Open Boats only from April 1st till November 1st!
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.
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.
Due Health regulations (regarding food) animals are not allowed (service animals excluded).
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.
Cancellation Policy
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
What To Expect
Rijksmuseum
We dock right in front of the Rijksmuseum (Rijksmuseum departure) Take a moment to enjoy this amazing museum. Beautiful as a building and amazing expositions. And of course the master piece of the world famous Rembrandt called the Nachtwacht (Night watch).
Amsterdam Canal Ring
Amsterdam, capital of the Netherlands, has more than one hundred kilometers of grachten (canals), about 90 islands and 1,500 bridges. The three main canals (Herengracht, Prinsengracht and Keizersgracht), dug in the 17th century during the Dutch Golden Age, form concentric belts around the city, known as the Grachtengordel. Alongside the main canals are 1550 monumental buildings.[1] The 17th-century canal ring area, including the Prinsengracht, Keizersgracht, Herengracht and Jordaan, were listed as UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2010,[2] contributing to Amsterdam's fame as the "Venice of the North"

4.00Captain was great. Good stories. Enjoyed seeing everything from the canals. Wish they had had someone on the boat serving the snacks and drinks. We were sitting away from the drinks and it was hard to get to them.
Excellent canal tour!

5.00Very enjoyable canal tour. Our guide Thomas was extremely pleasant, intelligent and informative. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Light snacks and drinks were available. Our only complaint is that we should have booked a 2 hour tour. Thomas was so informative and pleasant that the 90 minutes went by too fast and we wanted more time on the tour with him.
Fantastic

5.00The lad who took us around all the canals was very knowledgeable and brought humour into the tour Not only did we have a great selection of wines to help ourselves to, there was Heineken and soft drinks aswell. Great tour and highly recommended. After a lot of discussion, myself and my husband think the guide was called Elliot or Alyian. Sorry for not getting his name right. But he was very very enjoyable to listen too
Fun day on the canal

5.00Great tour of the canals of Amsterdam. Our guide was knowledgeable and extremely personable. He had a great sense of humor. Our family of four enjoyed it. It was oppressively hot and full sun. The boat provided umbrellas for shade which was appreciated. Snacks and drinks were provided. Overall great cruise.
