Private Boat – Lucy

Elegant, Romantic & Luxurious

Timeless Elegance on the Water

The Pure Boats team have been busy completing the restyling of our beautiful private boat, Lucy. She is a hand crafted replica of an Edwardian Thames Launch. Based on a design from 1905 she would have operated as a launch or tender on the River Thames, serving the yachts of the period as they came into port.

Brought up to date with modern interior styling, she has been designed to provide a luxury private experience for up to 6 guest, to enjoy the Amsterdam canals throughout all seasons.

With a modular design she boasts a fully closed and heated saloon for the winter, and a romantic exterior aft deck for 2. The large double glazed windows and large skylight ensure an unspoiled view of the magical canals.

In the warmer months, she can be opened up to enjoy the summer breeze with a huge sun roof and removable front windows.

Perfectly suited for dining, we highly recommend this boat for a fully customised breakfast, lunch and dinner experience.

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.
