About this cruise
The Luxury Open Boat Cruise is a private charter: the entire electric open boat is yours, for up to 12 guests. This is not a per-seat ticket like the regular Open Boat Cruise — you book the whole boat. Pricing is per boat from €299, not per person.
Departing from Damrak, the route is flexible — anywhere from 1 to 3 hours — and your dedicated skipper adjusts to what your group wants to see. The skipper speaks English and Dutch and knows where to slow down for photos and where to take you for quieter water.
Drinks packages can be added at booking. {VERIFY: exact 2026 drinks-package contents and prices}.
The boats are fitted with a premium sound system playing a curated playlist of relaxing music that complements the canal atmosphere without overwhelming it. On request, the skipper can adjust the music or turn it off entirely.
Luxurious cashmere blankets and sheepskin throws are provided for cooler days, and each boat carries a retractable canopy that can provide shade on particularly sunny afternoons. The attention to detail extends to the small touches — fresh flowers, scented candles at twilight departures, and hand towels.
This is the canal cruise for travelers who want something special. Perfect for birthday celebrations, bachelorette parties, corporate team outings, or simply treating yourself to the finest open-air canal experience in Amsterdam.
