Pride Amsterdam 2026
From July 26 to August 3, 2026, Amsterdam will be bursting with all the colors of the rainbow during the 28th edition of Pride! The highlight? The Canal Parade on Saturday, August 2. The Prinsengracht will have limited access this year, but no worries: you’ll have front-row seats on your own boat. Rent a boat for 8 people or go all out with a luxury boat with skipper for up to 40 guests. The best way to experience the Canal Parade is from the water.
Boat for 8 people for €385 per day
Renting a boat for up to 8 people costs €385 for the whole day (incl. VAT, excl. € 100,- deposit). You pick up the boat in the morning and return it after the parade.
You won’t be sailing in the parade and you don’t need to choose your own spot. We’ve got you covered: you’ll have a fixed mooring in one of our reserved zones, right next to the Canal Parade.
Luxury boat for 40 people for €4,000
Our large luxury boats are located at the very best spot along the entire route, right on the Prinsengracht, opposite the Pulitzer. That means you won’t miss a thing: the boats sail by while you dance (or simply stand back and enjoy) with a cold drink in your hand – the Mokum way!
You can rent your private boat from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM, including drinks. Everything is delivered chilled, including ice. This comes down to €100 per person (based on 40 people) and €14.29 per person per hour.

Cool experience and great service by Max

Hiring a boat from Mokumboot was easily one of the highlights of our trip to Amsterdam! Exploring the beautiful canals at our own pace was such a unique experience and a fantastic way to see the city from a different perspective. The whole process was smooth from start to finish. Before our trip, I emailed the company with a few questions and Belen was incredibly professional, friendly, and helpful. The customer service really stood out and made us feel confident in our booking. On the day, the staff were welcoming and explained everything clearly, making the experience completely stress-free. The boats were easy to use and gave us the freedom to enjoy Amsterdam’s stunning canals whenever and wherever we wanted. I would highly recommend Mokumboot to anyone visiting Amsterdam. Excellent service, great value, and an unforgettable experience. We will definitely be using their services again on our next visit.

Mokumboot is a fantastic and very accommodating tour operator; communication was always friendly and prompt. There was a misunderstanding during the booking process, but it was handled very efficiently and with excellent customer service. The boats look great, and a boat tour in Amsterdam is always worthwhile :-) Great service at fair prices!
