Hot Tug Rotterdam
De HotTug

What’s hot, wet, and relaxing all over? Find out in a mobile hot tub cruising down the canals, definitely one of the most unique ways to experience Rotterdam!

• Can I get a hot tub? Hot Tug is the world’s first wood-fired hot tub that can be sailed electronically! How does it work? There’s a stainless steel wood stove on the inside of the boat, keeping you and your friends in a warm state of bliss the entire ride. Did you know? Heated bathtubs date back to the ancient Egyptians as early as 2000 B.C.! The earliest form of hot tubs were used by placing sizzling stones in a crater filled with water. Innovation has brought the hot tub a long way, and now you and your 7 closest friends can experience this wild ride! Or keep it to just you and your loved one for an incredibly romantic date night.
• We really recommend this activity for couples and groups! Peaceful and unique, this experience lasts for 2 starts and starts at the docking point of Vessel 11 - A British Gastro-Pub where you can fill up on delicious English dishes. You’ll get incredible city views gliding past the Rotterdam skylines. Feeling extra adventurous? Dive into the canal! The cold will definitely be a shock, but at least you know you’ve got a cozy 38 degree tub to greet you. This means the tub can sail year round - sun, rain, or snow can’t stop the tug! Complete your trip with beers and drinks, race two tubs at the same time, or add extra sail times to maximize your relaxation.
• Dutch designer Frank de Bruijn is the genius behind this unique experience. He wanted to combine relaxation and freedom with the busy city of Rotterdam. And what says relaxation more than a hot tub? What started as a personal project in 2012 quickly gained international attention, sailing through several European cities including Helsinki, London, and Zurich.
