An Unforgettable WorldPride Experience in Amsterdam! 🌈🚤 - We hired the boat for WorldPride 2026 in Amsterdam, with Frank as our skipper, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Frank did an amazing job from start to finish. He kept the unlimited drinks flowing, made sure our snacks were constantly topped up, and was incredibly attentive throughout the entire trip. His friendly and relaxed approach really helped make the day so special. There were 30 of us on board, and everyone fit comfortably with plenty of space to enjoy ourselves. We had such a fantastic time celebrating WorldPride on the Amsterdam canals and made some amazing memories. A huge thank you to Frank for looking after us so well and helping make it such an unforgettable experience. We would absolutely recommend the boat and Frank as a skipper! 🥂🚤🏳️‍🌈

WORST EXPERINCE-READ BEFORE HIRING FOR PRIVATE TOUR - WORST EXPERIENCE EVER! I do not know what boat we rented, but we rented to to watch the world pride parade on it. Our captain of the boat (Thijs) was a HORRIBLE person! If you get him run, I feel he might be a homophobe. When I arrived on the boat I introduced myself to be polite. He told me his name but was angry. He then said he had been up for 3 days and was tired and didn't want to be there. The ONLY rules he gave us was trash on left can, bottles and cans on right. No other rules were given. The ENTIRE parade he sat either on the edge of the boat flirting with the boat of girls next to us, or in the captains chair yelling at my friends with a sour look. In fact, we had to empty all the trash and clean up the boat as he did nothing at all! After the parade was over, we paid to go through the canals and be dropped off where we started. First, he didn't want to do the canal tour. Once he agreed he take us, he took us 30 min away and just docked the boat and told everyone to get off. He said he was tired of us not following the rules (which we weren't told) and no one respecting his boundary (which everyone was). Luckily for us, the dock was locked as i did not want to walk 30 minutes home. So we all got back on the boat and he immediately took us back to the original spot. He tried to be all macho saying he is from a military family and he was in the military. He then lied to the owner of the shop/company about what happened. I know this, because our friend went to the shop Monday to complain and the owner said he called her and she believes him. She also said he was over everything that was happening on the canal, um it is world pride what did he think???? If you are looking to hire them for a private tour, I say do not.
