A fantastic experience

We spent a year looking forward to this holiday, with lots of preparation and anticipation: planning the route, gathering supplies and keeping in touch with Taco via WhatsApp. The boat is spacious enough for us and wonderfully cosy. Easy to handle, and the perfect height for the smaller waterways and bridges. We've already booked our next holiday.

How it works

From searching to sailing

1. Search & choose

Find the boat that suits you. Search by period and number of people. Filter by type, price and facilities and compare boats from local owners.

2. Book online

Sorted in just a few steps. Pay securely online. You can see exactly what you're paying up front: hire, service costs, final cleaning and deposit are listed separately. You can also place the boat on option for a few days.

3. Go boating!

A personal handover. The owner welcomes you and your fellow travellers at the marina and gives you a thorough explanation of the boat. After that, the water is yours.
