About the experience

Escape the crowds and experience Amsterdam like a true local with our exclusive 5-hour private canal tour aboard the Motorboat Amsterdam Sloep Tender (30hp). This half-day journey gives you the time and freedom to explore the city’s iconic landmarks and its hidden corners, all from the comfort of a quiet, stylish boat.

The boat is private, spacious, and perfect for couples, families, or small groups seeking something authentic and unhurried.

    We went on a trip during Sail. Great boat and a good helmsman. Friendly and entertaining. We had a wonderful afternoon, and everything is possible. We can arrange our own catering, but it's also easy to arrange. Quick contact and response. Definitely recommended.

    Amazing experience! The boat was beautiful and Rik was so friendly, flexible, and insightful. Our trip was meant to end at 5 but we even extended an extra hour because we were having such a great time. He even let a friend join midway Couldn’t recommend this experience enough – if you’re looking for the best boat trip with the best host, this is it! - highly recommend.

    Rik was a great captain and host. Boat is beautiful as promised on the pictures. He is friendly, great in communicating and helpful on board. We visited beautiful canals, went for a swim in amstel river and stopped on the way for drinks and snacks. Rik is flexible, takes all wishes seriously and makes sure you have a great time. It is obvious that it is important to him that you really enjoy yourselves. Thank you Rik we had a blast!
