Punterwerf Wildeboer traditional boat rental In Giethoorn North, one of the last two surviving ‘punter’ boatyards of Giethoorn can be found. The love for these handcrafted oak-wood boats, handed down from generation to generation. Our boats are built with extra width and higher sides, creating more room within the boat and making it safer. In that way the boat takes in less water while on the lakes and when the wind picks up. The boats are equipped with roomy chests for you to sit on and stow away your possessions, placed opposite each other for ease of conversation! We’re happy to provide you with cushions, and on nippy days we’ll give you a nice warm fleece blanket to keep you snug and comfortable. The ‘punter’ can seat 8 people and being built of oak it is very stable in the water. Clearly – the perfect boat to rent! Experience the Weerribben-Wieden National Park, a breath-taking area full of wildlife, from the water. This boat costs €25 per hour, or € 125 per day (8 ours)
