Iconic Boat – Stan Huygens

The superyacht of the canals

Unique luxury boat for bigger groups

We are delighted to introduce you to the new iconic boat in our fleet, Stan Huygens. This unique boat was the favourite boat of famous beer mogul Freddy Heineken, who’s designated seat was at the back booth overseeing this amazing vessel (and its gorgeous canal surroundings). The leather booth seating, adjustable light plan, 2 bars (with Heineken on tap), fully equipped kitchen and (bullet proof) windows that can be fully lowered during a sunny day make this boat a truly distinctive eye catcher on the canals and unforgettable to cruise on.

Groups of up to 36 guests can enjoy a cocktail hour and for a seated dinner there would be sufficient space to accommodate between 24 and 32 guests.

Frequently asked questions

We know choosing the right tour company can feel like a challenge, but we’re here to make it an easy decision! Step aboard our stunning boats, designed by superyacht architects, where “wow” moments are practically guaranteed. Sip on a handpicked selection of craft beers, fine wines, and refreshing non-alcoholic options from our open bar, and indulge in luxury catering throughout your cruise. Our dedicated team is excited to personalize every detail of your journey, ensuring an unforgettable experience from start to finish.

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.

You are most welcome to bring your own food aboard! However, we ask you to please not bring snacks that could stain the decks and couches — we hope you understand! Because we do have an extensive range of drinks aboard all of our boats, we do ask you to make use of our onboard bar. If you do wish to BYO we ask a corkage fee of €15 per person.

Our terms and conditions policy can be found here.

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 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.

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

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. 

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