Canal Motor Boats

Want to explore the world-famous canals of Amsterdam on a boat at your own pace on a small, eco-friendly electric boat? Look no further than Canal Motor Boats to help you strike this memorable experience off your bucket list. Rent a boat for an hour or the whole day, and up to six people can enjoy a leisurely cruise down the waters, surrounded by the iconic Amsterdam houses, landmark buildings and the beautiful Dutch elms.

Safe and Silent:

You don't need a sailing license or any kind of training to run these silent motorboats, which are powerful enough to keep going all day, and equipped to float even if they become full of water. Just grab the waterproof map you get with the boat, pick one of the recommended routes or let your whimsy be your navigator, and set off for a truly Amsterdam experience. Stop on the way to purchase a picnic, and you're all set for a day of relaxation.

Planning your Adventure:

The Jordaan, the Red Light District (de Wallen), the canals around the museums and the entertainment area are all worth a visit on your boating expedition. Sail past landmarks like the Anne Frank House, and get your fill of Dutch history across the centuries. The boat gets cheaper with each extra hour you spend, so it's light on the pocket for a day of fun with friends. If you're in a bigger group, you can always rent more than one boat, but do make sure to book in advance in the tourist season to avoid disappointment. You can do so at the company's website above.
