front of Amsterdam Central Station. Private cruises with a skipper can also depart from this area, with alternative pick-up locations available on request, sometimes for an additional fee.

Boat rental in Amsterdam with fun activities

We love Amsterdam’s canals, and we want to help keep them beautiful. That’s why our boats are fully electric and why we offer plastic fishing as an activity during self-drive rentals.

Turn your boat trip into something more than sightseeing by collecting floating plastic from the water. Or make it a fun group outing with an Amsterdam canal quiz or a silent disco on one of our larger private boats with a skipper.

This is what you get with our boat rental

Your time on the canals should be about enjoying Amsterdam, not worrying about how everything works. Our self-drive boats are easy to handle, and we’ll help you get comfortable before setting off.

With your self-drive boat rental, you get:

• Comfortable pillows
• Warm blankets
• Map with routes
• Life vests for children
• Storage space for your belongings
• Fun activities

No previous boating experience is needed. We’ll explain everything before departure, so you can head out feeling confident.

Planning something bigger? Our private cruises come with an experienced skipper, with food, drinks and tailored packages available for your group.

What should you bring with you?

Don’t forget to bring a few things with you, like some drinks and snacks. We recommend organising a picknick on the boat! Also, it’s often a little colder on the water. So don’t forget to bring a jacket or an extra sweater. Is the sun shining? Perfect! In that case, don’t forget to bring some sunscreen with you. We request at least the following two things:

• A valid ID
• Proof of reservation
