Electric Open Sloop • Up to 35 Guests • Skipper Included
A fully electric open sloep that seats up to 35 guests, Private Tour offers a quiet, emission-free way to explore Amsterdam's canals with your own group. The boat runs on battery power, which means no engine noise and no fumes — just the sound of water against the hull and conversation flowing freely. With polished woodwork, a spacious layout, and an onboard toilet, the vessel handles larger groups without feeling cramped. Bookings start at two hours, with three and four-hour options available.
This private canal cruise in Amsterdam puts you in control of the guest list. Whether it's a birthday, a family gathering, or a team outing, the boat is yours alone. An experienced captain handles navigation while you settle into the cushioned seating and watch the canal houses drift past. For groups that want a more hands-off experience, an optional host or hostess can manage drinks and snacks throughout the trip.
Private Tour operates on a flexible catering model. You can add unlimited drinks at a per-person hourly rate, pay for what you consume after the tour, or bring your own for a flat fee. A luxury snack platter is available for groups of six or more. The boat is rain-proof, so weather rarely derails plans. Free cancellation is included, and the meeting point at Stationsplein puts you steps from Centraal Station — though alternate departure locations can be arranged after booking. For a private boat tour in Amsterdam that accommodates a crowd without sacrificing comfort, this open sloep delivers.

“Our boat trip had to be the highlight of our trip to the Dam. Boris was extremely helpful in organising the cruise and entertained numerous changes we needed to make. We went for the unlimited bar and silent disco. It was absolutely phenomenal. All the lads said it was class. Nico the captain was really relaxed with us all and tailored the trip to our needs. 100% recommend - great seeing the Dam from the canals, a different angle for me even on my 15th trip to the best city in the world. Huge thanks to Amsterdam Boats”

“I have rented a boat trip on 'Mosi Jo' boat. The boat itself is very good, it fits 25 people perfectly. The staff prepared ice, glasses for the drinks, even if we told that we will bring our own drinks :) The boat also contains a small and private toilet. The skipper was nice and very welcoming.”
