See Amsterdam the way it was meant to be seen—gliding effortlessly through its stunning canals on a stylish open boat. No crowded sidewalks, no rush—just pure relaxation and breathtaking views.

Choose your perfect starting point—either right in the heart of the city at Damrak Pier 5 (opposite Central Station) or steps away from the iconic Rijksmuseum. Seats are limited, so secure yours now and experience Amsterdam the way the locals love it.

    Amazing experience, leonard was our captain and he was really funny and told us some really interesting facts and also some history about amsterdam. The fee was 21€ per person which is a good price for the service we got ! The duration was 1 hour long which is perfect timing. The atmosphere was AMAZING the whole boat was talking together with the captain and asking question which he always answered. Crowd size can go up to 50 and we were to 25. Best for history of amsterdam , best sighseeing and amazing photos.
