Very nice light festival in Amsterdam We joined the open-boat canal cruise in December and absolutely loved it. Even though it was winter, the atmosphere was cozy and the views of the city were beautiful. The crew was friendly, fun, and knowledgeable they shared interesting stories without feeling scripted. The unlimited drinks option made the trip even more relaxing. It was a perfect activity for couples, and wed definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Amsterdam. Great vibe, great service, and a wonderful way to see the city!

Glide through Amsterdam’s canals on 100% electric, silent boats, enjoy 360-degree, glass-free views, and feel the breeze on these open boats!

Skip the pre-recorded tapes! Your experienced skippers share authentic stories of the city’s history, from the Golden Age to today.

Capture the perfect photo of the Skinny Bridge and sail past the Red Light District, Maritime Museum, and the stunning Royal Theatre Carré.

Sip on cold beer, wine, or soft drinks available on board while you admire the historic architecture from our open-top boutique boat.
