Unforgettable afternoon! - Today we had a really wonderful day on the water with the family with EcoBoats! ☀️🛥️ From the moment we arrived, everything was arranged. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful and even helps you with getting in and out. Then you get a clear route map and can decide for yourself where you want to sail, depending on the number of hours you have rented the boat. Really super handy! And the boat itself? Really great! Spacious, comfortable, nice seating areas and more than enough room to sit together cozily. The sailing itself is also very relaxed and easy, so you basically only have to enjoy the surroundings and each other. We really enjoyed it and look back on a wonderful and cozy day on the water. Really one of those outings that at the end you think: we want to do this again! 🥰 We therefore recommend EcoBoats 100%. Thanks for the good service and especially for an unforgettable day on the water! ☀️🛥️

Unique moment in Amsterdam - Two-hour family boat ride through the canals where we were able to enjoy ourselves in peace. The experience of steering it yourself is not provided by going on a boat. Thanks to Frasceska and her colleague (I don't remember his name) for their attention!!

Amazing time with friends at sunset: nothing better than a nice spritz in your hand, and the company you love. Eco boat - An unforgettable self-drive experience

Very pleasant experience - Very friendly received by the employee on the quay. Clear explanation of the boat, the sailing routes and the applicable rules. Boat has a double Usb charger on the side of the wheelhouse. Only downside is that the boat goes at such a 5.5 km per hour. Well, that's not so bad in itself, the maximum for when you sail in the center. But a disadvantage if you have to go all the way to and from Daniel Goedkopestraat. However, free parking from 19:00. Well, then again...
