Description from the owner
Join us for a private canal cruise through Amsterdam’s hidden gems. People always ask us: “Can you show us your favorite spots?” This is the cruise where we share our favorite places, along with the stories and secrets that make Amsterdam feel like home. Discover a side of the city beyond the typical tourist routes, with local insights, beautiful views, and a relaxed atmosphere, all at your own pace.
Step aboard on one off our historic boats with a cosy lounge deck - your floating living room on the canals. Take off your shoes, get comfortable, and make yourself at home. Enjoy the music, grab a cold drink from the fridge, and relax as Amsterdam slowly passes by. The boat is yours.
Meet Our Boats:
We’d love to introduce you to our two beautiful historic boats. Depending on the size of your group, your private cruise will take place on one of them. Each boat has its own unique character, but both offer the same cosy atmosphere, personal experience, and unforgettable time on Amsterdam’s canals.
- Diana - MAX 8p
Perfect for couples and other smaller groups, this beautiful classic saloon boat is lovingly restored and powered by a silent electric engine. She combines the timeless charm of old Amsterdam with the comfort of today. It feels like stepping into a floating museum.
- Curaçao - MAX 12p
Perfect for families and groups of friends, this beautiful and spacious historic boat offers the luxury of extra room without losing its cosy atmosphere. With a generous lounge deck, soft cushions, and plenty of space to stretch out, it’s your own private floating lounge on the canals. Grab a cold drink, sit back, and enjoy the city in complete comfort.
We’ll take you to the places we actually love and visit ourselves. Expect a quieter, more authentic side of Amsterdam - even better than you’ll ever find on a postcard. Cruise through peaceful canals away from the crowds, discover hidden courtyards and charming corners, places even many Amsterdam locals forget exists.
Your skipper is more than just a captain, they are a local storyteller. Your captains grew up dodging bikes and swimming in these canals. You’ll hear fascinating insights about Amsterdam’s history and architecture, combined with personal stories, childhood memories, local traditions, and the hidden stories behind the buildings and canals. There is no fixed script, just stories that come up naturally as you float through our hometown.
Whether you’re celebrating with friends, spending quality time with family, hosting visitors, or looking for a unique Amsterdam experience, this private cruise gives you the freedom to relax, connect, and enjoy the city your way.
Just good vibes and chill people. No need to impress, you’re already invited in.
Come as you are, and leave with authentic memories and a Polaroid to remember your time together on the canals.
