Welcome to Bootje Speciaal
Each boat journey with us is a unique experience!
What not to expect...
-
- Historical guided tours. While our skilled skippers may not be history buffs, they are exceptionally sociable and friendly.
- Toilet on board. Unfortunately, there is no toilet on board this boat. However, we do offer several beautiful public toilets along the way, carefully cleaned by the municipality. Certainly the Rem Koolhaas-designed public toilet on Academy Minerva Square is worth a pee.
*Terrace special is of course equipped with toilet on board. - Sitting dry during the rain. The boat has no roof, although we can take shelter under a bridge in case of a cloudburst. But to avoid getting wet, we prefer to sail only when the weather is good.
*Terrace special has a convertible roof that opens in good weather and, when it rains, simply sails on with the 'convertible roof' closed, keeping everyone dry.
What you can look forward to…
-
- Cold refreshments. As you soak up the sun and enjoy the company, you might find yourself craving a cold drink. We've got you covered with a diverse selection of beverages.
- Disco LED lights. Our boat comes alive with vibrant Disco LED lights, setting the perfect mood. Of course, no disco is complete without music, and we've got that covered too.
- Electric sailing. Our boat is equipped with a powerful electric motor. This has several advantages: you can hear each other talk while sailing, you don't have to deal with constant diesel fumes, and it's much friendlier to the environment, the canal, and the ducks.

Where's the Party at?
Renting a boat with Bootje Speciaal is very popular!
Had a super fun afternoon and evening on Bootje Speciaal! The boat is very spacious and has a great barbecue. Furthermore, the owner is very friendly and explains the do's and don'ts well. Definitely a recommendation for anyone who wants to have a nice and enjoyable boat trip.
Robert
Fantastic tour guide, easily adapts to the audience (in this case, students) and can then blend in as "one of the guys", but I have no doubt that he could also engage with a group of retirees.

Meet the boat
Never sink twice
With the Unsinkable 2 no sea is too high. Well, a sea cruise might be a little too streaky. But for a tour of Groningen's beautiful canals or a trip on the open water, this boat is your ideal partner. With its length of 11 metres, there is room for up to 34 people, a cosy bunch! The boat has a cosy layout that allows you to sit closer together, nice and cosy. Furthermore, the seats have comfortable cushions. So even after your day on the water, you can still sit somewhere normal. Which is nice. While the Unsinkable 2 you take anywhere, you enjoy the sunshine, a drink and good conversations with your colleagues, friends or family. Can you picture it?
