Would you like to relax after a busy day of sightseeing? Leave behind the chaos of the overcrowded streets and loud bicycle bells. Instead, step aboard our boat and enjoy the peaceful ambiance of Amsterdam’s canals!
This private cruise offers the rare opportunity to sail the canals like a local! That means no giant tourist boats packed with strangers. You’ll have the chance to slow down and take in views of the historic waterways by night as you travel through the UNESCO-listed Canal District and De Wallen.
Gliding along the water as the sunset paints Amsterdam orange is simply magical. With our customizable itinerary, you can even select a drop-off point near that cute little pub you’ve been wanting to visit. This is truly an unforgettable experience that you’ll be bragging about for years to come.

5.00Relaxed, informative, great captain! We throughly enjoyed this trip and Captain Deep was great. Informative without over talking, small enough boat to be intimate and yet plenty of room to spread out!
What a scam!

1.00Don't recommend at all, absolute rip-off for the money! Boat is nothing special, no amenities and no drinks (as promised in the description). 1 hour 20 minutes through a few canals in Jordaan at 20 km/h, not covering many sights. Tour "guide" is an international student, recently moved to Amsterdam and learned 3 Wikipedia facts. Instead of some history or interesting facts, we just got awkward small talk about food and religion (not kidding). Felt scammed afterwards
Great experience
