What types of boat tours are available in Amsterdam?

Two main types: shared cruises where you join other guests from €17 per person, and private boats you rent for your group from around €200 per hour. On top of that there are themed options like dinner cruises and seasonal Light Festival tours.

Should I choose a private or a shared cruise?

Shared cruises are ideal for couples and small groups who want an easy, affordable tour. Private boats make sense for groups of 6 or more, celebrations, or anyone who wants their own route and departure time — the per-person cost often ends up similar.

How do I book, and can I cancel?

Every cruise on BoatLocal is booked online with instant confirmation. Most tours offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure — the exact policy is shown on each cruise page.
