The boat itself is very cosy, comfortable and has an amazing history. Snacks and drinks are included. The small boat size makes it feel more like a private tour than your typical tourist boats. We went on the sunset cruise which was great to see all the night lights. 10/10 highly recommend. Thanks Dave! read less

Dave is humorous, accommodating, brimming with knowledge and enthusiasm for local history, and just plain fun to hang with. The small group makes it congenial; pastries, juice, coffee (with various options for enhancing your coffee or juice) all make it a casual affair where it is easy to get to know your fellow passengers. read less

The boat is a beautiful, very comfortable and well equipped traditional sight seeing boat with lot's of history and comes with a sliding roof, cushioned seating and an area at the back were people can sit outside. As other reviewers have mentioned before it also features a toilet and a fridge and you can bring your own drinks and food. Last but not least, Captain Dave himself is a very friendly and entertaining guy who clearly loves the city and will tell you some information about it or, like in our case, on a very hot day encourage you to go for a swim in the canals - especially thanks for that! 🙂 read less

The boat was well equipped (beer, wine, snacks), had a restroom onboard, had lots of seating space both in/out of the sun, and had a knowledgeable guide in Captain Dave. We saw Amsterdam from its inner canals view point. Captain Dave even let us "rock out" to our favorite tunes. As we cruised around, it was quite obvious that our boat was having the most fun of all. Thank you very much Captain Dave! Your journey was a highlight of our vacation. read less

Getting to the dock we were departing from was a tram trip and a couple-minute walk away for us but not difficult to get to. Although it was raining hard on/off the morning we boarded, it was still a beautiful trip through the canals. Fresh juice, coffee, and delicious bread that the Captain travels north for were available to us during the ride. There were two other couples that joined us that morning and Captain Dave did a great job of making everyone feel welcome, included, and catered to. Dave's conversation + the scenery + commentary about Amsterdam and its history all made for a perfect outing. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who visits Amsterdam and enjoys yummy snacks and a kind captain. He even let me steer the boat for a little bit!! I have nothing but wonderful things to say about this cruise and its captain. read less

We sailed all around the various canals and saw so much more than a regular canal cruise.I’ll be back in Amsterdam in 2023 and have told Dave that we will be doing his canal cruise again! read less

I expected a nice boat ride on the canals of Amsterdam, but I didn’t expect a full tour of the city. Captain Dave told us about the different parts of the city: what types of buildings were used for which purposes, why they were constructed in a particular way, and even about a section of the city that was planned and pre-sold to fund the digging of the canals there. Plus there were treats, and Captain Dave was very kind to both of my kids, letting them drive the boat on the slower, straighter canals. The boat itself is very beautiful, with polished wood throughout and a special history of its own. You will not regret this experience! read less

He takes time to get to know each and every guest before the ride begins, and offered a fully stocked mini-fridge of different wines and beers, as well as plenty of things to snack on -- including locally made bitterballen, which were delicious! He took his time taking us around the canals and didn't stress about sticking to his schedule... we were on the boat closer to 2 hours, which we loved! The boat was incredibly clean and has a bathroom on board. All of the people that we met during our trip were friendly.

The cruise was cozy and the historical boat was comfortable. Captain Dave served croissants, chocolates, juice, and Nespresso.

We moved to Amsterdam a year ago so have done quite a few different canal tours as we’ve had family and friends come to visit and this was the best one by far! Captain Dave was friendly, knowledgeable, and born and raised in Amsterdam so was able to point out several different things that we had not heard about on any of the other tours. It was cold and rainy when we met so the boy was enclosed and heated and absolutely perfect! We chose to bring own food and drinks, but Captain Dave offered to provide them as well. The boat has a very cool history and has been restored beautifully. Even if you don’t have enough people to fill the boat, I HIGHLY recommend doing the tour anyway.

We really were the only boat out on the water, and it was nice to see the quiet side of Amsterdam. Captain Dave was full of information and plenty of humor - we appreciated his energy. The snacks and coffee were much appreciated, and he was kind enough to make sure my friend who is celiac also had a snack she could eat. Thank you! read less

Dont fall for the tourist trap of the giant tour boats, book Captain Dave. He makes the tour memorable both with stories, but also engages with your group on a personal level. You get to enjoy a more intimate setting with 8-12 people at most. We enjoyed the snacks, croissants and sugar bread along with a coffee. We highly recommend the morning tour. The canals are so quiet, you feel like you're the only people on the water. Don't hesitate, just go with Captain Dave. read less

We hired him for a private boat tour with our family and we are so glad we did. The meeting point was in a central location, the boat was stunning and clean (you have the option to open all of the windows inside, make it heated or enjoy the weather while sitting uncovered in the back.) There is a bathroom on the boat too if that’s a concern for people. He has blankets, a speaker, etc. He is well equipped to make you feel comfortable. Capt Dave was also very informational and had large printouts to explain anything historical! You can bring your own food/alcohol BYOB or he can provide for a charge by the hour. In addition to all of this, he has a great personality!! I will recommend him to anyone coming to town. Don’t look elsewhere. read less

Giving us a personalized tour with interesting insights about the history of Amsterdam and the people living there. It felt like going on a tour with a friend. Even my teenage girl enjoyed the trip very much. Dave didn’t watch the time, just wanted us to get the best out of the tour and in the end dropped us off close to the Van Gogh Museum where we had our next stop.

It was very nice, professional, interesting, and we did have the canals all to ourselves, no other boats on the water for most of it. I enjoyed it but the early morning hour was tough for me with 9 hours jet lag from west coast US. I would recommend the tour as an interesting cultural event, the boat was comfortable and the amenities were nice.The only reason for 4 stars not 5 is that the tour time was changed from 10 am to 8 am. There was plenty of notice and I was asked if the change was ok, but if asked again, I would prefer the later time. This was early January and it was still dark for the first hour or so of the tour, so we heard all about the first fabulous houses we were passing but couldn't see them. Also, I am not a morning person, even without jet lag. There were still very few boats by the time the tour finished, it would not have been very crowded for the 10 am tour. read less

He got us on the boat very quickly once the previous group were off and into the warm boat. The tour itself was fantastic and having the heated cushions and blankets made it cosy and comfortable. The mulled wine and hot chocolate (with whiskey!) were really hot and tasty. There were other drinks available for those not drinking alcohol. Would highly recommend it for a perfect way to end a day out in Amsterdam which is all we had unfortunately! Would highly recommend. Thanks a lot Dave! read less

It was one of the most magical experiences that we’ve ever had, and we’ve done a lot of canal cruises in many cities across the world. Captain Dave is super personable and has really interesting, unique stories and facts about Amsterdam that he shares along the way. You can really tell that he just absolutely loves his job, and he spreads that joy. It’s also a small boat so you get a very intimate experience, instead of a massive tourist cruise ship filled with people you don’t know. This is absolutely a must-do in Amsterdam. read less
