Between March and April, only closed boats operate on 11am, 1pm, 3pm, 5pm, and 7pm departures. All other times and Saturdays feature open boats.

Live Local Storytelling

Your captain acts as a local host, sharing engaging history, lesser-known facts, and Amsterdam humor. This interaction creates a warm and conversational group experience.

Dutch Snacks & Drinks
