Easy to rent (online), but can also be done on site if there are still available boats. Very friendly staff, it is not necessary to have a license to drive a boat, you get a short course on the spot. The engine is electric, you can't go faster than 6 km per hour, easy to drive. You will also receive a map that indicates the route through the canals you can navigate. We rented a boat for 2 hours, and it is possible for longer. A maximum of 8 people can fit on the boat, you can take drinks and food with you and have a picnic while driving. Great experience - definitely to recommend! 👍😊
