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 13 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.

Read
Every rental and harbour's own price list, from its own website, with the page and the date we read it.
Make comparable
An hour of the shortest booking each sells; a group of four for two hours; your length in each harbour band.
Middle price
The median, so one luxury boat does not move the answer. Prices before VAT are kept out.
Refresh
Re-read weekly in summer and monthly in winter; a changed price is checked before it shows.

Source: Each operator’s own website (listed on the sources page)
Coverage: The boat rentals and harbours on our Utrecht pages
Last checked: Newest read 13 October 2026
Updated: Weekly April to September, monthly October to March
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.
