“JJ was great and had lot of interesting informations.”

“This canal tour was one of the highlights of our time in Amsterdam. Captain Julia was warm, engaging, and shared plenty of interesting facts and stories throughout the cruise, making the city come alive from the water. The route covered an incredible variety of Amsterdam's iconic landmarks, including the beautiful Amstel River, the famous Skinny Bridge, the Dancing Houses, Waterlooplein, the Red Light District, Oude Kerk, De Waag, Montelbaanstoren, NEMO, the Maritime Museum, Hortus Botanicus, and the stunning Seven Bridges Canal. We also loved exploring the Eastern Docklands and learning about Amsterdam's rich maritime history while cruising through parts of the UNESCO-listed Canal Belt. The pace was relaxed, the views were spectacular, and seeing the city from the canals gave us a completely different perspective than walking the streets. If you're looking for an informative, scenic, and enjoyable way to experience Amsterdam, I highly recommend taking a canal tour with Captain Julia!”

“Fantastic experience with Pure Boats. From booking, to the sweet receptionist at check-in, to the cruise itself - super simple, so enjoyable! We did a private cruise with Arthur and loved every minute! Arthur was prompt to meet us and really personable & enjoyable to spend the evening with. He was also very informative as he navigated us beautifully through the channel. And he knew the perfect spots to capture great family photos! TEN STARS! Thank you Pure Boats and thank you, Arthur for a most memorable night!”

“On August 3, 2026 our kids gave us a 2 hour tour for both Fathers Day and Birthday. We were picked up at the agreed upon location and met with our wonderful awesome Captain (I forgot to write his name down, but started with a J). Our tour was in the early evening which gave us every changing reflections of the city (beautiful during day and night!) The boat was clean and impressive and arranged for our party of 7 perfectly. And now the boats are electric so it was so quiet and calm. Our captain was so patient and educational to all of us, including our 12 and 11 year old grandkids). We took the same route as the World Pride route - which was really appreciated. The history and stories of Amsterdam were so interesting. During our tour there was wine for adults and juice for the kids. We were expecting more of a welcome drink. We highly recommend Boat Boys for your Amsterdam canal tour.”
