Watersportcentrum Sloterplas

4.4 ·

Head to Watersportcentrum Sloterplas, a water sports base on Nieuw-West's big lake. Rent a kayak, paddle across the open water or into nearby canals, and enjoy a quieter side of Amsterdam.

📖

Full description

Watersportcentrum Sloterplas is based on the large Sloterplas lake in Amsterdam Nieuw-West and offers kayaks and boats for hire. Reviewers describe renting a kayak by the hour and paddling nearby canals, and one noted the lake is big enough that an hour felt short.

Staff are described as friendly, and the centre also hosts community activities, including boat decorating for local Pride celebrations. It suits families and couples looking for time on the water away from the central canals.
