Sail through the Amsterdam Light Festival on a quiet electric sloop. The cruise runs along the canals in the centre and east of the city, past the Magere Brug and the Amstel locks, and shows about 20 of the festival's light artworks from the water.
The boat has a closing canopy, so the cruise goes ahead in rain. Blankets are on board and the cabin is heated. There is a toilet on board and the captain tells you about the artworks along the way.
The boat leaves from Stationsplein, in front of Amsterdam Centraal.
Monday to Thursday: 18:30. Friday and Saturday: 16:45, 18:30 and 20:15. Sunday: 16:45 and 18:30. Check the calendar for the departures on sale.

“Our boat trip had to be the highlight of our trip to the Dam. Boris was extremely helpful in organising the cruise and entertained numerous changes we needed to make. We went for the unlimited bar and silent disco. It was absolutely phenomenal. All the lads said it was class. Nico the captain was really relaxed with us all and tailored the trip to our needs. 100% recommend - great seeing the Dam from the canals, a different angle for me even on my 15th trip to the best city in the world. Huge thanks to Amsterdam Boats”

“I have rented a boat trip on 'Mosi Jo' boat. The boat itself is very good, it fits 25 people perfectly. The staff prepared ice, glasses for the drinks, even if we told that we will bring our own drinks :) The boat also contains a small and private toilet. The skipper was nice and very welcoming.”
