    We were with 6 friends. We rented the Dauphine , a 1910 salon boot that sits max. 12 persons. It was a beautiful boat with heating and a toilet on board. The captain Maxim was a great tour guide!! Highly recommend

    Victor was a wonderful captain and tour was very enjoyable. The 1 1/2 hour tour went by quickly. We should have booked a longer cruise.

  • Perfect bday outing!

The boat was Hanneke and it was really big and luxury. Our guests were very satisfied and enjoyed. Thank you for making our day amazing.

  • BoatNow created the highlight of our Amsterdam trip with this private customized city tour

    We had a private city tour with the Sarah, a gorgeous “salonboat” that holds 12 - we were 6 (incl two teenagers), combined with bubbles, soda, luxury bites (Dutch oysters (yum)), cheese, charcuterie and bar bites and bitterballen. - Handy to know that these kinds of boats also have a bathroom onboard. What a treat, to tour with this lovely boat through the smallest of canals outside the regular tourist routes and to see Amsterdam from the water. (And Yes, we also did the “must see” things. Bryce was a fun, competent and knowledgeable skipper full with fun facts and trivia. What’s also great is that Boatnow allows you to define your pickup and dropoff point, so whilst we were picked up almost beside our hotel, we could continue out city exploration by foot from a city center dropoff at the wonderful cafe de jaren. Strong recommendation to use Boatnow, easy booking, great service and communication, sharp price and easy (safe) payment.

    My wife and I indulged in chartering a beautiful private Edwardian style river boat to cruise the canals of Amsterdam on New Year’s eve. Boat Now made our dreams come true and we now have amazing memories of our glorious night time experience highlighted by firework displays.
