Our private canal boats with a captain can be rented starting from €292.50 for 1.5 hours. The cost depends on additional preferences such as catering, open bar and activities. The boat accommodates up to 30 people.

Sure, you're more than welcome to take all the food and drinks with you when you rent the self-drive boats. Mind you, the captain needs to be sober and stay sober.

We will arrange the catering for you if you want this. (Except on King's Day and Gay Pride, where it is allowed to bring your own food, but drinks will still be provided by us.)
