What you can expect

  • Skip the schedules and the crowds — drive your own boat through Giethoorn for as long as you like, with room for up to 12 people.

    When you arrive at our boat rental at Zuiderpad 14, free parking is waiting and toilets are available on site. Grab something to drink or eat for the trip — there's a kiosk at the dock.

    Our team will give you a short instruction and a few tips on what to see. The boat has a steering wheel and is easy to handle — no boating licence required, and even first-time captains find it simple after the introduction. You'll also get a navigation app with a suggested route, so you can follow the highlights or break off and head onto the lake at your own pace.

    You have 2 to 6 hours with the boat. Take it slow, stop for a coffee on a terrace, moor at a quiet spot for a picnic — it's your boat for the duration. With 12 seats, it's a great fit for larger families, group outings, or friends travelling together.

    When your time's up, our team helps you dock and get out of the boat safely.
