Amsterdam Boat Adventures

About

Amsterdam Boat Adventures offers intimate, small‑group canal cruises that let visitors glide through the city’s historic waterways and iconic landmarks. Whether you choose a shared day tour, a twilight evening cruise, or a private adventure, each outing is presented in English by a knowledgeable skipper who shares stories of Amsterdam’s rich past. The company’s sleek electric boats, equipped with blankets, heated cushions, and a rain cover, ensure comfort on any day of the year. From the buzzing Red Light District to the quiet, cobblestone streets of the Jordaan, the tours showcase the city’s most photographed bridges, the iconic “Seven Bridges Canal”, and the shimmering light installations of the annual Light Festival. With departure times from 10:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. and a maximum of twelve guests per boat, the rides are intimate and flexible, and booking online is recommended, especially for the Light Festival when tickets sell quickly.
