Overview

Float through the architectural beauty of Amsterdam on a private tour with our historic boat Undine. Sail on the city's picturesque waterways through historical districts while sipping a chilled drink. Also available as a night tour, with Amsterdam's lightened bridges! Hop on in my boat and let's start the tour with a view on the famous skew 'Sluyswachtershuis', which is a cafe now. from there we'll go down on Amstel river, passing the Skinny Bridge. We'll pass by Heineken Brewery, Anne's Frank House, and famous Red Light District. Soak up the beautiful views and enjoy the company of your friends or family. Admire all the buildings from your unique point of view on the water. Sail along Amsterdam's famous canal districts: Herengracht, Keizersgracht, Prinsengracht, and Singelgracht. I'll tell you fascinating stories & even give you personal recommendations for your next days. The boat has a removable roof; whatever the weather is, you will be comfy!

Great experience!

Published on Sep, 2024

This was my second tour with Carl. He is an amazing local captain! We learned so much of the history of Amsterdam and enjoyed seeing the city from such a unique perspective. I would recommend doing this tour!

Private boat ride with knowledgeable captain/owner

Published on Sep, 2024

Carl has lived here his whole life and knows the answer to any question you have. He renovated a mahogany boat built in 1915. It’s gorgeous! We went on 3 diff boats rides while in Amsterdam- 2 big tour boats and this private boat. The experience with Carl was great! Highly Recommend private boat!!

Canal Tour with Carl and Scott was GREAT

Published on Aug, 2024

My son and I were visiting Amsterdam from Salt Lake City UT for the first time, and this was a fun and informative part of our experience there. Carl met us at the pick up spot and introduced us to our guide Scott. The tour was interesting, fun, and Scott delivered a lot of insight and information about Holland, the Dutch people and Amsterdam in general. Overall a great experience that I would highly recommend. The boat itself was clean and the customer service was spot on. The communication throughout the booking process was prompt and helpful.

Unique Tour of the City!

Published on Aug, 2024

We could not have been happier with our canal tour with Carl! He is so fun, funny, energetic and, especially, enthusiastic about his hometown. While this tour would be terrific at anytime while in Amsterdam, we found it to be a great start to our visit. The tour quickly helped us with understanding the layout of the central area, with Carl providing details and color along the way. Carl really can do two things at once--drive and be an excellent guide! Thank you Carl!!
