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.
