On arrival you will receive a free sailing route map that will be explained by one of our employees. You will then receive sailing instructions and sailing through Giethoorn can begin. A sailing license is not required to rent a whisper boat.
Please note: only the electric sloops are available in the months of January and February. In addition, we want to have the sloops and tour boats back in at 4:00 p.m. getting dark early. The last possibility to rent a sloop is from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. The last cruise is from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM.

Our fleet consists of 3 types of boats, namely: the electric sloop 1-8 persons, console boat 1-6 persons and the whisper boat 1-6 persons. Which boat you choose depends on the number of people, the way of steering (steering wheel or engine handle), the degree of comfort and your budget.

Principles for booking a boat
Our boats can be rented in time blocks of 2, 3, 4 and 6 hours (all day). In the weekends, on public holidays and in the months of July and August you can only book in the morning. You can then choose from the starting times 10 and 11 am. If you notice that no times are available in the afternoon on the above days, then this is correct. On other days you can book in the afternoon. Are the start times 10:00 and 11:00 no longer displayed or is the date in the calendar red or not clickable? Then the chosen type of boat i.c.m. the time block is not available.
