90-Minute Small Group Canal Cruise – Discover Amsterdam from the Water
Escape the bustle of the city streets and experience Amsterdam from its most beautiful vantage point – the water. Join us for a 90-minute canal cruise in a small group and enjoy a relaxed, intimate journey through the city's iconic canals and hidden gems.
Your local captain and guide will share fascinating stories and fun facts as you glide past historic landmarks, charming bridges, and picturesque neighborhoods. We’ll explore not only the famous waterways but also quieter, lesser-known canals that reveal the city's peaceful side.
Our boat is a modern, electric, and open vessel, offering cushioned seating and a cozy, eco-friendly way to enjoy the views. With a maximum of 12 guests, you’re guaranteed a personal and comfortable experience.
Drinks are available for purchase, and you're also welcome to bring your own snacks and beverages.

5.00great way to experience Amsterdam, slowly cruising in a very small and brand new electric vessel through canals which the large competitors cannot access.

5.00A really good experience. Super Captain and guide. Very comfortable, clear and easy to understand English. Appropriate with information and information and yet good at answering in-depth questions. Well chosen route, old Amsterdam, kidneys and little industry harbour. Everything we wanted to see. Small boat and exclusive experience. EL powered boat is just silent and pleasant on the trip. Super experience - like that.
