description: Drift different through Amsterdam's hidden canals with local captains who were born here. While other boats pack 50+ people with megaphones, we keep it small and real. Your captains Jannah & Beer know which bridge lights up best, where locals drink coffee, and have real stories from growing up on these waters.

We skip tourist traps for secret spots where Amsterdam actually lives. You'll see quiet canals, local hangouts, and hidden corners that even many locals forget exist. This isn't a museum boat - it's like floating through Amsterdam in your friend's living room.

Come as you are, kick off shoes, grab blankets, and help yourself to drinks. Amsterdam moves fast. We move at water speed. No rush, no stress - just good people, calm water, and authentic connections. Small groups mean you can actually chat and ask questions.

No fixed script, no Heineken hats, no loud music. Just effortless vibes that feel cool without trying too hard. You'll get a Polaroid and our insider map to remember floating through Amsterdam like locals do. Perfect for conscious travelers who want authenticity over luxury.
Welcome aboard. Or as we like to say, welcome home!

highlights: Along the way, we’ll share the odd facts, local quirks, and personal memories you only get from people who grew up dodging bikes and eating fries by the water.

faqs: What happens when it rains?
Nothing is as fickle as Dutch weather. Luckily we are well prepared, the boat has a beautiful canopy which protects you from the rain but still gives you a great view of the surroundings.
