Overview

We cruise in a small group in a relaxed, social setting —you step on board as a guest and leave feeling like a local. Sit back, enjoy, and take in the city at an easy pace.

Instead of following a fixed route with standard commentary, we let the day and the group guide the experience. The captain is your host and guide in one, sharing stories and local insights that help you truly understand Amsterdam.

All cruises are 90 minutes. Departures on the historic Jonckvrouw sail at 12:00, 2:00, 4:00, and 6:00 pm, with additional half‑hour departures on the iconic James Bond boat at 12:30, 2:30, 4:30, 6:30, and 8:30 pm.

Both boats are fully electric, comfortable in all seasons, and equipped with sliding glass windows, a sunroof, an open aft deck, and a toilet on board (a rare luxury!).
The freedom of an open boat, combined with the comfort of a warm, covered saloon.

See you onboard,
Captain Dave Amsterdam

Frequently Asked Questions (8)

Q: Will I get seasick on Cruise Amsterdam like a Local — Small Group 12 pax?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
