Morning Canal Cruise Amsterdam in Small-Group Discount Tickets

Overview

Captain Dave Amsterdam introduced early morning cruising in Amsterdam years ago. We sail early, when the canals are calm and quiet —the best time for relaxed cruising and beautiful photos. Unlike standard tours with fixed routes and scripted commentary, our cruises are personal, informative, and fun. Every tour is different. We start along the iconic Canal Ring (UNESCO World Heritage) and let the city guide us. Our boats: At 8:00 & 10:00, we cruise on the Jonckvrouw —an intimate, fully electric Navigating Monument from 1928, once used by the Dutch royals. She features sliding glass windows, a sunroof, an open aft deck, heating, and a light‑use toilet. At 8:30 & 10:30, we sail on our iconic James Bond boat, a former taxi boat with full 360° views, perfect for photography. Toilet on board. Award Winners for Best Amsterdam Boat Tour, recipients of the Badge of Excellence, and listed among the Best Rated Airbnb Experiences. See you onboard, Captain Dave Amsterdam

Redemption Instructions

Look for the boat named "Jonckvrouw" or "James Bond" by Captain Dave Amsterdam. If you don't see the boat, we will be at the canal side (behind the parked cars at the height of Prinsengracht 397) 5-10 minutes before departure. Do not ring the bell at the houses.
