Others about boat rental in Amsterdam

Boat Rental Amsterdam costumer

I’ve rented with Sloepdelen quite a few times now, and it’s always been problem free. The rental process is very chilled and relaxed and so is a few hours cruising the canals-much more fun than the big tourist boats!

We rented a boat with a group of 10 in Amsterdam, it is a great way to see the city and good value for money! I booked online one hour before, the process was extremely easy. Boats are easy to drive. Brilliant experience, definitely recommend it!

Super easy to navigate website made booking easy. Boats were clean and exactly as described on the website. Easy to steer and super quiet. We went out on a Friday morning and had a fantastic time as their weren’t too many others on the canals at that time.
