90-Minute Private Canal Tour

Step aboard for a personal journey through Amsterdam’s heart. On a private 90-minute canal cruise, the city reveals itself slowly from the water, away from the crowds.

Amsterdam is best experienced at an unhurried pace, on quiet canals that larger boats can’t reach. This longer cruise gives you the time to settle in and truly enjoy being on the water.

You’ll drift through calm waterways, hear stories when you feel like it, and enjoy the simple pleasure of the city passing by. Nothing is rushed or scripted.

Your skipper hosts like a local friend, offering a warm welcome and a moment that feels entirely your own.

A private experience, just for you

This tour is ideal when you want to be together without distractions. Whether you’re sailing with family, friends, colleagues, or someone special, the boat is exclusively yours.

Perfect for couples seeking a romantic evening or small groups who value comfort, privacy, and a more personal way to experience Amsterdam.

For those who want to go a little deeper. More time on the water means more quiet canals, more stories if you’d like them, and a better sense of the city beyond the highlights.

What Our Guests Say

One of the highlights of our weekend in Amsterdam! We took the tour around sunset and it couldn’t have been nicer: knowledgeable and friendly skipper, quiet electric boat, blankets and heated seats to keep warm.

O Capitão Paap foi óptimo - equilíbrio perfeito entre o guia conhecedor e o que lhe permite apreciar a grande paisagem e a arquitectura. Os lugares aquecidos foram uma agradável surpresa - altamente recomendável este passeio a todos!

"An incredible experience to discover Amsterdam through its canals. You have very different views than when walking. Highly recommended."

Route

There’s no fixed route on our tours. Each cruise is shaped in the moment by your skipper, guided by your wishes, the conditions on the water, and the rhythm of the group on board. Think of it as Amsterdam unfolding naturally, rather than following a set script.

During a 90-minute tour, you’ll often explore:

  • The quieter canals of the Jordaan

  • The historic Canal District

  • The elegant Golden Bend

  • The Seven Bridges area

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

This private 90-minute canal cruise offers a relaxed way to experience Amsterdam from the water. You’ll move through calm canals and familiar landmarks, with space to enjoy the views, conversation, and quiet moments in between.

Your local skipper guides the boat and shares stories when you feel like it. Nothing is rushed or overplanned. The experience adapts naturally, leaving you with time to settle in and enjoy the city at an unhurried pace.
