Amsterdam Aperol Spritz & Prosecco Boat Tours: Drinks on the Water

Cruising Amsterdam's UNESCO canals with a freshly poured Aperol Spritz or chilled glass of Prosecco is one of the city's quintessential daytime pleasures. Whether you are looking for a lively social shared boat tour with open bar, a sun-drenched bachelorette outing, or an elegant private saloon boat with champagne and cheese pairings, here is your definitive guide to Amsterdam Aperol Spritz and Prosecco canal cruises.

Shared Spritz Tours vs Private Prosecco Charters

Quick Summary: Shared Aperol Spritz tours (€28–€45/person) are ideal for couples and small groups seeking a social, lively atmosphere with included drinks. Private Prosecco charters (€160–€350 total) give your group exclusive boat access, custom playlists, and tailored itineraries.

Depending on your party size and celebration style, you can choose between two popular formats:

1. Shared Aperol Spritz Cruises (Per Seat): Ideal for couples, solo travellers, and small friend groups. Tickets include 60–90 minutes of cruising with free-flowing Aperol Spritz, beer, wine, and soft drinks. 2. Private Prosecco & Champagne Charters (Entire Boat): Best for bachelorette groups, birthdays, or intimate celebrations. Rent an entire electric sloop or classic salon boat with a dedicated skipper, custom drink packages, and artisan Dutch cheese platters.

What Is Included on Board?

Direct Answer: Most all-inclusive spritz cruises include 60–90 minutes of cruising, unlimited Aperol Spritz, Italian Prosecco, craft beer, wine, Dutch Gouda cheese bites, and weather protection via convertible canopies and cozy blankets.

Top-rated spritz cruises on BoatLocal ensure everything is prepared on arrival:

Unlimited Drinks: Freshly mixed Aperol Spritz, Prosecco, chilled white/rosé wine, Dutch craft beer, and soft drinks.
Complimentary Bites: Dutch Gouda cheese blocks, artisan crackers, grapes, and sweet stroopwafels.
