You can find Stromma Utrecht with its Pedal Boat jetty at the Oudegracht 165, which is also the embark and disembark location point for the paddle boats. The dock is located near the old library opposite the Winkel van Sinkel. We are located right in the center so there are many restaurants nearby for a cup of coffee, a nice lunch or a well-deserved drink for before or after the activity.

The canals of Utrecht: the Oudegracht
The beautiful sailing route across the city leads you, among other things, along the most famous canal of all: the Oudegracht. Constructed in the Middle Ages with its wharves on both sides, it is unique in the world. The canal was laid out at the beginning of the 12th century. You can still taste the Middle Ages today when you rent a boat or a pedal boat and travel along the waterways. For a moment back in time!
