Luxury, to us, means the boat is all yours
What makes a canal cruise feel like luxury? Mostly, we think, not having to share the boat. At Mokumboot you always sail privately: only your group on board, a skipper who steers and tells the stories, and a time and route that suit you. We no longer sell individual seats on a canal boat.
You sail for 2, 2.5 or 3 hours, with up to 35 people. The price is per boat, including skipper and VAT: with ten people, 2 hours comes to around € 42.50 per person.
- Classic tugboat or luxury open sloop
- Drinks, lunch or dinner on board from our caterers
- A skipper who tells the stories, in English and Dutch
- 100% electric and quiet

Catering on board
On the tugboat your whole group sits at one long table, with the bar within reach. Together with our regular caterers we arrange snack boards, lunch or dinner on board. Or choose the pizza boat or the pancake boat. Rather bring your own wine or champagne? That's possible for a corkage fee.
In autumn and winter the boat is covered, with umbrellas and blankets on board, so you stay comfortable at the table then too.
For every occasion
An anniversary, a birthday, a proposal or dinner with clients: on your own boat you have the peace and space to celebrate the way you want. For groups and companies we agree the route, time and catering with you in advance.
Route and boarding
You board at Amsterdam Central Station or at the NEMO Science Museum. Rather step on board at your hotel or restaurant? That's possible on request, for an extra charge. A typical route passes the Magere Brug and Carré, follows the Prinsengracht, Herengracht, Keizersgracht and Singel, and winds through the quiet canals of the canal ring, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2010.
Prams are welcome on board, and so are assistance animals. Unfortunately our boats are not wheelchair accessible.

“The best few hours spent in Amsterdam. The boats are easy to self navigate and it definately doesn’t require training or a licence. The views from the canals are so different of those one sees walking. We were asissted by Lucas and he is a gem of the entire team. Thank you, Lucas!!”
