We really had the best time with BoatNow! Everything was perfectly arranged from start to finish and the atmosphere on the boat was great. Our skipper was fantastically super friendly, professional and he made the whole experience relaxed and incredibly fun. The communication via the app before and after is also super good. Definitely recommended if you want to have a great day on the water. We will definitely book again with BoatNow!
We were with 6 friends. We rented the Dauphine , a 1910 salon boot that sits max. 12 persons. It was a beautiful boat with heating and a toilet on board. The captain Maxim was a great tour guide!! Highly recommend
Thank you for the good review. I’m glad you enjoyed the boat trip! See you next time.
Victor was a wonderful captain and tour was very enjoyable. The 1 1/2 hour tour went by quickly. We should have booked a longer cruise.
The cruise was a very nice, interesting experience! Compliments to the skipper Paulo. The information sticks even better the way he tells it.
Nice boat, nice trip, nice captain, nice company for a nice price (compared to the competition). In other words, a nice start to the Easter weekend.
We had our wedding party including open drinks&buffet&wedding cake, we loved it! They are the best in town! Much appreciated to have our wedding party with Boat Now. The boat was Hanneke and it was really big and luxury. Our guests were very satisfied and enjoyed. Thank you for making our day amazing.
Had a very nice afternoon with a trip of 1 1/2 hours. Cozy boat and cheerful, friendly skipper. Highly recommended!
Dank voor de review Renske! Hopelijk tot een volgende keer!
We had a private city tour with the Sarah, a gorgeous “salonboat” that holds 12 - we were 6 (incl two teenagers), combined with bubbles, soda, luxury bites (Dutch oysters (yum)), cheese, charcuterie and bar bites and bitterballen. - Handy to know that these kinds of boats also have a bathroom onboard. What a treat, to tour with this lovely boat through the smallest of canals outside the regular tourist routes and to see Amsterdam from the water. (And Yes, we also did the “must see” things. Bryce was a fun, competent and knowledgeable skipper full with fun facts and trivia. What’s also great is that Boatnow allows you to define your pickup and dropoff point, so whilst we were picked up almost beside our hotel, we could continue out city exploration by foot from a city center dropoff at the wonderful cafe de jaren. Strong recommendation to use Boatnow, easy booking, great service and communication, sharp price and easy (safe) payment.
Hi Marc, Thank you for this great review! Love to welcome you again on our lovely Sarah.
It was a wonderful trip. Exclusively with the six of us and a very nice knowledgeable skipper who shared many facts about Amsterdam. Respect. Price was more than worth it. Thank you! Family HH Meinema / Haaksbergen
