Sign up for a tour to discover the sides of Amsterdam you might never see on your own. For example, a canal cruise is an absolute must for every first-time visitor. Amsterdam’s fantastic architecture is best seen from a sightseeing boat on the canals. Despite being the biggest city in the Netherlands, Amsterdam is also a great destination to explore by bike or on foot. Travel outside the city and experience the typically Dutch landscape of windmills, dikes and manicured green pastures. Stroll through quaint fishing villages, take a boat tour along the scenic waterways or cycle along the sand dunes.

Canal Motorboats

Canal Motorboats

At Canal Motorboats, you can hire a specialised boat for an hour or more. Make your way around the city taking tons of photos and making fantastic memories with friends and family. The company’s marina is just 10 minutes from Central Station and five minutes from the beginning of the Prinsengracht. Each boat can carry up to seven people and naturally larger parties can hire multiple boats. If you don't feel like piloting the boat yourself, hop onto one of the many cruise boats that take you on a long loop of the winding canals.
