BOAT RENTAL AMSTERDAM CITY CENTER
Boat rental in the center of Amsterdam
Want to rent a boat in Amsterdam city center? At Boats4rent, you’ll board on Nassaukade, right in the heart of the city. We were located in Westerpark for years, but since 2020, we’ve been even more central: right next to the Jordaan and Oud-West districts. This means you can be cruising through the charming canals of the Jordaan within minutes and gliding along the iconic Prinsengracht canal shortly after.
