Cruise Amsterdam like a Local — Small Group 12 pax
We cruise in a small group in a social setting: you enter as a guest and leave as a friend. Sit, enjoy, and relax!
Where most boat companies like to stay on a fixed route and give a standard lecture, we like to be guided by the day and group. The captain is your host and guide in one and will make sure you have a fun time. After this boat trip you will understand the city even better.
We sail in an incredible special boat (if I may put it that way); the Royal Dutch vessel "Jonckvrouw" from 1928 which was used by Presidents, Mayors, and our own Dutch royal family.
The boat is fully electric has sliding windows, a sunroof, an open aft deck, a toilet on board. It is perfectly equipped for the Dutch weather, which can be very changeable. In short: the best boat to discover the Amsterdam canals.
Come and join us! Captain Dave
