2. Shared canal boats

Shared canal boats are the cheapest but also the least convenient way to explore the city from the water. A large canal boat can fit up to 50 tourists and there is no personal tour guide but you will wear headsets or they play an audio tour guide on speakers to explain the city in multiple languages.

Furthermore, the shared canal boats only have standard routes. Due to their bigger size, it is not possible to discover the narrow canals of the city. So if you would like to alter your route – there is no option.

3. Rent a E-boat in Amsterdam and drive yourself

You also have the option to drive a boat yourself. Dont expect too much luxury here and the boats only go up to 6km/h. Furthermore, those boats are not covered so in case of rainfall be prepared and take an umbrella with you.

Conclusion

Renting a boat is a fun way to discover the historic city centre. Depending on your budget, the most comfortable and convenient way is to rent a private boat with your partner or group of friends. The prices start from 150 Eur per hour and can be booked via phone +31 6 45 25 1000 or via the online system.

For budget travellers who do not mind to have a basic experience – can easily book one of the larger tourist boats departing in front of central station. Still not sure which boat to book? Compare boats on boat rental Amsterdam.

2. Hire a private boat to alter the route

Many canal tours have a standard route. The standard route is often chosen for larger tourist boats, as they can not enter in narrow canals. Therefore, the quality of your route is suffering. If you choose for a private canal boat, the captain is able to modify the route based on the things you would like to see. With our small canal boat, there is no canal to narrow to enter and we can easily turn around to change directions.

3. Take your time when making pictures

Standard canal tours do not stop when you would like to take your time for a special picture moment with your partner or friends. As you are not the only group in a large tourist boat, the captain will not consider your special wishes as this is just not possible with many groups on board. The advantages of a private boat hire is that you can take your time when you would like to stop at a special scenic landmark. This guarantees you the perfect vacation picture!

4. The self-serving minibar as highlight

Besides the fact that large tourist boats do not cater any beverages during the tour, they also do not have any snacks on board. Private boat hire Amsterdam is different. We do not just have a coronaproof minibar on board, but also some nuts as complimentary snacks. Enjoy the canal tour while sipping on your favorite drink!
