Early Morning Cruise
An (early) morning canal cruise has something magical with the rising sun and quiet canals. The canal houses reflect in the canals and create a dreamy image of reality – like a natural mirror.
We sail in the former management vessel of the Municipality / Port of Amsterdam from 1928 that was used for Presidents, heads of state, mayors and the Royal House.
The boat is 100% electric, comfortable and has a toilet on board. With sunroof and sliding windows for an even more beautiful experience.
Fully equiped
- Covered lounge with sliding windows and roof
- Open aft deck
- Toilet (a luxury!)
- Fridge/bar
- Bluetooth speaker
- Dimmable lighting
- Heating and extra blankets
From €215 per hour. Minimum purchase 90 minutes

Our guests
- Our captain Tony was fantastic — connected personally with each of us, easy to listen to, told interesting stories, made the whole experience welcoming and enjoyable — the early start time was so unique, quiet and peaceful, the city just waking up — highly recommended.read moreread lessMike24/07/24
Great morning cruise! The cruise with Captain Dave, a small group, a nice boat, and going down the canals early in the morning with no traffic was just awesome. The morning cruise is the way to go and loved the small group atmosphere.
read moreread lessDrew B12/07/24We had a wonderful morning on the canal cruise with Captain Dave and the other guests on the boat! A little history lesson, a lot of humor and warmth, delightful provisions, exceptional boat with a storied past, a lot of local pro-tips from Dave, and though the children on the boat were not with us, it was fun to see him interact and involve them in the ride. Can't recommend this experience enough!read moreread lessSusan11/07/24The absolute best canal trip in Amsterdam! The absolute best experience, and one my family will remember for years to come! The morning is the best way to experience the canal trip and the boat is absolutely beautiful. We were grateful to have such a warm, friendly and informative guide in Jan.

Would totally recommend! Jan was our captain and host for this brilliant boat tour. He was knowledgeable and full of interesting facts about the city he is proud of. He had funny stories to share and also deeply poignant and meaningful insights into the past and current culture. The boat is cosy and elegant with an interesting past itself..There were hot and cold drinks and nice snacks to indulge in. The early tour was great to go on and set us up with recommendations for alternative places to visit afterwards.We're so glad we chose this tour. Thanks Jan

We thoroughly enjoyed the cruise, worth the early morning wake up time.read moreread lessRiley03/07/24 - Amazing experience! I would give this experience a 6 out of 5 stars if I could. It is a great way to start your trip and familiarize yourself with the city! Unfortunately I don’t know how to spell the Tour guides name, it was a nice man who works with Dave. The tour was elegant but not stiff. The music was perfect. We did a morning tour and there was only 9 people total on the boat. Great coffee and treats. The knowledge and recommendations alone are worth going on the tour. It was a beautiful experience. ( I loved the partially enclosed boat, because you can still see everything yet you stay warm in the chill morning).read moreread lessMason30/06/24The boat trip was amazing. It started right on time, and the Capitan managed the trip beautifully with amazing storytelling, jokes and insights. The calmness of the morning just added to the experience. Would recommend 10/10read moreread lessSahal29/06/24We had a lovely time on Captain Dave’s boat cruising the canals and hearing stories about the building and the city of Amsterdam and its history. There was cake and coffee to add to the fun and laughter. Amazing way to spend the morning - highly recommend!read moreread lessShivangi22/06/24Incredible experience for our family on the boat with Captain Dave! One of a kind trip on the canals of Amsterdam on the most beautiful & historic boat! Having an early start time made for a quiet and calm ride on the canals. Dave is an exceptional story teller and makes connections with all participants! Having sweet bread and a variety of drinks made it extra special! Highly recommended!read moreread lessSean20/06/24
- Simply loved the experience. Captain Dave is so entertaining with his humor filled stories. Learnt a lot about the canals of Amsterdam. Went with our kids 7 and 12 and they got to independently steer the boat! He was also very flexible and accommodative. My husband who came with us could not stay the last 30 mins of the tour because he had to take an urgent work call and captain Dave supported our ask to drop off my husband early at a convenient location so he could get off earlier and attend his meeting. The boat is very comfortable and clean, and captain Dave offered drinks and snacks as well. Highly recommend!read moreread lessShriram18/06/24Jan, hope I spelled it correctly, was awesome! Very entertaining while also giving us a great history of Amsterdam. Would do it all over again. Definitely recommend the early cruise as the canals were so peaceful.read moreread lessBrian18/06/24
Captain Dave and Tony DELIVER!!! Captain Tony was an amazing local guide. Born in Amsterdam. The boat is beautiful and comfortable, definitely the best place To be on a rainy day. Coffee, tea, and sugar bread were lovely. You can't do better.
read moreread lessBenjamin C11/06/24This canal cruise was exceptional! Gliding through the early morning quiet in a beautiful old boat and watching the city slowly waking up was wonderful. Our Captain was so knowledgeable about Amsterdam’s history. He shared architectural and anecdotal stories that were lively and interesting. Definitely a highlight of my first visit to this interesting and lovely city.read moreread lessKaren09/06/24 - Our experience was top notch. It wasn’t Dave but our personal blonde hair Dutch captain was wonderful. We have already recommended this tour to other tourists. The coffee and sweet bread was an added bonus. It was great all around. Much thanks.read moreread lessKaren08/06/24
The morning treat of sugar bread! This was far above expectations! Klaus was wonderful and he dealt with our crazy group of 8 with great patience. We learned a lot on the tour and having the tea and coffee plus was a real treat for the morning but the sugar bread was the real hit with the group! Would recommend to anyone.

