All questions
Where is your pick-up point?

Our pick-up point is at Oudezijds Voorburgwal 230, behind the Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky and opposite the cigar shop Bom 9. The cruise also ends here.

How long does the tour last?

The regular cruise takes about 60 minutes. The exact duration of each cruise is shown on its page.

Is there a bar on board?

Yes. On board you will find a drinks menu with soft drinks, prosecco, spritzes and a wide range of spirits. In winter we also serve Irish coffee, mulled wine and hot chocolate.

Isn’t it cold on an open boat?

It is a little cooler on the water than in the streets, and the wind can add to that. We have blankets on board, and in winter heated cushions and covered boats. We sail all year round.
