The Stromma shops can be found at various locations throughout the city. Find them on our locations page.
For all the Stromma products, it is only possible to book for groups of 20 people or more, so this also applies for the Pedal Boat. In Utrecht, there are only 13 water bikes available which is why bookings can be made for groups of 15 people or more.

Unfortunately, our boats are not accessible for wheelchairs. It is always necessary to climb three steps in order to board and many of the jetties are only accessible by stairs. However, if it is possible to fold the wheelchair and you are able to manage some steps, you can board. For safety reasons, the aisle must be kept free of objects.
This depends on the season and on the weather on the day itself. Unfortunately, we cannot give exact opening times, but they will be at least from 10 am to 5.30 pm. On the day itself, you can contact us on +31 20 217 0500 to ask about the actual opening times.
