Your whole fleet online, completely taken care of

Familieboten is the booking platform for boat hire companies in Friesland. We put your fleet online and make sure your calendar and prices are always up to date. All you need to do is give your permission. We're out on the water ourselves, we're based in Franeker and we know Friesland well.

We make sure it works

We sync your calendar and prices with Familieboten, so guests always see what's genuinely available.

  • We list your boats: you don't need to enter or upload anything on our platform. We do that for you.
  • We fit in with the way you work: we agree how we communicate and handle bookings based on how you work.
  • Always an up-to-date calendar: if a boat is booked with you, it can't be booked with us.
  • Always up-to-date prices: if a rate changes, it's updated on our platform straight away.
