- N1992IQmaxr0 contributionsnight boat tourhad an amazing experience on the canals went at night and it snowed and we brought tea and coffee and had a lovely time going up to Harlem would recommendWritten December 1, 2024
- J2454ZVmaxl0 contributionsGreat experience with Luxe SloepenAmazing trip, very quiet and comfy boat with great drivers. Great way to see the city of Haarlem from a differeny angle. Will definitely be coming backWritten November 27, 2024
- 475ricke0 contributionsFirst Class TourAbsolutely first class. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and open to questions. As it was a small boat, two way dialogue was possible with the guide, rather than him reading from a script. The small boat was also able to navigate some of the smaller canals which the bigger boats can't enter. I highly recomment this company.Written October 26, 2024
- LizzieLouoftheGlen0 contributionsCruising Haarlem’s Canals in StyleA lovely way to experience Haarlem’s waterways and learn more about this beautiful and interesting town. My husband booked the tour and we were very glad we chose the open boat option over the enclosed top alternatives which were packed with people. With only six of us aboard in the October sunshine, it was a real treat. Our guide, Walter, was engaging and knowledgeable and made the trip a pleasure. The glass of fizz was nice too! .Written October 13, 2024
- NoahDobner0 contributionsCaptain Louis is best!I had an amazing boat ride with Captain Louis! The trip was smooth, relaxing, and filled with great views of Amsterdam. Louis was a knowledgeable and friendly captain, ensuring that we were comfortable and informed about the sights we passed. His experience showed throughout the ride, making it an enjoyable and memorable experience. Highly recommend!Written October 2, 2024

- alexlS4248MY0 contributions“Private tour” with a true “Mosquito”My daughter and I were the only ones who signed up for the 1:00pm time slot so we ended up with a private tour! Our guide, Warden (a real Mosquito - that’s what true locals call themselves - fun fact from Warden) was great! Very friendly and informative. I would recommend this tour to anyone.Written September 16, 2024
- D356NOallisonb0 contributionsFun and informative!We signed up for the first tour of the day and ended up being the only ones there, so we accidentally ended up with our very own private tour! It was lots of fun; we learned a bunch about the history of Haarlem and even a little bit about the United States that we hadn’t heard before! Would definitely recommend! Word of advice: if it’s even a mildly warm day, wear a hat!Written September 8, 2024

Super fast departure, few instructions and you sail away immediately. The silent electric boat is really modern, you hear all kinds of things around you (birds, crickets etc ) outside the city and people laughing and cheerful inside the city. Boat is super easy to operate. And friendly landlords. Recommended

Top boats!
Getting on and off is super organised, the boats are big enough and have lovely cushions.
The entire route that you can sail passes many highlights of Haarlem, so that you can get to know the city well from the water! :)

Fantastic afternoon in Haarlem!! Mats and Boaz were very helpful in getting us out and back in and explaining the best route. It was such an enjoyable trip and beautiful weather. Kids had a blast as well. The boats are very comfortable and spacious for 4 adults and 3 kids, I highly recommend!!!

Nice, neat boat, whisper quiet (literally, because fully electric), nice and spacious and very easy to drive. If you want to rent a nice boat: book it. Super nice, thoughtful people. The boat was equipped with steps - this made it easy for the boys to climb back into the boat after jumping into the water. What else do you want? Ok.. sometimes, maybe a little more speed (they are limited) ;) Then again, nice way to relax and officially you are not allowed to go fast anyway...

It was, in one word, amazing!!
The boat was perfect and our dog had a great time!
Partly because of the weather, this was something not to forget.
The employee who was waiting for us was very friendly and explained everything very clearly, this was our first time.
We also only saw happy faces on the other boats from Luxury Sloops Haarlem that we encountered on the water.
This experience is truly “AMAZING”

So far this has been the highlight of our trip! The boats are easy to use and extraordinarily comfortable. It did take me a couple of minutes to get the hang of it, but nothing that 10 minutes of filling it out doesn’t cure. We spent the full three hours on the boat – planning to dock but having so much fun that we stayed on the whole time.

We had a great afternoon out on the water on Kingsday recently ! Highly recommended.
Easy free parking nearby the starting point ( unlike other boat rentals in Haarlem). Clean, spacious and well maintained electric boat. Comfortable seats with good pillows. Nice , knowledgeable and helpful staff, who effortlessly switched to English when they realised we weren’t natives. They also very kindly helped us with a broken bike lock when we were leaving, so kind! A big thank you for that guys!
We will definitely be back!

Definitely recommended! Beautiful boats with a spick-and-span interior, with a clear route map indicated. Well helped on the way, but the boat was extremely user-friendly so no child involved. Also no noise from the outboard motor, which makes it easier to have a conversation with each other.

A beautiful boat with good cushions to sit on. The boat was neat. We were 12 adults there went fine. The route along the beautiful buildings of Haarlem for 2 hours was mapped out. You could take advantage of that. The boat was neatly taken care of by Maurits. -Thank you.
