Those Dam Boat Guys

About

Those Dam Boat Guys offer a truly alternative way to explore Amsterdam’s enchanting canals. Their 90‑minute cruises—whether in a lively public setting or a private pirate‑themed adventure—combine lighthearted conversation with a curated route through the city’s best sights and hidden corners. Captains speak in multiple languages and welcome food, drink and even spitting rooms, making each journey feel like a shared adventure among strangers. Guests can choose from a convenient public schedule, a “Strangers Are Gross” private tour for a group of up to eight, or a more elaborate 3.5‑hour package that doubles as a private boating experience with extra time on the water. Covered boats and blankets keep travelers warm during the winter months, while open decks shine in summer. Each tour lasts at least 90 minutes; some private packages extend to 7 hours for the truly adventurous. Booking is straightforward online at www.thosedamboatguys.com; all tours start from the dock at Keizersgracht 100 and can also be arranged from the office on Prinsenstraat 13. Both pint‑sized glass bottles of beer and bundles of nuts are on hand for those who wish to indulge at the bar, Café de Knoop, before heading out. With flexible pricing, language options, and rides that suit families, couples and solo travelers alike, These Dam Boat Guys have earned rave reviews for their friendly guide crews and unforgettable canal views.
