Amsterdam: Rent Your Own Boat
About this experience
Ever wanted to explore the Amsterdam canals with friends? Now you can! Rent a boat and navigate the city's beautiful waterways—no boating license is needed. The boat fits up to 8 people and rentals are for a 2-hour trip.
A few rules to remember: No music onboard, the captain must be sober, and give way to larger boats. The skipper must be at least 18 years old. Stick to the right side of the canal and avoid getting too close to houseboats. No taking photos inside houseboats. Leave confetti, rice, and fireworks at home. Keep the canals clean—no littering. Lastly, no excessive drinking on the boat.

HMBotel notes for choosing your ticket
Compare the inclusions above with your plans: admission, a guided visit and a combination ticket may cover different services. The venue name alone is not enough to compare them.
Check the meeting point and arrival instructions before adding another activity. The displayed duration describes the activity; plan travel from your hotel and your return separately.
Booking and payment take place with Tiqets. On that final page, confirm the date, participants, visit language, final price and cancellation rules; an indicative HMBotel price is not a guarantee of availability.
