Rules for renting a boat during Gay Pride Amsterdam
During Gay Pride Amsterdam, the canals are filled with boats and hundreds of thousands of visitors. This means that at 6pm the canals and streets no longer look as tidy as they did before. We believe that celebrating should not be an excuse for anti-social behaviour. Therefore, we would like to remind you of the rules.
- Do not throw rubbish overboard into the water or on the dock. There is a special waste service where you can dispose of your waste.
- Do not play music! On the canals, music is played on high quality sound systems. Your tunes are therefore not only unnecessary but also prohibited.
- The captain must stay sober. So decide in advance who will steer the boat.
- Do not throw water or other stuff at the parade boats.
- You may not swim or jump into the water.
- Do not enter houseboats without permission of the owner.
- Drink in moderation, it’s a long day.
- Put on your wildest outfit! It would be a shame to leave it hanging in the closet any longer.
The normal boating rules still apply. Please read them carefully.
