How to Rent a Boat with a Discount on the Utrecht Canals

Utrecht is best discovered from the water. Navigating the historic Oudegracht, passing underneath the centuries-old wharf cellars (werfkelders), and waving at the people enjoying drinks on the terraces—it is the ultimate Utrecht experience. Whether you are a local who wants to escape the bustling city streets for an afternoon or a tourist ticking this off your bucket list, we have a special deal for you.

At Canal Cruising Utrecht, we believe that the best stories are the ones shared with friends. That is why we are offering you a major discount of nearly 20% on your next boat rental. The only thing you have to do? Share your experience with the world.

How to Get Your 20% Discount

We like to keep things simple and built on trust. No complicated terms and conditions, no endless waiting for a coupon code. Just add ‘social discount’ within your reservation. Just follow these three simple steps:

1 Book your boat via our website and get ready for an amazing time on the water.

2 Create 2 Instagram Stories during your boat trip. Show us your favorite view, your smiling friends, or that perfect sunny spot on the canal.

3 Tag @canalcruisingutrecht in both stories so we can enjoy the ride with you.

That’s it! Because we trust our clients, you don't need to wait for validation. Simply show your two posted stories to your captain or coordinator when you board or finish your trip, and we will arrange your discount on the spot.

Why Explore Utrecht by Boat?

Utrecht’s canal system is completely unique in the world. Unlike other cities where the streets meet the water, Utrecht features lower-level wharves. This means you are cruising eye-to-eye with vibrant terraces, hidden cafes, and beautiful historic houses.

Bring your own drinks, pack some snacks, invite your favorite people, and become part of the city's scenery for a day.
