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. During your open boat tour in Amsterdam, the captain tells you all about the history of the city and shows you the prettiest houses and canals. And because our open boat is so much smaller than a normal canal cruise boat, we can sail through the smallest canals. This way, you also see lesser-known parts of the city during your open boat tour in Amsterdam.

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 you quickly take a photo. All of this is possible during your tour with an open boat in Amsterdam. Buy your ticket(s) now and sail with us along the most beautiful spots of the city.

Tip 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.

Dock is located at Stadhouderskade 501 opposite the Hard Rock Cafe. Take tram 1, 2, 5,11 and 12 stop at Leidseplein. from there the dock is a 2 minute walk.
