Overview

We sail early in the morning, when the canals are calm and quiet — the best time for relaxed cruising and beautiful photos.

While many boats follow a fixed route with standard commentary, our tours are personal, informative, and fun. Every cruise feels different. We start along the iconic Canal Ring (UNESCO World Heritage List) and let the city guide us.

We sail with two beautiful boats.

At 8:00 and 10:00, we cruise on the Jonckvrouw —an intimate, fully electric Navigating Monument from 1928, once used by the Dutch government. It features sliding windows, a sunroof, an open aft deck, heating, and a light‑use toilet on board.

At 8:30 and 10:30, we sail on our iconic James Bond boat, a former taxi boat with a full 360° view, perfect for taking in the city from every angle. A toilet is also available on board.
