Boat Tours in Amsterdam






Amsterdam Canal Cruise: an experience you can’t miss

Amsterdam wouldn’t be the same without its canals. With over 100 kilometres of navigable waterways and more than 1,000 bridges, exploring them by boat is one of the most authentic and relaxing experiences you can have in the city.

From the water, you’ll enjoy a unique perspective of its distinctive architecture — leaning facades, narrow houses, and charming bridges that light up beautifully at night.

If you’ve spent the day walking or cycling through Amsterdam, a boat tour is the perfect way to unwind: sit back, relax, and watch the city glide by.

See Amsterdam from its famous canals

Our boat tours are designed to suit every traveller:

  • Shared cruises to enjoy the experience with fellow travellers.

  • Private boat tours for a more intimate journey.

  • With or without a guide, depending on whether you prefer commentary or quiet time to soak in the views.

Dinner on the Amsterdam canals

Make your cruise even more memorable:

  • Toast with a glass of wine or a cold beer as you sail.

  • Enjoy a romantic dinner under the city lights.

  • Try a Dutch cheese tasting right on board.

The crew will share stories and answer those questions you’ve always wondered about:

  • Why does Amsterdam have so many canals?

  • Is the water fresh or salt?

  • Do locals use the canals to get to work?

  • How many bicycles are at the bottom?

Houseboats: living right on the water

Also discover on this tour the peculiarity of living literally on the canals in boat houses. There are different types of boat houses and there are a limited number of them. The legislation is quite peculiar if you decide to live in a boat house in Amsterdam and special rules must be followed.

Our offers include group boat trips to private tours. With or without a guide, with unlimited drink or drinks; walks with dinner included, or even cheese tasting during your tour. Consult our web and choose the option that most appeals to you or write to us with your questions. It will be a pleasure to advise you without obligation on the best option for your boat trip.

Frequently Asked Questions about our Amsterdam Boat Tours

Are the boats covered? What happens if it rains?

Yes. Most of our boats have a roof or retractable cover to ensure comfort all year round. When the weather is nice, we open the covers to enjoy the views in the open air. In case of rain, the boat will remain covered.

Are drinks or snacks included?

This depends on the tour and the options you choose. Please check the description of each boat tour to see exactly what is included in your booking.

Is the boat tour shared or private?

We offer both options. You can join a shared boat tour with other travellers or book a private boat for your group.

Are pets allowed?

Unfortunately, pets are not allowed on shared boat tours. If you book a private boat, please contact us in advance to confirm.

Where is the meeting point?

This depends on the boat tour you book, but all our meeting points are located in central, easy-to-reach areas. The exact address will be sent once your booking is confirmed.
