The canals in Giethoorn are only one metre deep. This makes renting a boat very suitable for families with small children. There is enough space in the boat for a stroller, buggy or Maxi-Cosi, which can be placed safely on the bottom of the boat. For safety, children without a swimming certificate always receive a life jacket.

In addition to our popular electric boats, we offer several other options for boat rental to make the most of your day in Giethoorn:
A full-day boat rental in Giethoorn starts at €195. This gives you the boat from 10:30 – 17:30. You can also rent a boat from as little as 2 hours, starting at €70.
A whisper boat is less luxurious than a sloop. A whisper boat is controlled directly via the electric motor, while a sloop has a steering wheel. Renting a whisper boat is also cheaper. A sloop starts from €195 per day, while a whisper boat starts from €75.
No boating licence is required. The boat is very easy to operate. A boating licence is only needed if a boat is longer than 15 metres or faster than 20 km/h. Neither applies to our whisper boats or electric boats.
We rent out two types of electric boats. One variant fits up to 5 people, and the other fits up to 6 people.
Enjoy a wonderful day out in Giethoorn from the water in one of our boats. Thanks to the convenient location of our company, you can rent a boat at two locations in the centre of Giethoorn. Our fleet includes 20 authentic punters, more than 25 electric whisper boats, 8 sloops and 15 kayaks and canoes. At Recreatiebedrijf Geythorn you can rent a boat in Giethoorn for as little as 2 hours, a full day or even several days.
After a day on the water you can enjoy delicious food and drinks in our restaurant, from coffee and cake to a complete dinner. All boats you rent with us can also be combined with our various packages.
