Welcome aboard Pure Boats
Pure Boats was born out of a shared love for sailing. What started as an innocent hobby quickly grew into a thriving business with four unique canal boats in Amsterdam. Our passion for sailing has only deepened over time, and we cherish the water more than ever. Respect for our guests, the city, and the canals is our top priority. That’s why we choose to cruise in smaller groups or private groups, ensuring there’s plenty of room for everyone on board.
