Skip the crowds: max 10 guests, local captain as your personal guide, quality drinks and Dutch bites. No big groups or scripts—just real stories, truly different. With our unique 100% electric 100+ year old boat Giuliana that has both an inside and outside area, has a toilet and is heated in the winter, we will provide an intimate 2-hour cruise. We will pass all the highlights that Amsterdam has to offer, including the world-famous canal belt, the river Amstel, the old city (red light district), the maritime area and places where large tour boats cannot go. Along the way we will make a stop to pick up some traditional Dutch fried snacks and we have a cheese platter and Dutch cookies on board while you are enjoying a wide variety of (non) alcoholic drinks including a local spirit (Jenever), Cava/Prosecco and G&T. ## Before you book - Meeting point: Please be present latest 5 minutes… - Max 10 people: small group - 9 start times: between 12:00 and 19:30 - Food included: see what is included **Pickup:** No hotel pickup: everyone meets at the start point ## Key facts - Price: from €67 per person - Duration: 2h - Rating: 4.99/5 from 416 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Sebi Boat Tours - Group: Shared, up to 10 travellers - Guide languages: English - Start times: 9 start times between 12:00 and 19:30 - Booking: Instant confirmation, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-10-22 ## Reviews 4.99 from 416 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 100% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 415 of 416. - 5 stars: 413 (99%) - 4 stars: 2 (0%) - 3 stars: 0 (0%) - 2 stars: 1 (0%) - 1 star: 0 (0%) ## What's included - We sail whole year around and only cancel when an official weather alarm is given - Soda/Pop - Bottled water - Snacks - Now including Cava/Prosecco as well as Jenever (local spirit), Gin&Tonic, Wine (red, white and rose) and Heineken beer - Both an outside and (heated) inside area on the boat so always weatherproof and cozy - Restroom on board - Live narrating by our local Amsterdam captain! no tape! - Small group (max. 10 guests) ## Itinerary 1. **Amsterdam Canal Ring** (pass by, no stop) - We will sail through the Unseco heritage canal belt and the beautiful jordaan district, see the Amstel river, the red light district, the maritime area and a lot more. 2. **Westerkerk** (pass by, no stop) - Amsterdam's most famous and biggest church!
