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.

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"

5.00Excellent trip. Gisela was a fantastic tour guide. We had a beautiful day to see the city at its finest . The other people on board were friendly and we all enjoyed ourselves by chatting and sharing experiences. There was plenty of alcohol and soft drinks and some lovely snacks. Would totally recommend it see and hear about the history of this beautiful city.

3.00You'll likely notice "all-inclusive" in the title which is important to note. You can drink and eat and drink to your heart's content. The guide/driver was knowledgeable and pointed out interesting landmarks. The downside is that in cold-weather months you're sitting in the bottom of the boat looking in (at the food, wine and beer) rather than having the easy ability to look out at the sites of Amsterdam. In short, the cruise was what it said it would be; just not what we hoped for as an intro to the city.
The Capt Jack Canal Cruise is GREAT
