Sail through the beautiful canals of Amsterdam on our unique, comfortable boat. When the weather is nice, we open the roof and windows for fresh air and splendid views. We don't follow the same route every time or give boring talks. Instead, we take different paths and share fun stories about what we see. The tour starts and ends at Prinsengracht 397. Come and enjoy the Best of the Best boat tour in Amsterdam!
1h 30mCaptain Dave Amsterdam introduced early morning cruising in Amsterdam years ago. We sail early, when the canals are calm and quiet —the best time for relaxed cruising and beautiful photos.
Unlike standard tours with fixed routes and scripted commentary, our cruises are personal, informative, and fun. Every tour is different. We start along the iconic Canal Ring (UNESCO World Heritage) and let the city guide us.
Our boats:
At 8:00 & 10:00, we cruise on the Jonckvrouw —an intimate, fully electric Navigating Monument from 1928, once used by the Dutch royals. She features sliding glass windows, a sunroof, an open aft deck, heating, and a light‑use toilet.
At 8:30 & 10:30, we sail on our iconic James Bond boat, a former taxi boat with full 360° views, perfect for photography. Toilet on board.
