Unlimited Aperol Spritz • Electric Boat • Social Vibes
This one-hour Amsterdam canal cruise departs steps from Central Station and does exactly what the name promises: you board a quiet electric boat, settle into your seat, and spend the next hour watching the city drift past with an Aperol Spritz in hand. The drinks are unlimited, the atmosphere is sociable, and the pace is unhurried. It's an 18+ cruise, so expect a relaxed, grown-up crowd of up to 25 guests sharing the deck.
The boat itself is modern and fully electric, which means no engine noise drowning out conversation. Seating offers clear sightlines to the water, and if the weather turns, the boat can be enclosed to keep you dry without cutting off the views. A local skipper handles the route and shares stories about what you're passing — the kind of background detail that comes from actually living here, not reading from a script.
Your Aperol Spritz is included and flows freely for the full hour. Beer, wine, and soft drinks are also available if spritz isn't your thing. Food isn't provided, but you're welcome to bring your own snacks on board. Free cancellation applies up to 24 hours before departure, so plans can stay flexible. The Amsterdam Spritz Cruise runs a simple format: show up ten minutes early, step aboard, and let the canals do the rest. No fuss, no overselling — just a small boat tour through Amsterdam with a cold drink and good company.
