Utrecht, But Like You Don't Know It Yet

Your own boat. 10 people. And the city unfolding at your pace. No guide, no tourist buzz – just the rippling of the water and your conversations. This is the Domplein Terrasboot: no sloop, no mass tourism. A floating terrace where you stay, instead of sailing.

Boat Rental Utrecht: This Is How You Really Experience the City

With the Domplein, an electric terrace boat for 10 people, you sail in complete silence through the historic heart of Utrecht. No boating license, no hassle - take the helm and choose your own route. From the lively Oudegracht to the tranquil Singels: this is Utrecht as only you can experience it.

Why the Domplein?

✓ Private and spacious : Just the eight of you, no strangers.

✓ Easy to sail yourself : Instruction within 5 minutes, after which you determine the course.

✓ Electric & silent : Hear nothing but the water and each other's laughter.

✓ Two worlds in one tour : From monumental buildings to hidden green oases.

Why is the boat called 'Domplein'?

The Domplein is the historic heart of Utrecht. This is where the city was born, and this is where the idea for a boat that not only sails , but experiences, was born . Just like the square itself, the Domplein boat connects past and present: you sail past centuries-old buildings, but you determine the pace yourself.

There Is a Utrecht That Only You Know – from the Water

This is not standard tourism. This is experiencing the city like a local. Stop where you want:

At the Dom Tower for a photo you won't take anywhere else.
Under the trees of the Singels for a picnic in the greenery.
At the Oudegracht to grab a seat on a terrace – but from the water.

With the Domplein you write your own story: a laugh at a clumsy manoeuvre, a moment of amazement at how different everything suddenly feels, or the question: "Why didn't we do this before?"
