Steel Eight-Person Motorboat through the Berger- and Egmondermeer and Alkmaar’s Canals.
From a low-slung steel hull you watch reed-fringed meadows and small birds flare from the water’s edge—this is the core promise of renting a motorboat from Go with the Flo’ot: uncomplicated access to the Berger- and Egmondermeer, a pace set at 9–10 km/h, and the option to craft the day with a picnic or a sweep into Alkmaar’s canals.

Outing Highlights
Close-to-water encounters with local flora and fauna
The Berger- and Egmondermeer is the focus of the outing: from the boat you can observe water-side vegetation and birdlife as you cruise at a gentle 9–10 km/h, making short stops to take in the scenery.
Turn the day into a canal circuit through Alkmaar
Beyond the lakes, the rental allows for a scenic extension to Alkmaar where you can make a memorable loop through the city’s grachten—Go With The Flo can advise on a suitable route to include it.
Simple, social boating with picnic options
The operator can supply a picnic basket to complete the day on the water, keeping the outing light, social, and focused on cruising rather than complicated logistics.
