Celebrate King's Day 2027 on the water! On Tuesday 27 April 2027, cruise through the orange canals of Utrecht in a luxury sloop with UtrechtBootVerhuur. Coming with a few friends? Book single spots on board. With a larger group? Rent the whole boat for yourselves. Choose one of our four time slots and book early, because King's Day spots go fast.
On King's Day all of Utrecht turns orange. Along the Oudegracht and the city canals it's one big party, and from the boat you see it all go by without queuing anywhere. An experienced skipper steers you safely through the crowds, so all you have to do is enjoy. That makes a boat trip on King's Day in Utrecht one of the best ways to celebrate.
On King's Day 2027 we sail in four shifts of 1 hour and 45 minutes: 11:00–12:45, 13:00–14:45, 15:00–16:45 and 17:00–18:45. Between shifts there is a fifteen-minute break so everyone can board and disembark at ease. Arrive on time and you'll have the full cruise to enjoy the King's Day party on the water.
A single spot on board costs €65 per person per shift of 1 hour and 45 minutes. You'll celebrate King's Day together with other party-goers on the boat. Prefer to sail with just your own group? Then rent the whole boat for a shift, with room for up to 52 people. Contact us for pricing and availability.
On King's Day the streets and terraces of Utrecht's city centre are packed. On the boat you won't notice: you have a fixed spot with your own group, there's no waiting around, and the whole party along the canals passes right by you. It's the perfect mix of King's Day fun with the space and calm of a spot on the water.
A King's Day boat trip is fun for any group. Just the two of you or a small group of friends? Book single tickets and celebrate with other King's Day revellers on board. With your friends, family or colleagues, rent the whole sloop so you have the boat all to yourselves. For very large groups we can run several sloops at the same time.
Wear something orange, because on King's Day the whole boat should turn orange! The weather at the end of April can be changeable, so bring an extra layer or a rain jacket. Make sure you're at the boat fifteen minutes before your shift starts, so we can leave on time and you get the most out of your 1 hour and 45 minutes on the water.
Our sloop is certified for up to 52 people and has a spacious toilet on board, so there's no need to interrupt your trip. An experienced skipper always comes along. With multiple sloops we can also host large groups, ideal for a group of friends or a company outing on King's Day.
