Private cruising in Amsterdam
The whole boat, for your party alone.
Straight to an experience:
A private boat tour through Amsterdam with Club Amstel means you charter the entire boat. No individual tickets, no strangers on deck and no fixed timetable: you decide when you sail, which route the skipper takes and what is served on board. For parties of two up to thirty guests, and up to fifty-two on special occasions.
We sail classic Dutch saloon boats, among them the Dauphine from 1910. Covered and heated, with a low step-in and an experienced skipper at the helm who knows the canal ring, the Plantage district and the river Amstel inside out. Drinks and catering are arranged per cruise, from a sharing board to a full dinner on board.
Rates start at €250 per hour excl. VAT for the boat with skipper, with a two-hour minimum. From roughly twelve guests onwards that puts a private cruise close to the cost of individual tickets on a shared canal cruise — on a boat that is yours alone.
