Overpriced and okay

Easy to book but unreliable boats, had two boats with different problems. Would recommend another company instead.

Last minute bliss

I made a last minute booking, and I was so pleased this was even possible! The boat was ready on arrival. A kind employee received us with some (easy) instructions. We turned left and were in already in awe with the beauty of the city from the water.

Super fun sloop experience!

Super nice few hours with the boating, the boat looked good only the pillows could be a bit thicker and maybe something from backrest cushions. Otherwise well arranged, quick handling and instructions. Boat may have more power because they are limited in speed. Sailing alone on the Amstel and close to Oosterdok you really are just a little short in power. Boating in the canals is a top boat, agile and silent. But definitely recommended!

Operator response

Bedankt voor je review! Fijn om te horen dat je een paar leuke uurtjes hebt gehad op het water en dat je tevreden bent over de afhandeling en instructies. Dank ook voor je feedback over de kussens en het vermogen van de boot, dat nemen we mee om onze ervaring verder te verbeteren. We waarderen je aanbeveling en hopen je in de toekomst weer te mogen verwelkomen!

Slow boat

Boat rented at Boaty okura. Boat was so incredibly slow that we didn't get far and were back much too late. On return, the battery was almost empty....

Operator response

Bedankt voor je review. Jammer om te horen dat de ervaring niet aan je verwachtingen heeft voldaan en dat je hinder hebt ondervonden van de snelheid. Dat is uiteraard niet de bedoeling. We nemen je feedback serieus. Zou je ons een e-mail kunnen sturen? Dan kijken we er graag samen met je naar, zodat we beter kunnen begrijpen wat er precies is gebeurd en tot een passende oplossing kunnen komen.

Lovely experience!

Absolutely lovely experience!! Booked as a birthday surprise for my husband, and everything went great. Booking process is easy and even though we booked for a later time slot on that day, due to the forecast of rain, we were able to start a bit earlier. Explanations were easy to understand and the boat was easy to handle. Quiet and fun way to explore the canals on your own or with friends. Will definitely be doing this again!!

Operator response

Thank you for your review! We're glad to hear you had such a lovely experience and enjoyed exploring Amsterdam from the canals at your own pace. We hope to welcome you again in the future!

Loved renting our own boat!

We were a little hesitant about a lack of experience boating but thoroughly enjoyed our time! The 3 hours flew by! Glad we went early as the canals got busier as the day progressed.
