Boats4rent

The best experience! The best time! We rented a boat from Boats4rent online, months before our trip. Initially I rented from another location and they were graciously able to change our reservation to the Nassaukade location. We arrived early with our sandwiches, drinks and umbrella (that, thankfully we didn’t need) and were met by the awesome host who told us all the rules and sent us on our way. It is really wonderful that this boat rental exists. You certainly cannot have this experience for a more reasonable price.

I wanted to go by the house where I lived years ago, but was unable to because the last bridge was just 1” too low for the boat to go under, dang it! Although we went off of the advised route, we were able to safely traverse the canals of Amsterdam.

It was the perfect day, just the threat of rain with only a small sprinkling for less than 10 minutes. The whole perspective of Amsterdam changes from a boat on a canal. It’s magical. You don’t have to worry about bicycles, haha!

There are so many smaller canals that are so lovely to see that you normally wouldn’t be able to with the big tour boats. There is nothing like piloting your own boat in Amsterdam. It’s the greatest!!! There is nothing like being the master of your own destiny!
