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.
- Onboard restrooms. Regrettably, we don't have restrooms on board. But worry not, as there are plenty of clean public facilities along the way. Make sure to check out the architecturally impressive public toilet designed by Rem Koolhaas at Academy Minerva Square.
- Rain Protection. Our boat doesn't feature a roof, but we've got a clever trick up our sleeve. We can seek shelter under a bridge if rain surprises us. However, we generally sail in fair weather to keep you dry and comfortable.
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.

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.

Spanning 11 meters, it can comfortably accommodate up to 32 passengers. The cozy layout encourages camaraderie, creating a warm atmosphere. As the Unsinkable 2 carries you on your chosen route, bask in the sunlight, enjoy a refreshing beverage, and engage in delightful conversations with colleagues, friends, or family.
