Morning Calm

We sail in the early morning with no other boats around, for sure the best photo opportunities! Where other boats like to sail a fixed route and give standard comments, we like our tours to be unique, personal, informative, and fun! We start our cruise along the Canal Ring (UNESCO World Heritage List), and from there, off we go. Since 2021 we cruise in an incredibly special boat, namely the 1928 former Dutch govern boat which hosted heads of state, mayors, and the Dutch royal family. The boat is intimate and comfortable; 100% electric, with sliding windows, a sunroof, open aft deck, heating, and toilet on board (a luxury). In short: the most ideal boat to explore the canals. We are proud to be an Award Winner for "Best Amsterdam Boat tour", awarded the Badge of Excellence and listed in the Best rated Airbnb Experiences! See you onboard, Captain Dave Amsterdam Ps. If you're expecting a read-from-a-script, we-do-the-same-route-multiple-times-a-day tour don't go with us!
