- We had Captain Jan for our tour this morning. You can tell how much he loves Amsterdam and also how well he knows the city, which really added to our experience. Jan is an art historian which added a lot of interesting perspective to what he was telling us about the city.
The boat was very nice. Great for a small group and very comfortable.read moreread lessKevin23/03/24 - Great way to see a bit of the city and get a brief history of the city and some of the buildings along the canalsread moreread lessShawn23/03/24

Beautiful storied boat. The tour guide, Jan, is a local born and raised in Amsterdam. Much better than the typical big canal boat tours. Highly recommended!!read moreread lessChris & Annie23/03/24really enjoyed the tour with Dave. he is very entertaining and will tell you some very good local information about Amsterdam history. good selection of beverage provided and snacks. would definitely recommend!read moreread lessLucia22/03/24We highly recommend the canal cruise with Captain Dave! The boat itself is beautiful and has such an interesting story, it just makes this experience special. We really enjoyed the small group, which made sharing the experience fun. Captain Dave share stories about growing up in Amsterdam, put special effort into compiling maps and photos to show and he is hilarious. He also followed up our cruise by sending a message with some wonderful recommendations for sights and food. A great experience!read moreread lessMarie22/03/24
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.
