We embark on our journey in the tranquil early hours, offering unparalleled photo opportunities with no other vessels in sight!
Most tours stick to a set path, offering generic commentary. We, however, pride ourselves on delivering exceptional, personalised, engaging, and educational trips. Our venture begins on the Canal Ring (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), and the adventure unfolds from there.
We’ve been cruising in a truly unique ship since 2021 - a 1928 former Dutch government boat that once catered to state leaders, mayors, and Dutch royalty. The vessel offers a cosy and accommodating atmosphere; it’s entirely electric, fitted with movable windows, a sunroof, an open rear deck, heating, and an onboard toilet (a true luxury).
In simpler terms: It’s the perfect vessel for canal exploration.
We’re honoured to have received the ‘Best Amsterdam Boat tour’ Award, earned the Badge of Excellence, and listed among the top-rated Airbnb Experiences!
We look forward to welcoming you aboard,
Captain Dave Amsterdam
