You can find Stromma Utrecht with its Pedal Boat jetty at the Oudegracht 165, which is also the embarkation and disembarkation point for the paddle boats. The dock is located near the old library opposite the Winkel van Sinkel.

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!

You can rent a pedal boat between 11:30 in the morning and 16:00 in the afternoon, so you can still pedal until half past five.
