Friendship Amsterdam

A close-knit, six-boat electric fleet built by two friends

5(1884 reviews)

Friendship Amsterdam started as a single-boat company, named after its first vessel and built by two friends with a shared passion for boats and watersports. It has since grown into a full fleet of six unique, 100% electric boats — from open sloops to the luxury saloon boat Dyos — each sailing almost silently and staffed with a dedicated captain and hostess. Smaller boats in the fleet can reach narrower canals larger tour boats can't access, and the onboard bar covers everything from craft beer to champagne. Shared cruises run from €9.50 per person and private charters from €399, departing from Oudezijds Voorburgwal 230.

    “Amazing boat tour! We had such a great experience from start to finish. A special thank you to Peter at the bar for his warm welcome, big smile, and friendly attitude — he really made us feel comfortable and added to the great atmosphere on board! Captain Bas was fantastic as well. His explanations about the City were interesting, clear, and full of great stories and information. I learned so much about Amsterdam during the tour while also having a really fun and relaxing time. Great crew, great atmosphere, and a wonderful way to discover the city. I would definitely recommend this boat tour to anyone visiting Amsterdam. Thank you Peter and Bas 🫶”

    “We absolutely loved our canal cruise with Teunis and Adriana! They made the whole experience so fun, relaxed, and personal it felt more like being shown around the city by friends than being on a tour. We laughed the whole way, learned loads about Amsterdam, and honestly didn’t want it to end. Thanks for such a memorable evening, we’ll definitely be recommending you to everyone!”

    “Would massively recommend Friendship tours Amsterdam. Very organised, all staff came into contact was indeed friendly and welcoming. We paid extra for the cocktail package and was given a menu with good selection of drinks as soon as set off. Drinks made by 'Victor' were made and served very quickly, he asked if wanted more when seen glasses near empty. The tour guide and captain 'Rene' was very informative but in a fun and enjoyable way! Definitely a great pair working together! Only small issue which didn't even mention at the time was that ticket included snacks which wasn't offered. No big deal as they made up for it with the cocktails. Definitely would recommend this tour company!”
