- The small boat was clean and well appointed. The sugar bread and coffee was lovely and the tour was fantastic. We cruised past the zoo and had a chance to see many animals. The small group was intimate and casual. We loved it!read moreread lessJes19/04/24
- Captain Dave was such a highlight of our trip. The ship was so well furnished, renovated, and clean. And Dave was such a warm, positive guide that clearly enjoys sharing the Amsterdam he grew up in. We loved the details in the storytelling and accomodations on board. (And we clearly had the nicest, funnest ship on the canals!)read moreread lessKlvin18/04/24

He safely navigated us through the canals while sharing history and facts of the city along the way. It is definitely worth it to see Amsterdam by boat. Thanks Captain!read moreread lessMasha18/04/24Capt Dave is the best!! He curated an experience our family will never forget. His knowledge of Amsterdam and great sense of humor kept the entire family engaged throughout our wonderful cruise. The boat is clean, comfortable and quite beautiful, not to mention loaded with plenty of drinks and snacks. My family is still talking about how great it was and we highly recommend taking a canal cruise with Capt Dave!!read moreread lessDavid Alcosser17/04/24Veľmi pekný zážitok.

Features of the Royal Jonckvrouw
—The flagship of Amsterdam since 1928
100% electric —Since 2021 the Royal Jonckvrouw is fully electric.
Sliding sunroof —We slide the roof open when the weather is right. The fun of an open sloop with the comfort of a salon boat.
Outerdeck —A plus for taking pictures, enjoying the beauty of the canals and the bright sky. Or if you want to smoke a cigarette, you can do it here.
Sliding windows —The boat has as much coverage as you want. You can easily open and close the glass windows yourself.
Toilet on board —An unexpected luxury. Most boat owners cut down the toilet to create additional seating. We understand the need.
Captain's Office —With the authentic 1928 wooden steering wheel. Want to sail yourself? Ask the captain!
