Private Deluxe Boat Cruise

Private Boat Tour on Private Deluxe Boat Cruise

This is a private canal cruise aboard a classic salon boat built in 1915, converted to electric propulsion six years ago. The result is a vessel that moves through Amsterdam's waterways almost silently, with none of the engine noise or diesel smell you get on larger tour boats. With space for up to ten guests, the boat fits comfortably through the city's narrower canals—routes the big boats simply cannot take.

Just Your Group on Board

The cruise runs for a minimum of ninety minutes, departing from the Amstel near the H'ART Museum. Before you set off, the skipper will talk through route options with your group. You might head into the Jordaan's quieter waterways, pass the Seven Bridges on the Herengracht, or take a route toward the Rijksmuseum and Leidseplein. If you're with children, the skipper can adjust to include the harbour area or pass by Artis Zoo. The itinerary bends to what you want to see.

Onboard Comfort

The boat is heated and covered, so rain won't cut your evening short. There's an onboard bar—drinks can be added at ten euros per person per hour for unlimited service, or ordered à la carte. You're welcome to bring your own snacks. If you want something more, the team can arrange extras like flowers, a cake, or specific drinks with advance notice. Cancellation is free if plans change. For a private boat tour in Amsterdam that feels unhurried and genuinely yours, this 1915 salon boat offers something the larger operators cannot match.
