Good food, the canals and only your own group

Want lunch, dinner or drinks with a view, without sharing a table or a boat with strangers? On a Mokumboot canal cruise with food, the whole boat is yours. The skipper steers and tells the stories, and our caterers make sure the food is on board when you set off.

You sail for 2, 2.5 or 3 hours, at a time that suits you, with up to 35 people. The price is per boat, including the skipper: with ten people, 2 hours on the water comes to around € 42.50 per person, food and drinks not included.

  • Snack boards, lunch or dinner from our caterers
  • Pizza boat or pancake boat
  • Bring your own for a corkage fee
  • 100% electric and quiet

Pizza boat

An easy choice for groups who like to keep it relaxed. You choose your pizzas in advance and they come on board fresh and warm. Then it's time to eat, chat and watch the canal houses go by.

Pancake boat

Popular with families and for birthdays. You pick your pancakes in advance and they arrive on board fresh, so the smell of warm pancakes sails along with you through the canals.

Snack boards, lunch or dinner

Prefer something else? Together with our regular caterers we arrange snack boards for drinks, a lunch or a dinner on board. On the classic tugboat you sit on cushions at a long table, with a bar and a toilet on board, so the whole group can eat together. In the luxury open sloop you sit low on the water with a clear view. Both boats are 100% electric; in autumn and winter they are covered, with umbrellas and blankets on board.

Boarding and accessibility

You board at Amsterdam Central Station or at the NEMO Science Museum. Rather start at your hotel or restaurant? That's possible on request, for an extra charge. The skipper plans the route with you; a typical tour passes the Magere Brug and Carré and follows the Prinsengracht, Herengracht, Keizersgracht and Singel.

Prams are welcome on board, and so are assistance animals. Unfortunately our boats are not wheelchair accessible. Questions about accessibility? Let us know and we'll think along with you.
