On a small, quiet boat, away from the crowds.

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.

  • The quieter canals of the Jordaan

  • The iconic Seven Bridges

 

Routes may vary from day to day. That freedom allows us to slow down, detour, or linger where the city feels at its best.
