"During the warmer months, rent a boat, pack a picnic and float towards the harbour or Amstel river. No licence is required for rentals, just a sober captain over the age of 18 who can handle the intersections. Mokumboot hires out vessels from seven boarding locations across the city. For a snack, dock along the quays at Café Hesp, Hannekes Boom or Waterkant. Or head south to the widened section of the Amstel to swim in front of the tHuis aan de Amstel café."
