Amsterdam Gay Pride is in one word: spectacular! We promise you that. Every year we celebrate the fact that you can be yourself, no matter who you love. Whether you’re straight, lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender, it doesn’t matter! And that is something that can be celebrated. The whole city is one big festival and especially the canals are one big party.
Gay Pride Amsterdam and its highlight: the Canal Parade is this year on Saturday, August 5th. This event is world famous for a reason. A beautiful boat parade can be seen on the canals and it’s one big party. You can experience this from close by if you hire a boat.
Of course, the best way to experience the parade is right on the canals. This guarantees the best view of the beautifully decorated boats.
Eco Boats Amsterdam has managed to secure a number of spots. Nowadays, you have to have a vignette to be allowed on the route with a boat.
You rent a boat from us for the whole day. You pick up the boat early in the morning around 9 am and bring it back at 6 pm when the parade is over. The exact time you can pick up the boat is still to be announced. We will assign you an area where you can park the boat during Gay Pride Amsterdam.
Our boats are for rent for the whole day, including vignette, for a low fixed price. You’ll get your own private boat with space for a maximum of 8 or 12 people, depending on which boat you choose.
Once you’ve gone into your designated area, there are only two things left to do; enjoy and wave. Enjoy everything that passes together with your company, the tasty snacks and drinks you brought, the music and the atmosphere. Don’t forget to wave at the participants of the parade and ofcourse take many photos.
