“An interesting trip. A nice captain. Unfortunately, the boat's windows were blocked off and the glass was dirty, which spoiled the overall impression.”

“Fajny rejs, każdy dostaje jednorazowe słuchawki. Kilkanaście języków do wyboru. Amsterdam z wody to must have. Trafił nam się mega fajny Sternik. Czas rejsu 75 min a minęło jak by było 10 😉 polecam”

“The boat ride through the canals of Amsterdam remains a unique and beautiful experience... you can see the city from a different angle! You can discover the city in a one/two hour tour and see historical buildings, the tour guide explaining in detail the stories.

Amsterdam Boat Trips
Amsterdam Boat Trips is a family-run canal cruise company founded by Stephan and Pochani, who share a lifelong love of Amsterdam's waterways. What started as personal boat trips with friends and family - evening dinner cruises, day cruises, and summer swims - grew into Sloepen Amsterdam Canal Tours. In 2018 the company launched on Airbnb Experiences and quickly became the #3 rated Dutch Experience in the Netherlands. A 2019 acquisition added a second boat company and the Britannia II, a restored 1930s Saloon boat, to the fleet, and the business relaunched as Amsterdam Boat Trips. Today the company runs private and shared canal cruises through Amsterdam with a team of knowledgeable, friendly hosts and skippers.
