Zeer leuke ervaring. wij hadden de prosecco optie genomen, prijs kwaliteit een topdeal. Leuk personeel op de boot dat op een leuke manier wat vertelt over Amsterdam!

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.

Is there a minimum age for the drinks?
In the Netherlands alcohol is only served to guests aged 18 and over, so younger guests get soft drinks. Some cruises are adults-only or set their own minimum age; the cruise page says so.
Can we bring our own drinks instead?
Yes, on other boats: 7 cruises on BoatLocal let you bring your own drinks and snacks, mostly private boats. The guide below explains how it works.
What if it rains?
34 of 35 cruises with drinks have a roof or a rain canopy, and 19 are heated. This page moves them to the front when it rains or is cold in Amsterdam.
