Self-drive

An hour on a self-drive boat, cheapest first.

What an hour costs for the whole boat on the shortest booking each rental sells (a "~" means we divided a package by its hours). For 4 people out for 2 hours, 16 rentals have a price: €16.25 to €50 each, €23 in the middle.

Before city tax. Every self-drive rental side by side.

With a skipper

An hour with a skipper, cheapest first.

A private boat with its skipper, whole boat, on the shortest booking each sells. For 8 people out for 2 hours, 21 have a price: €36 to €75 each. Prices published before VAT are left out of the figures, never mixed in.

Harbours

A night in a harbour, by boat length.

What a visiting boat pays for a night at the middle harbour for each length. Each harbour's own band for your length; prices before VAT left out.

Limits of the data

A guide, not a quote. Confirm when you book.

These are the prices each operator publishes, read from their own website (newest read 18 October 2026). Seasons, deals and extras such as fuel, deposit or city tax move the final bill; deals for members or a set start time never set a figure here. Operators who only quote on request have no price, so the middle price leans to those who publish one.

Data and methodology

How we built it from official data to this page.

  1. Read

    Every rental and harbour's own price list, from its own website, with the page and the date we read it.

  2. Make comparable

    An hour of the shortest booking each sells; a group of four for two hours; your length in each harbour band.

  3. Middle price

    The median, so one luxury boat does not move the answer. Prices before VAT are kept out.

  4. Refresh

    Re-read weekly in summer and monthly in winter; a changed price is checked before it shows.

About the data
Prices are as each operator publishes them, VAT included, before city tax and deposits.
What we add
We put every price on the same footing (an hour, a group, a length) and take the middle. We never change a published price.
