Harvia Heat and Family Craftmanship: The Journey of De Saunaboot

Utrecht, a historic gem in the heart of the Netherlands, is a city built on water and connected by its iconic, centuries-old canals. Thanks to these picturesque waterways and nearby De Wijde Blik lake, boat cruises are a popular way for locals and visitors to explore the city from a unique perspective. For Arne and Maria, though, something was missing in their beloved city: the chance to enjoy a Harvia-powered cruise, combining the city’s beautiful scenery with the invigorating heat of a sauna. To bring this vision to life, Arne and Maria embarked on a journey across two countries, involving helpful family and friends and a lot of passion for sauna. The result? De Saunaboot, a floating sauna oasis, complete with a Harvia Linear 22 GreenFlame. De Saunaboot recently opened to the public and is rentable year-round – no boating license required. Read on to hear more from Arne and Maria about their incredible project.
