How long is a canal Cruise in Amsterdam?

A canal Cruise in Amsterdam takes an average of 60 to 90 minutes. During this cruise you will sail along the most beautiful canals, historic canal houses and famous sights of the city. At Event op het Water you can also book a private Canal Cruise where you determine the desired sailing period, for example 1, 2 or 3 hours.

Can I book A 2-hour Canal Cruise?

Yes, at Event op het Water you can book a private Canal Cruise of 2 hours. During this extensive cruise you have more time to discover the Amsterdam canals and enjoy a drink or snack on board. A 2-hour Canal Cruise is ideal for a company outing, birthday, family day or romantic cruise.

What is the minimum duration of a private Canal Cruise?

The minimum duration of a private Canal Cruise depends on the chosen boat and shipping company. Often you can book a private cruise from 1 hour. For groups who want to enjoy the Amsterdam canals extensively, we recommend a cruise of at least 1.5 to 2 hours.

Can a Canal Cruise last longer than 2 hours?

Yes, a private Canal Cruise can certainly last longer than 2 hours. At Event op het Water you can organize a cruise of 3, 4 hours or longer depending on availability. This is ideal, for example, if you want to organize a lunch, dinner, drink or complete company party on board.

How much time do you need to see the Amsterdam canals?

To see the most famous canals and sights of Amsterdam, we recommend a Canal Cruise of at least 60 to 90 minutes. Do you also want to enjoy a drink, take photos and discover different parts of the city? Then a 2-hour private cruise is an excellent choice.

Does a private Canal Cruise take longer than a regular cruise?

A regular Canal Cruise in Amsterdam usually takes 60 to 75 minutes. With a private Canal Cruise, you decide how long you want to sail, depending on the possibilities of the shipping company. This allows you to choose an extended route, additional sights or an arrangement with food and drinks on board.

Can I extend the duration of my Canal Cruise while sailing?

In many cases it is possible to extend a private Canal Cruise while sailing. This depends on the availability of the boat, the skipper and any subsequent reservations. Additional costs may be charged for additional sailing time. Discuss the possibilities in advance with Event op het Water.

How long does a Canal Cruise take with lunch, dinner or drinks?

The duration of a canal cruise with catering depends on the chosen package. For a drink cruise, 1.5 to 2 hours is often sufficient. For a lunch cruise we recommend about 2 hours and for a dinner cruise 2.5 to 3 hours. This gives guests plenty of time to eat, drink and enjoy the surroundings at the same time.

What is the best duration for a Canal Cruise with a large group?

For a Canal Cruise with a large group we recommend a sailing period of 2 to 3 hours. This gives enough time to welcome everyone on board, serve drinks and enjoy the cruise together. For corporate parties, birthdays and other Group Arrangements, a longer sailing time can be attractive.

How can I book a Canal Cruise with a self-selected sailing time?

At Event op Vatten you can easily request a private Canal Cruise with a sailing time of your choice. Indicate the number of people, the desired date, the sailing period and any wishes for catering or entertainment. Based on this, you will receive a suitable proposal for a private cruise through Amsterdam.

 Trustindex verifieert dat de oorspronkelijke bron van de recensie Google is. 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.

“ We have had a cruise through the canals of Amsterdam with our company. Fortunately, we were lucky that the weather was beautiful. We really enjoyed the delicious freshly prepared BBQ and delicious chilled drinks.

Really recommended to go sailing on the water with an Event!”
