At Luxe Sloepen Haarlem we give you the real local — and truly “luxe” — way to explore the city: a private self-drive boat rental in Haarlem, no license required. Our boats are stylish and well maintained, with custom-made cushions for maximum comfort.
All boats are 100% electric, so you glide through Haarlem’s canals quietly and smoothly (no engine noise or fumes). On board you’ll find a route map to help you navigate the prettiest waterways, plus a phone charging option so you can keep taking photos.
Before you depart, a friendly host welcomes you, helps you on board, explains how everything works, and shares the best routes for your rental time. After that, it’s your private adventure—set your own pace and experience Haarlem like a local.

1. When I arrived at the dock, I was given a clear explanation of how to use the boat and which route to take. The boat passed through Haarlem very quietly and silently. Everything was clean and complete. Diederik helped me leave and explained everything well. 2. The boat was very comfortable and had a stable location. The instructions I received beforehand were very clear and practical. Communication on arrival was also good. Diederik gave me a clear explanation, so I immediately knew what to do.
