Description

Discover the magic of Amsterdam’s UNESCO-listed canals on an extended 90-minute small-group cruise. While standard tours often rush through the city, our 1.5-hour route allows you to truly relax and take in the iconic views without feeling hurried.

An Authentic Open-Air Experience
Escape the crowded mass-tourism boats. We welcome a maximum of 24 guests aboard our comfortable, 100% electric open boat. Feel the fresh air, connect with the city's vibrant atmosphere, and take clear photos without the glare of dirty glass windows as we cruise past iconic landmarks like the Skinny Bridge, the Dancing Houses, and the oldest church in Amsterdam.

During March and April we only have a closed boat on our 11am, 1pm, 3pm, 5pm, and 7pm departures.
All other departures are with open boats.
On Saturday there are NO closed boats, all open!

Live Local Storytelling
Your captain isn’t just a driver; they are a passionate local host. Expect a mix of fascinating history, hidden gems, and typical Amsterdam humor that brings the city to life in a way no guidebook can. Expect warmth and great conversations with fellow travelers.

Dutch Snacks & Drinks
Make your cruise even more special with our onboard bar. Choose the All-Inclusive option for a carefree experience with unlimited beer, wine, soft drinks, and typical Dutch treats (like cheese, mini sausages, and stroopwafels). If you book the standard ticket, drinks and snacks are still available for purchase during the tour.

Committed to Sustainability
We care about our city's future. Captain Jack Amsterdam operates fully silent, electric boats for an emission-free cruise. While practicalities on the water require us to use plastic cups, we ensure all waste is strictly separated and recycled. To further offset our environmental footprint, we proudly support tree-planting projects through Trees for All.

A Relaxed, Cultural Vibe
This cruise is designed for travelers who want to enjoy a high-quality, cozy historical tour with a relaxed local atmosphere. To maintain this welcoming vibe for all our guests, please note that this is a cultural history tour. Large bachelor/bachelorette groups or heavy drinking parties are not permitted.

Good to know before you go
  • Language: To ensure a shared and interactive group experience, the live commentary is conducted exclusively in English.
  • Finding the right boat: Multiple companies depart from our dock. Please look specifically for our crew wearing bright PINK shirts. If they aren't wearing pink, it's the wrong boat!
  • Facilities: There is no toilet on our authentic open boat. We highly recommend using nearby public facilities before boarding.
  • Weather: The boat is open-air for the best photo opportunities. Please dress appropriately for the Dutch weather. We provide umbrellas in case of rain.
