About Amsterdam Boat Adventures
INTRODUCTION OF US
OUR STORY
We are a small, family-run company and passionate about showcasing the beauty of Amsterdam through unforgettable boat tours and canal cruises. Our modern, eco-friendly, and silent electric boats offers the ultimate comfort for exploring the city’s amazing and beautiful canals.
We absolutely love and enjoy taking tourist and locals on an adventure around the Amsterdam’s canals and are very proud to have become one of the best rated boat tour in Amsterdam on Google and TripAdvisor, not to mentioned featured in Rick Steves’ latest guide book on Amsterdam.
Our journey began in the spring of 2018 when Captain Jamie and his wife, Bente, transformed their passion for cruising Amsterdam’s canals into a thriving business after securing the highly coveted official canal cruise permit. With a maximum capacity of just 12 guests, we guarantee an intimate, personalized, and truly authentic experience for every guest.
Over the years, we’ve expanded to become a two-boat company, supported by a team of exceptional captains who bring their expertise and passion to every tour. Together, we offer a diverse selection of Amsterdam boat tours, canal cruises, and adventures through the city’s stunning waterways.
Our Services
At Amsterdam Boat Adventures, we specialize in exploring the city’s many beautiful and iconic canals. However we also love to show you the hidden gems of Amsterdam—the smaller, quieter canals where big boats can’t go. Our intimate boat cruises let you experience the true magic of Amsterdam.
Our expert captains double as your friendly guides, sharing fascinating stories, local insights, and must-know tips along the way. Whether you're admiring the city's iconic crooked houses, gliding under charming bridges, or soaking in the peaceful atmosphere, every cruise is designed to be memorable and engaging.
We offer tours for every budget and occasion. Our Shared Boat Cruises provide an affordable and social way to experience the canals, while our Private Boat Tours offer a personalized and exclusive adventure tailored just for you. In the winter months, we proudly partner with the Amsterdam Light Festival, offering special cruises that showcase breathtaking light art installations from the water during this spectacular event.
Our season runs from March through the beginning of January, and reservations are open now. Whether you're looking for a cozy shared tour, a private getaway, or a magical winter experience, we’d love to welcome you aboard.
