Fantastic Friday Afternoon

We took a private canal cruise with Pure Boats on a rainy Friday afternoon, and it was absolutely wonderful. The captain was incredibly knowledgeable about Amsterdam’s canals and history, and so patient while we paused for photos along the way. Even with the rain, the city looked beautiful from the water — such a peaceful, intimate experience. Truly the best way to see Amsterdam. Highly recommend Pure Boats’ private cruises!

We did the canal tour with Pure Boats last evening and it was wonderful! We HIGHLY recommend! Such an amazing time, there were only 10 of us on the boat! Cheese platter, drinks, and beautiful views. We passed many other boats including large ones with windows stuffed with people, so grateful we found Pure! Stuart was our captain, very friendly, knowledgeable, safe, & a fun personality!
Skipper Benjamin, thanks for a great cruise!
