What To Expect

When renting a Mokumboot you can sail yourself, travelers can look forward to a relaxed and authentic way to explore Amsterdam’s canals. After a short safety and navigation briefing, you take the steering wheel yourself - no boating license is required. The boat is comfortable, stable, and fully electric, making it easy to steer and quiet to cruise through the city. You have the freedom to choose your own route, stop wherever you like (as long as someone stays on the boat), and explore hidden corners at your own pace. Friendly staff provide helpful instructions and tips to ensure you feel confident before departure, and maps or navigation tools highlight recommended sights along the way. This experience offers total flexibility, a true taste of local life, and is perfect for couples, friends, or families who want to enjoy food and drinks on board while discovering Amsterdam from the water.

    We had never steered our own boat before but it was quite idiot proof steering the boat. Had great fun cruising along the canals on our own pace. Appreciated the map provided with suggested routes. Took a little longer getting back but thankful we were not charged extra for the extra time. Overall, a really fun experience for the whole family.
