(383 reviews)
Amsterdam, Netherlands

1 hour 30 minutes (approximately)
Offered in: English

We cruise in a small group in a relaxed, social setting —you step on board as a guest and leave feeling like a local. Sit back, enjoy, and take in the city at an easy pace.

Instead of following a fixed route with standard commentary, we let the day and the group guide the experience. The captain is your host and guide in one, sharing stories and local insights that help you truly understand Amsterdam.

We sail on two beautiful boats. All cruises are 90 minutes. Departures on the historic Jonckvrouw sail at 12:00, 2:00, 4:00, and 6:00 pm, with additional half‑hour departures on the iconic James Bond boat at 12:30, 2:30, 4:30, 6:30, and 8:30 pm.

Both boats are fully electric, comfortable in all seasons, and equipped with sliding windows, a sunroof, an open aft deck, and a toilet on board.

Book direct for the best experience —and come join us on the water.

See you onboard,
Captain Dave Amsterdam
