Fantastic experience

Fantastic experience to see the city from the boat. We try to do it every now and then as locals living in Amsterdam. If you are a tourist it’s a must! 🚢♥️

Boaty through the canals

It was a great experience, the navigation through the canals in the perfect low pace boat made it even greater. The crew is even better and made it a Perfect Experience

Great experience

Good welcome with clear explanations and predefined routes, but that doesn't make the task any easier 🤣🤣 Vincent, the pilot of our boat (1 of us 4), still managed to get us lost, thus making this activity a little longer than expected. I therefore advise against calling him to guide you! Anyway! Go for it with your eyes closed but without Vincent 😉

Bonding experience

Although the boat engine broke down, we got a replacement boat very quick. The rest is nice boating on the canal, wouldn’t be bad to also have oars, in case something like this happens.

Don’t make this mistake

I would not recommend renting these boats. They are electric with a rudder. They have a short tiller made from dowel rod. They are difficult to control and uncomfortable. With only one person they are the slowest boat on the canals. For a little more money get a boat with a wheel. They float very well.
