A private boat, a local skipper, and Amsterdam at it's most peaceful.
Private. Unhurried. Drinks included. Always cosy.
Amsterdam is best experienced slowly.
On a small, quiet boat, away from the crowds.
This one-hour private canal cruise is a gentle introduction to the city.
You’ll sail through calm canals, hear stories when you feel like it, and simply enjoy being on the water.
Your skipper hosts like a local friend.
No script, no rush. Just a warm welcome and a moment that feels personal.
