Best boat cruise - The boat cruise was amazing! The host was friendly and knowledgeable, made sure we always had drinks and answered any questions we had! Lots of drinks to choose from and the snack board was lovely! The boat was heated and covered, also comfy and had blankets available. 10/10 can’t recommend enough!

I work in the industry, but some parties might be able to match this. - A very nice boat, very skilled employees. Well that's how I'll stop, if I have to supply a minimum number of characters for tripadvidvisor. Done with this.

Enjoying the beauty of Amsterdam from the Canals - We had a wonderful and intimate evening aboard Pure Boats for the Festival of Lights. We learned some history and saw some great architecture. We loved the lounge-vibe with wide variety of snacks, beer and wine included. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend! Thanks for making our trip to Amsterdam memorable.

Best Boat tour company - We did our second Amsterdam light show tour with Pure Boats. It was excellent in an old Heineken boat, and the staff was very welcoming, joyful, and very informative. We definitely recommend Pur Boats. The departure point is right in the center, on the pleasant Herengracht canal.

Elegant and Romantic - This was such a wonderful experience! Rick and Lisa were super knowledgeable about the city. The boat was beautiful, the snacks were delicious and the wine was plentiful. A truly special experience - not the touristy experience you see with many boat tours, this was cosy, romantic and elegant.

Great Experience whilst in Amsterdam - Did the evening cruise. Will was an excellent captain. The boat only holds around 15 people so made the cruise very relaxed. Cheese and wine (or other) supplied throughout the cruise. Great experience for our first trip to Amsterdam. Only thing I would change is the passenger loading. A bit of a free for all when should be first there, first on, etc. Maybe some ropes guiding you to the boat to make this more fair.

Good tour- poor communication - The canal tour was very nice and the lights were beautiful on the canal. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and the drinks plentiful. I’m a professional travel advisor who takes tours all around the world. My issue was the lack of communication regarding the meeting point. We were told (email) location of 106- where we got on the wrong boat for a private tour and were told to walk to the office to find out where our boat was docked. This took place 10 minutes prior to the boat leaving. We were 45 min early waiting at the wrong location- no email, no communication of a change. The girl at the office instructed us if the new dock - which was a 5 minute sprint so we wouldn’t miss the boat. We made it, but needless to say- stressed once embarking on the tour. They definitely need better communication if the location is going to be changed or proper instructions to check in at their office prior to your tour.
