Times: you choose when to sail
There's no fixed timetable. You agree on a start time, depending on availability, and sail for 2, 2.5 or 3 hours. During the day past the canal houses, or in the evening when the bridges and facades are lit up.
You can sail in autumn and winter too. The boats are covered then, with umbrellas and blankets on board.
What's included in the price?
- The whole boat for your group, up to 35 people
- A skipper who sails and tells stories along the way, in English and Dutch
- A route agreed with you, through the canal ring and along the Amstel
- A classic tugboat or luxury open sloop, 100% electric
Food and drinks are not included. Through our caterers you can order snack platters, lunch or dinner on board. You can also bring your own, for a corkage fee.
Boarding at Central Station
You board at our location close to Amsterdam Central Station or at the NEMO Science Museum. Prefer to board somewhere else, for example at your hotel or restaurant? That can be arranged for an extra charge.
