Good fun, informative, enjoyed seeing city via canals. Dan was a good skipper. Tricky to find boat so leave plenty of time.

Great canal tour! Captain Dan did a great job informing us about the history and culture as well as helping us stay dry with the occasional rain.

An excellent way to see the city and learn a lot about it. Skipper David was very informative and entertaining. I would recommend it for anyone visiting the city for the first time.

Really good experience. We went in late October so the boat was covered. We also had pillows as well so it was quite cozy. Skipper was funny and very well educated on the history of Amsterdam, so we learned a lot. The snacks and drinks were a nice inclusion. Especially the Stroopwafels!

It was exceptional beautiful and completely worth it! The guide had a great humour and gave us some unique details of the canals and the house boats.

JP was a very good and informative tour guide who made us laugh. The food was nice, as well as the drinks, and I now realise how beautiful Amsterdam is.
- Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller
- Service animals allowed
- Public transportation options are available nearby
- Suitable for all physical fitness levels
- Due a lot of traffic at the dock, I can't wait more than 5 minutes. Please make sure you are at the dock 10 minutes before departure.
- A fairly big step needs to be taken to get in the boat. Of course we will assist you.
- Beware all my boats are open. So when it rains, you can get wet. But rebooking with rain is always possible
- I always try to give the best tour possible (5*). But in rare occasion things don't go as you and me would like. Please let me know asap. Either direct or send me an email of text. I will contact you.
- The tour is a historical canal cruise, it is not a booze cruise. So if you are looking for a bachelor party boat or any other booze cruise, this is not the cruise for you.
- Captain Jack is collaboration between friends. Captain Jack is not himself on the boat.
- Due Health regulations (regarding food) animals are not allowed (service animals excluded).
Departure point
Exit Central Station via the main entrance, turn right, and walk to tram stop B4 near the large tree. Look for the white boat with a pink flag and crew in pink shirts. Address: Stationsplein 18. Please arrive at least 10 minutes before departure.Return details
