Description

Unlike crowded canal boats, these small open boats provide fresh air and intimate views of the canal-side scenery. Their size allows you to glide into narrow, less-visited waterways inaccessible to bigger tour boats.

Your private captain also acts as a guide, sharing stories about Amsterdam’s landmarks and lesser-known sites. As you pass under Amsterdam’s bridges, your skipper will provide insights into canal life and local history.

Refreshments including beer, wine, water, and soft drinks can be purchased before boarding at the ticket shop. Choose your departure point: Damrak or Rijksmuseum, each offering a unique city perspective.
