Reviews for Captain Dave Amsterdam -The official

Hi, my name is Captain Dave born and raised in Amsterdam, around the Jordan Area, close to the Anne Frank house. I turned my hobby into my job, and I can say that I love it. 

Me and my team of Anna, Jan, Jasper, Klaas, Romin, and Tony, are the best captains of Amsterdam, all great storytellers and fully licensed captains who love to share our passion for the city, the canals, and Amsterdam’s life in a lively way.

It is our goal to make Captain Dave’s boat cruises the highlight of your stay. Read more
