We cruise in a small group in a social setting: you enter as a guest and leave as a friend. Sit, enjoy, and relax!

Where most boat companies like to stay on a fixed route and give a standard lecture, we like to be guided by the day and group. The captain is your host and guide in one and will make sure you have a fun time. After this boat trip you will understand the city even better.

We sail in an incredible special boat (if I may put it that way); the Royal Dutch vessel "Jonckvrouw" from 1928 which was used by Presidents, Mayors, and our own Dutch royal family.

Description

Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Pass By: Captain Dave Amsterdam— The Official Canal Cruises, Prinsengracht 397, 1016 HL Amsterdam, Netherlands

We start on the boat the 'Jonckvrouw' (Royal Lady) at the Prinsengracht 579 from where we go to the Amstel River. We'll cruise through the different districts of the city, like the Jordaan. We go both on the famous Amsterdam canals and the small canals where the big tour boats can't enter. We'll make sure you see the best of what Amsterdam has to offer.

The cruise ends at the same place.

Pass By: Anne Frank House, Prinsengracht 263 - 267 museum entrance Westermarkt 20, 1016 DK Amsterdam The Netherlands

Anne Frank House Amsterdam—the main house and the annex. On 6 July 1942, the Frank family went into hiding in the building at Prinsengracht 263.

Pass By: ARTIS Amsterdam Royal Zoo, Plantage Kerklaan 38-40, 1018 CZ Amsterdam The Netherlands

Artis Royal Zoo Amsterdam is a beautiful 19th-century zoo and the oldest zoo in the Netherlands with among others, chimpanzees, zebras and elephants, an aquarium, and a planetarium —when lucky, we spot elephants, zebras, or even giraffes.

Pass By: The Amstel, Amsterdam The Netherlands

The Amstel River —is the beautiful river where Amsterdam took his name from. The view from the Amstel is magical! The Amstel is a wide river that flows from Nieuwveen to Amsterdam, where it meets the IJ bay.

Pass By: The Smallest House in Amsterdam, Oude Hoogstraat 22, 1012 CE Amsterdam The Netherlands

Europe's smallest house is 2.02 meters (6 feet 8 inches) wide and 5 meters (16 feet 5 inches) deep! —It represents a miniature version of a typical Amsterdam canal house. What makes it even more amazing, it accommodates a Tea Salon.

Pass By: Red Light District (De Wallen), Red Light District (De Wallen), Amsterdam, North Holland Province

The Amsterdam Red Light District —from brothels to sex shops to museums, the old part of Amsterdam, has it all. Don't be afraid to go; it has a very friendly atmosphere.

Pass By: The Jordaan, Amsterdam The Netherlands

The lively Jordan area —What do you think it is named after? The French word Jardin (English: garden) or Jordaan (the Dutch name for the river Jordan)?


Pass By: Magere Brug, Kerkstraat Nieuwe Kerkstraat, Amsterdam The Netherlands

The famous Skinny Bridge —across the river Amstel and opposite of the Carré theatre is an Old Dutch design wooden double-swipe (balanced) bridge.

The romantic story goes that the bridge got his name from the sisters Mager, who lived on opposite sides. They had the wooden bridge built to make it easier to visit each other...

The more likely version is that the original bridge acquired the name from being so narrow (mager means skinny in Dutch) that it was hard for two pedestrians to pass one along with another.

Pass By: De Poezenboot, Singel 38 G, 1015 AB Amsterdam The Netherlands

The Catboat —a unique houseboat turned into an animal shelter. Cat-loving volunteers run it. I didn't expect seeing cats on the water, you?
