Our boats are waiting for you!


We’d love you to meet our beautiful boats: Small Open Boat Geertje , Classic Boat Schollevaar , Prestigious Pure Spirit , Yacht of the Canals Stan Huygens , and Luxury Boat Lucy .

All of our boats are real eye catchers, and some of them are even more than 100 years old. We carefully restored them years ago to meet today’s modern standards. Our boats are fully electrical and emission-free, ensuring our tours to be as environmentally friendly as possible. On top of that, each of our boats are modular and prepared for any weather type thanks to the cabriolet canopies.

Frequently asked questions

On our shared cruises we don't allow pets, because although we love animals we can't be sure the other guests love them as much.

The pick up and drop off point for majority of our cruises is situated at the dock on Keizersgracht 106, alongside the water. We kindly request that you arrive at the dock 5 minutes prior to the start of your cruise to facilitate smooth experience. If you are cruising on boat Stan Huygens, the standard pick up and drop off is located at Herengracht 128.

Yes, ALL of our cruises feature live commentary, where our knowledgeable captains or hosts share stories and history about Amsterdam while you enjoy the views. They’ll make sure you get the most out of your experience.

Every shared cruise we offer is guided by an English-speaking captain, ensuring that the entire cruise will be conducted in English. Other languages might be available upon request for our private tours.

Please arrive at the dock five minutes before your scheduled departure, where your captain will be waiting for you patiently! If you have booked a small group tour we do urge you to be on time, unfortunately we cannot wait for late arrivals.

We are of course used to a little rain here in Amsterdam! Both the Geertje and Pure Spirit have a pop-up canopy that can provide you with a cover, and the Schollevaar has a very comfortable indoor saloon seating area in case of heavier rain. Lucy provides a fully enclosed, heated saloon, as does our newest fleet, the Stan Huygens . We also have umbrellas on-board to provide some shelter from a shower so we can assure you that you'll have a great time whatever the weather! In the unlikely events of extreme weather conditions that will make it unsafe to cruise, we will look into rescheduling your trip. 

Our boats Pure Spirit, Lucy, Schollevaar, Stan Huygens have toilets on board. Our boat Geertje does not. Luckily we have an office located at Keizersgracht 92H (close to the dock) where we have bathrooms!
