Overview

The Amsterdam open boat canal cruise offers a unique and intimate experience of the city's iconic waterways. This tour features an open boat, allowing you to enjoy the sights and sounds of Amsterdam in a personal setting. With fewer passengers than traditional canal cruises, this smaller vessel can navigate through even the narrowest canals, providing access to hidden gems and lesser-known parts of the city.

As you cruise along, the captain shares fascinating stories about Amsterdam's history while pointing out picturesque houses and charming canals. The journey includes notable landmarks such as the Westerkerk and Anne Frank House, offering a memorable perspective on this vibrant city. Conveniently located at Stadhouderskade 501 opposite the Hard Rock Cafe, the dock is easily accessible by tram, making it an ideal activity for visitors looking to explore Amsterdam's beauty from the water.

Your Experience

A tour with an open boat in Amsterdam is a very pleasant and personal experience. After all, there are only a limited number of people on the boat. And because our open boat is so much smaller than a normal canal cruise boat, we can sail through the smallest canals.

Experience

Just imagine: the sun is shining, the birds are chirping and you are cruising through the water, taking pictures of the beauty of Amsterdam to your heart's content. Suddenly, you see the stately Westerkerk appear and next to it the Anne Frank House; you see Amsterdammers cycling along the canals and quickly take a photo. All of this is possible during your tour with an open boat in Amsterdam.

Tips for Sunny Days

While it is absolutely wonderful to sail with the Blue Sky Boat on a beautiful day, don't forget to bring your sunscreen (and maybe a hat) to enjoy the sunshine. It usually feels a bit colder on the water, but the sun can also be very treacherous.
