Discover Amsterdam by Boat
Experience the freedom of exploring Amsterdam’s iconic canals with a private boat rental. This activity offers you the flexibility to navigate the city's waterways with your companions at your own rhythm. Whether you're planning a day out with friends or a special family adventure, this self-steered option is a memorable way to see the city from a new perspective.
Plan Your Experience
No boating license is required, making it accessible for most visitors. Boats are easy to handle and comfortably fit up to 8 people. Gather your group and enjoy a scenic 2-hour tour through canals that weave through centuries of history, beautiful houseboats, and vibrant city life—all from a unique water-level vantage point.
What to Expect
Upon arrival, you will receive safety instructions and lifejackets for all passengers. After a brief orientation, you'll be ready to set out. As the captain, you are responsible for following local regulations, including yielding to larger vessels and maintaining a safe, respectful environment for yourself and others on the water.
Only the sober may steer the boat, and the skipper must be at least 18 years old.
Stick to the right side of the canals and allow larger boats plenty of space to pass.
Avoid getting too close to houseboats and be mindful not to photograph inside them for privacy.
Important Rules
Music is not allowed onboard, and excessive drinking is prohibited. It is essential to maintain a safe and peaceful atmosphere in respect of residents and fellow canal users. Items like confetti, rice, and fireworks are not permitted to keep Amsterdam’s canals clean and welcoming. Dispose of trash properly to help preserve the city's beauty.
Who Can Take Part?
This boat rental is suitable for adults and supervised children. The group’s captain must be aged 18 or older and remain sober. Although lifejackets are provided, guests should ensure all personal items are secure as the boat may move gently with currents and passing boats.
Why Choose a Private Boat Rental?
Steering your own boat allows you to experience the charm and scenery of Amsterdam in a personal and flexible way. Plan your route, stop for photos of canal-side landmarks, and enjoy tranquil moments with your group on the water.
