Boating in Amsterdam

Renting a boat in Amsterdam means freedom. You choose the route, the pace and the atmosphere. Step aboard Mokumboot and discover the city from a different perspective. Sail towards the Herengracht and let the city glide by. Or opt for a quieter route through the Plantagebuurt, where you will sail past the greenery of the Hortus and hear the sounds of Artis in the background.

Prefer to venture off the beaten track? Then the Eastern Islands are perfect: wide waterways, little traffic and views of modern architecture. Renting a boat without a skipper gives you the freedom to truly shape your day in Amsterdam. Whether you want to have a picnic on the water or just relax and enjoy yourself, sailing in Amsterdam has never been so much fun. And with an electric whisper boat, you can sail quietly, relaxed and at your own pace.

Rent a boat in Amsterdam with a choice of multiple boarding locations

Mokumboot has multiple boarding locations in Amsterdam, so you can start your cruise at a place that makes sense for your plans.

Thanks to the convenient location of these boarding points, your cruise starts wherever suits you best. All locations are easily accessible by bicycle or public transport. You board the boat, receive clear instructions about the electric whisper boat, and set sail on the canals.

Which boarding location suits your boat trip?

Each boarding location has its own unique setting, atmosphere, and route. Do you want to get onto the famous canals quickly? Then Amsterdam Centre is a logical choice. Are you looking for a quiet start with more space on the water? Then East, RAI, or South are a better fit for your plans. Are you meeting up with a group and prioritizing convenience? Then Amstel, Weesper, or De Pijp are practical departure points with good accessibility. This way, you choose not only where to board but also how your boat trip begins: lively, relaxed, or conveniently central.
