“Wonderful experience. My partner and I rented for three hours and had a lovely time. Was so much easier than I expected and was an amazing way to see the city and canals on your own time. Berend did a wonderful job explaining everything and making it easy.”

“From reserving a boat to returning it at the end of our trip, was made as easy as possible. Easy to find hire location, simple explanation and a clean boat. The provided map was easy to understand and it was plain sailing for the duration of our hire.”
