What you can expect
Join us for a private canal cruise through Amsterdam’s hidden gems.
People always ask us: “Can you show us your favourite spots?” This is the cruise where we share our favourite 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.
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.
Experience Amsterdam together on this shared cruise. Whether you’re visiting with friends, family, or on your own, this cruise is about connecting and sharing moments. Meet people from around the world and discover the city in a relaxed, intimate 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 keepsake to remember your time on the canals.
