Lucy

Private Boat Tour on Lucy

Lucy is a handcrafted replica of an Edwardian Thames launch, her lines drawn from designs dating back to 1905. She holds up to six guests, which means your private canal cruise through Amsterdam feels genuinely intimate rather than cramped. The quiet electric motor keeps conversation easy, and your captain doubles as your guide, pointing out details along the canals that most tours skip entirely.

Onboard Comfort

Inside, Lucy has an indoor salon with a bar area and a large skylight that fills the space with natural light. When the weather turns, the covered roof keeps everyone dry without cutting you off from the view — the large windows see to that. For warmer days, there's an intimate rear deck where you can sit closer to the water. A private boat rental in Amsterdam rarely comes with this much considered design, and the onboard toilet means no awkward scrambling for café stops mid-cruise.

Food and Drinks

An open bar can be added for fifteen euros per person per hour, or you can order champagne by the bottle — Piper-Heidsieck, Veuve Clicquot, or Ruinart. On the food side, there's a snack platter, a cheese board for two, or freshly baked apple pie. Just reach out after booking to arrange what you'd like on board. Book Lucy for ninety minutes, two hours, or three, departing from Keizersgracht. She suits birthdays, small celebrations, or an afternoon where you simply want the canals to yourselves.
