Classic Boat – Schollevaar

Beautifully renovated salon boat from 1912

A Truly Classic Boat with a Modern Touch

Our beautifully renovated classic boat Schollevaar was originally built in 1912, and relaunched as a fully electric canal cruiser by the Pure Boats team in 2019. This one of a kind, classic canal boat has been showing her guests a good time in Amsterdam for over 100 years, and continues to do so with her classically elegant, long flowing lines and all the modern features you would expect from a luxury canal boat. She has a large outside open seating area for up to twelve guests, as well as an inside saloon with a large open-air sun roof, comfortable seating, bar and a restroom.

Schollevaar is both wonderfully romantic, and classically photogenic. Sit out on the stylised deck, enjoy the panoramic view and take in the magical scenery.

About Schollevaar

Our classic boat Schollevaar is our most popular boat for smaller luxury canal cruises, and her specialties include proposals and cruises with groups of friends and family.

No surprise here, as this beautiful classic boat was built in 1912 as a ‘notarisboot’ to take wealthy clients and groups around the Amsterdam canals, or be used by notaries and other prestigious professionals to entertain their partners. The latest addition to this already beautiful boat is the sunroof, which has impacted the seating inside greatly! The saloon is now even more spacious and light – in short the perfect private location for some drinks while the city glides by.

Frequently asked questions

All pets are welcome on our private cruises, however we do ask you to bring something for the pawsenger to sit on.

Our private cruises are perfect for families with kids! We have special life vests for kids so they can cruise with us safely - please do request these in advance when you can.

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.

Absolutely! Our onboard bar is stocked with local craft beers, European wines, soft drinks, and juices. If you let us know in advance through the booking system, we can welcome you aboard with a delightful borrel box, a Dutch-inspired cheese platter, or other delicious catering options from our local partners. Please note, this does require pre-order, so get in touch to add food to your cruise. More info can be found on our catering page.

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! 

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 terms and conditions policy can be found here.

Yes! All our boats are (partly) covered and heated during the colder months, so you can enjoy Amsterdam’s canals comfortably all year round.
