About this tour
18+ Evening Cruise • Cheese Platter & Wine Included • Perfect for Couples
Shared Canal Cruise on Spectacular Evening Cruise
As daylight fades and the canal houses begin to glow, the Spectacular Evening Cruise offers a quieter way to see Amsterdam from the water. This adults-only small canal cruise amsterdam departs from Keizersgracht 106, carrying a maximum of sixteen guests through the city's waterways for ninety minutes. The boat itself is finished in mahogany, with comfortable seating, heating for cooler evenings, and a retractable roof should the weather turn. It is an amsterdam canal cruise designed for couples and small groups who want good company without the crowds.
Cheese, Wine, and a Self-Service Bar
Three drinks are included in your ticket, with a self-service bar stocked with seasonal local craft beers, a selection of quality European wines including sparkling options, and soft drinks. A Dutch cheese platter arrives with crackers and grapes — served individually per group, so there is no awkward sharing with strangers. The 18+ restriction exists for a reason: this is a relaxed amsterdam boat tour, not a party. The crew reserves the right to ask guests to leave if the atmosphere shifts toward something rowdier.
Onboard Comfort
The electric boat runs quietly, which makes conversation easy and the city feel closer. Warm blankets are available if you prefer the open air, and the captain knows the canals well enough to point out what matters without delivering a rehearsed script. Free cancellation up to 48 hours in advance means plans can change without penalty. For an evening that feels unhurried and slightly indulgent, the Spectacular Evening Cruise gets the balance right.

“Very happy we chose this company for a late night cruise. Excellent Captain. Intimate, small-group boat. Seeing the other company boat designs and sizes sailing in the canals, this was definitely higher quality than most.”

“What a fantastic afternoon on the Danique! We live in Amsterdam ourselves, so you’d think we’ve seen the canals by now… but apparently not like this 😄 We had such a fun mix of Londoners and Americans on board, amazing weather, seriously good drinks and delicious sharing platters. But the absolute star of the tour was our skipper Floris — he was BRILLIANT! He seems to know absolutely everything about Amsterdam, including all the weird, funny little details you never hear about. And while casually telling us all these stories, he was navigating the Danique through the canals — half the time backwards — as if it was the easiest thing in the world 😂 Great atmosphere, great boat, great food & drinks and an even better skipper. Even as Amsterdammers, we absolutely loved it. Highly recommend!”

“Really pleasant two hour canal tour with Jarmo. Personable style as a guide and a clear love for the city and its culture and history. Easily one of the best ways to see the city and one of the best tour companies to do it with!”

“Fantastic experience with Pure Boats. From booking, to the sweet receptionist at check-in, to the cruise itself - super simple, so enjoyable! We did a private cruise with Arthur and loved every minute! Arthur was prompt to meet us and really personable & enjoyable to spend the evening with. He was also very informative as he navigated us beautifully through the channel. And he knew the perfect spots to capture great family photos! TEN STARS! Thank you Pure Boats and thank you, Arthur for a most memorable night!”

“Pure Boats is a high quality operation. We thoroughly enjoyed our private canal cruise with Captain Pauline. She gave us just the right blend of pointing things out and leaving us to relax. The cheese board and apple pie were excellent! The boat was beautiful and clean and the views breathtaking. We thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend this company. Thank you! It was one of the highlights of our trip.”

“Superb tours, on small, electric boats with fun, knowledgeable guides. Perhaps a little more expensive than some other operators, but certainly worth the difference! We went in the middle of a really hot day, but there was plenty of shade and good breeze 😎”
