The city is known for many things – its iconic canals, picturesque and historic cityscape and, of course, the famous Amsterdam canal cruise – So why not combine all of these things in the best way possible and enjoy an open bar on our luxurious electric boat? No trip to Amsterdam is complete without a trip out on the canals so let’s make our Amsterdam Canal cruise the highlight of your visit!
Depart from the city center and cruise through some of the city's main canals. Make your way onto the Amstel River, under the 7 bridges, and discover hidden gems that only a local skipper and host will know how to find.
Your cruise will eventually return to the same spot in which you started, right in the city center, exactly where you will want to be after a cruise with an open bar.

I took this presta for the French audio guide who was not available so we almost understood nothing at the visit. In addition, my neighbour had 8 beers in 1 hour, I thought he was going to throw up on me at the end of the cruise. Not at all secure for children. I would not recommend it at all! The captain was hitting on a girl sitting close to him, ˆanyway, given the price, run away!

Fun time though it rained the whole time. Might be a good idea to have more umbrellas and something to wipe the wet seats off with

If you are looking for a quick one hour canal cruise then book this one! Our guide was very knowledgeable, provided us with great information and made sure we had ice for the rose and white they served. She provided lots of fun facts and was lovely!
