Adventure brief

Varen met een 8 persoons elektrische sloep • Strand22

Step aboard an electric sloop with Boei2 and discover Almere’s waterways like never before. Perfect for groups, this quiet, guided boat trip reveals a unique blend of natural calm and modern architecture.

Almere, a modern city in Flevoland, Netherlands, is defined by its innovative urban planning and extensive waterways carved from reclaimed land. Boei2 has tapped into this unique landscape with their electric sloop boat trips, offering an accessible gateway to Almere’s serene waters and striking cityscape. Whether you’re out with a group of friends, family, or colleagues, these eight-person electric sloops provide a laid-back yet engaging way to connect with the natural and architectural highlights of the area.

The sloop’s electric motor ensures a quiet ride, allowing you to glide past swaths of reed beds, tranquil ponds, and patches of Almeers groen — the region’s notable greenery. You’ll have opportunities to spot local bird species and enjoy the gentle lapping of water, all without the noise or hassle of a traditional motorboat. On routes that weave towards the city center, the contrast is compelling: sleek facades, minimalist buildings, and public art come into striking view from the water’s edge, presenting Almere like few experience it.

Boei2 prides itself on personalized instruction, guiding even first-time boaters through departure, navigation, and docking. No boating license is needed, making this an ideal day trip for anyone seeking a unique outdoor activity that balances adventure with ease. Trips range from a few hours to a full day, accommodating both quick excursions and relaxed outings.

This boat rental stands out as a refreshing way to engage with Almere’s landscape — part aquatic nature retreat, part urban sightseeing tour. With a maximum of eight guests per vessel, the atmosphere is intimate and social, perfect for gathering groups around shared views and moments on the water. In a region where land and water intertwine closely, Boei2’s electric sloops offer an environmentally friendly and memorable way to experience Almere’s evolving story and its peaceful aquatic routes.
