Overview

Would you like to relax after a busy day of sightseeing? Leave behind the chaos of the overcrowded streets and loud bicycle bells. Instead, step aboard our boat and enjoy the peaceful ambiance of Amsterdam’s canals! This private cruise offers the rare opportunity to sail the canals like a local! That means no giant tourist boats packed with strangers. You’ll have the chance to slow down and take in views of the historic waterways by night as you travel through the UNESCO-listed Canal District and De Wallen. Gliding along the water as the sunset paints Amsterdam orange is simply magical. With our customizable itinerary, you can even select a drop-off point near that cute little pub you’ve been wanting to visit. This is truly an unforgettable experience that you’ll be bragging about for years to come.

wonderful

Published on Mar, 2025

friendly, flexible, with nice additional background info from the captain about the history of the city. warmed seats and blankets when it's cold

Perfect way to start visit

Published on Mar, 2025

It was a great way to start our weekend in Amsterdam. We did a 90 minute tour and he took us all around the city giving us lots of history, general information and recommendations in Amsterdam. Felt like we got a feel for every area (and saw all major architectural sights) and then for the rest of the time we could focus on the things that really interested us. The private tour was great too as we got all our questions answered. Money well spent and would highly recommend!

Paps a Legend!

Published on Mar, 2025

Had the best time on Pap's boat in November celebrating a friends special birthday. I've been on the tourist cruises before in the canals but I'm so glad we choose this private one as the skipper was excellent, knowledgeable and made our experience perfect. BYOB (and other condiments) but also provide drinks, music options and heated seats! Which was perfect for a chilly night. We ran 30 mins late but it was not a problem and didn't feel rushed at all, beautiful scenes lit up and night. I'll definitely do this again next time I'm in Amsterdam!

Charming boat tour

Published on Feb, 2025

Best boat tour. Comfy seats and warm. Option to go outside or sit inside, I learned very interesting things about Amsterdam too! My family was visiting and Paap made them fall in love with the city (and me too all over again)!

We learned so many things about the city!

Published on Jan, 2025

We had an excellent trip on the boat with Skipper Paap. Although we had been on other boat tours before, on this tour Skipper Paap shared with numerous facts about the city that none of us had heard before. Skipper Paap is highly knowledgeable about the city, friendly and accommodating. We had a wonderful time - and the seat warmers were a great plus on beautifully chilly January day. Thank you!
