    Gister hebben we via Event op het Water een boot gehuurd voor ons groepsuitje. De boot zelf was prachtig, ontzettend schoon en van alle gemakken voorzien. Onze schipper was niet alleen een professionele bestuurder, maar ook een geweldige gastheer die precies de juiste sfeer wist neer te zetten en ons de mooiste plekjes vanaf het water heeft laten zien. Dankzij de uitstekende service, de lekkere hapjes en de ontspannen sfeer hebben we een fantastische dag gehad. Absoluut een aanrader voor wie op zoek is naar een zorgeloos en gezellig evenement op het water! We boeken de volgende keer zeker weer.

    A luxury Amsterdam cruise: for those looking for something special

    The canal belt of Amsterdam has been on the UNESCO World Heritage list since 2010. You will notice this during a cruise. The 17th century canal houses, the Golden Bend and the narrow bridges together tell the story of a city that has changed little in 400 years. From the water you experience that story in a way that is not possible over land.

    For those looking for a special amsterdam cruise, there are several options. A private amsterdam cruise in the evening with illuminated bridges. A tour of amsterdam with dinner on a classic saloon boat. A romantic amsterdam cruise for two in an open sloop. Or a tour of amsterdam with children, where the skipper adapts the pace and route to a young group. The kitchens work with seasonal products and dietary and allergy adaptation is possible on every occasion.

    For those who want to fully discover the city from the water, a hop on hop off amsterdam Cruise is not the right choice. Our cruises are always private and not tied to fixed stops or a fixed route. You decide where you stop, how long and which way you go.
