Modern well-kept private boat

Renting a classic private boat is only a pleasure if there is enough comfort. Certainly old boats with history are often drafty and cold. Fortunately, you always hire a private boat at Amsterdam Boat Tour that has been completely modernized. The wide windows offer plenty of views over the city but are double-glazed and therefore perfectly insulated. The heating on board makes sailing possible in all seasons. The windows on the Valerie and the Marjet can go out completely. These private boats are often opened completely in the summer. The toilet is of course also an important facility.
