Boat trips

For the first time tourist, a boat trip on Amsterdam’s canals is the perfect way to get to know the city. The trip takes you on the canals through the city centre, along the impressive old houses, houseboats, historical buildings such as the Rijksmuseum, Anne Frank’s house, Central Station, weird and wonderful bridges and various monuments.

There can be more to a boat trip than first meets the eye: how about enjoying a delicious barbecue whilst sailing along on Amsterdam’s canals, or using the boat as transport for a pub crawl, or for a meal whereby each course is served in a different restaurant?

The canals in winter
Did you know that boat trips can also be arranged in the winter? Boating along the Amsterdam canals in winter is a unique experience. Our boats are well-heated, and are warm and cosy on a winters day.
