Private Boat Tour Amsterdam – What’s That Like?
For a private boat tour with no other guests on board, there are three options:
1. If you’re seeking a customized boat tour and/or want to accommodate a large group on a single boat, then renting a private boat with a skipper is your best option. The skipper can pick you up and drop you off at your preferred locations. On board, you can enjoy catered food and drinks. The duration of the tour is flexible, and you can even choose the route if desired. Below are our recommended private boat tours.
2. For a luxurious private boat tour experience, please explore our Luxury Private Canal Cruise section.
