Due a lot of traffic at the dock, I can't wait more than 5 minutes. Please make sure you are at the dock 10 minutes before departure.
A fairly big step needs to be taken to get in the boat. Of course we will assist you.
Beware all my boats are open. So when it rains, you can get wet. But rebooking with rain is always possible
I always try to give the best tour possible (5*). But in rare occasion things don't go as you and me would like. Please let me know asap. Either direct or send me an email of text. I will contact you.
The tour is a historical canal cruise, it is not a booze cruise. So if you are looking for a bachelor party boat or any other booze cruise, this is not the cruise for you.
Captain Jack is collaboration between friends. Captain Jack is not himself on the boat.

Leonard was our captain, and he was amazing! Very friendly and accommodating with blankets and umbrellas on a rainy day! As a tour guide, he was very informative, and even though this was my second Captain Jack canal tour, I learned new things about Amsterdam!

This was a great introduction to Amsterdam and our guide Leonard was informative and interactive. Definitely recommend doing this early in your trip.

We booked this tour in advance and on the day of the tour it was raining and chilly. Others who were supposed to be on the tour rescheduled, but it was our last day in Amsterdam. David was our guide and though I’m sure he did not want to be out in that weather, he never showed it. He was a great host, and we ended up having a great time on what became a private tour. Despite the weather, I would do it again!

Rose and I had a wonderful time on the Amsterdam All-Inclusive Canal Cruise with Captain Jack Tours. Our captain, Roland, was a fantastic host—knowledgeable, engaging, and full of great stories. He created a fun, interactive atmosphere that made everyone feel welcome. While we don’t drink, it was clear the other guests were enjoying the included wine and Heineken. The real highlight for us was the conversation, the beautiful evening views, and Roland’s insights into the history and charm of Amsterdam. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a relaxed and memorable way to experience the canals! —Rick & Rose
