Serene Boating on Delft’s Canals

Experience Delft from a unique angle

Gliding silently over Delft’s canals is stunning in itself, but it gets even better when you plot your own course!

The bridges, the architecture, the odd perspective.
But also discovering long stretched tunnels and sneaking a peek to see what’s behind a variety of windows add to the splendor

A great activity for young and old

I can really recommend looking at Delft from below, just like my 9-year old and I did last summer. On a sunny morning we rented a boat from Randstad Recreaties and embarked on a family adventure!

Randstad Recreaties offers 1-7 hour boating experiences in Delft. The electric boats are conveniently moored right next to Delft Central Station, at a 10 minute walk from the city’s central square and offer space to about 6 people.

Book yours in advance because if the weather is nice they’re bound to be rented out!

If you’re too late, the alternative can be the narrated city cruise.
It’s a different experience but it comes with a lot of information.

Here are some impressions from my own trip
