Upgrade your experience with a private boat rental. Valid for small groups, proposals, or corporate events. Captain included.

For those who value privacy and personalization, standing in line for a tourist boat isn't options. Enter the world of the **Salonboot**.
These are often restored antique vessels from the early 1900s, originally used by doctors or notary publics to get around the city. Today, they are floating living rooms.
## What You Get
* **Custom Route:** Want to see the obscure Western Islands? Just ask the captain.
* **Catering:** From bitterballen (Dutch meatballs) to caviar and champagne.
* **Comfort:** Heating, leather seating, and often a small onboard restroom.
## Cost Analysis
It is more expensive, obviously. Prices usually start around €180 - €250 for the first hour for the whole boat (not per person). However, if you are a group of 8-10 people, the price per person becomes surprisingly competitive with standard public tickets, while the experience is infinitely better.
