See Amsterdam like a real local - from the water! In just one cruise, you’ll glide past all the city’s highlights: crooked canal houses, the iconic Westerkerk, the Golden Bend, and more.

We keep it easy, breezy, and full of character. No boring monologues - just the real stories behind the sights, with a touch of Amsterdam humor.

Hop on, sit back, and let the city charm you. This is Mokum at its best.
