Of course you and your friends want to be as close to the parade as possible. This is the place to be! Canal Motorboats has managed to get a few spots, because nowadays you need to have a vignette to be allowed on the route with a boat.
At Canal Motorboats you can rent a boat for the whole day during Gay Pride Amsterdam 2022. You can pick up the boat early in the morning and when the Parade is over at 18:00 hrs (6 pm) you can bring it back to us. The exact time you can pick up the boat is still to be announced. We will assign you an area where you can park the boat during Gay Pride.

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.
The normal boating rules still apply. Please read them carefully.
