What you can expect

Make the smart choice for your Amsterdam trip with our highly-rated, budget-friendly 90-minute canal cruise. While standard city tours often rush you through the water in just an hour, our extended 1.5-hour route gives you more time to relax, take photos, and discover the city's UNESCO-listed waterways without paying premium prices.

An Authentic Open-Air Experience
We don't do crowded mass-tourism boats. We welcome a maximum of 24 guests aboard our comfortable, 100% electric open boat. Feel the fresh air and take clear, beautiful photos without the glare of dirty glass windows as we cruise past iconic landmarks like the Skinny Bridge, the Dancing Houses, and the oldest church in Amsterdam.

Live Local Storytelling
Your captain isn’t just a driver; they are a passionate local host. Expect a mix of fascinating history, hidden gems, and typical Amsterdam humour that brings the city to life in a way no guidebook can. Expect warmth and great conversations with fellow travellers.

Onboard Bar Available
This standard ticket includes your 90-minute guided cruise. While drinks and snacks are not included in the ticket price, you don't have to go thirsty! We have a selection of chilled beers, wines, soft drinks, and typical Dutch snacks available for purchase directly on board.

Committed to Sustainability
Captain Jack Amsterdam operates fully silent, electric boats for an emission-free cruise. While practicalities on the water require us to use plastic cups, we ensure all waste is strictly separated and recycled. To further offset our environmental footprint, we proudly support tree-planting projects through Trees for All.

A Relaxed, Cultural Vibe
This cruise is designed for travellers who want to enjoy a high-quality, cosy historical tour with a relaxed local atmosphere. To maintain this welcoming vibe, large bachelor/bachelorette groups or heavy drinking parties are not permitted.