Worth getting up early!!! Captain Dave is the best guide to Amsterdam- he is funny and gives insights on history as well as his very personal views of Amsterdam. He grew up in Jordaan- he knows the area and he delights in showing his Amsterdam to those smart enough to take advantage of the 8 am cruise while most tourists are sleeping! He provides delicious sweet bread, which one of the resident swans is addicted to, as well as coffee and tea.And I got to steer the boat under his watchful guidance and to the amusement of the fellow passengers- he took over before the next bridge!The boat itself is old and wooden paneled and just wonderful. Since its a small boat, it feels like a private party.
read moreread lessBarbara S31/05/24A quiet morning perspective of Amsterdam Tony was great! We really appreciated the “conversational” tone of the tour, as opposed to a scripted monologue. We really sensed that we were getting a local’s perspective of Amsterdam, in addition to learning a ton about the history of the city. It was a quiet, low key informative morning, before the rush of canal tour boats. Thank you, Tony! Laurie WahlVictoria, Canada
read moreread lessCompanion3623069305631/05/24It was a relaxed, comfortable morning tour. Our guide was personable, knowledgeable and had great stories and insights. I especially loved the laminated maps that he used to show the changes that the city has gone through. There was a quiet cabin to here the stories or we could sit outside and enjoy a coffee while taking in the view.read moreread lessDirk28/05/24 - Easy going 90+ minute tour with nice on-board amenities including a restroom, a selection of beverages and snacks, as well as a very historic boat. Price was all-inclusive, no additional charges or fees. I was on a later morning cruise, as the early was booked out.
Overall a nice overview of the massive canal system and the history that accompanies their relationship to the architecture of the city. Nice fellow passengers representing a number of nations, one of my favorite aspects of ABNB experiences. A few of the other guests were called upon to steer the boat as the host checked in on the other passengers.
Captain Dave was engaging, personable and was quick with any number of anecdotes. I can imagine the earlier boat enjoys a slightly different experience it’s just quieter and calmer throughout the city at that time.read moreread lessKeith24/05/24Amazing experience! Highly recommend doing the morning cruise tour with captain Dave. The experience was personalized, welcoming, and insightful. Captain Dave actively made an effort to make everyone feel welcome, and even allowed us to feed ducks! This tour was a highlight of my trip; highly recommend doing this when in Amsterdam.read moreread lessVapsi24/05/24Tony is a good story teller and has a wonderful attitude!

Dank Jan, der perfekten Captain Dave Vertretung ;-), absolut kurzweilige und 1,5 Stunden am Wasser dieser faszinierenden Stadt verbracht. Geschichten ohne Ende und das Wissen eines echten Amsterdamers. Dazu die Bewirtung - super Smoothies, Kaffee und nicht zu vergessen der Zuckerkuchen mit Butter! Auf jeden Fall mehr als zu empfehlen und sicher absolut anders als die Unmenge an Booten, die sonst unterwegs sind.read moreread lessMartina21/05/24 -
Amazing Experience We had such a wonderful morning on the canals with Jan today. The tour was stunning, small, super informative and very quiet at that time of day. Highly recommend this tour!
read moreread lessKim M19/05/24I’m really glad I did this. First, it’s easy to find the boat. Second, Tony, our captain, was super knowledgeable about the city and the boat. He brought us some breakfast snacks and juice, and is a great storyteller. Third, the canals are so calm in the day time — it was su ch a peaceful way to start the morning. Fourth, he leaves you right in Jordaan so you can explore that neighborhood right after!read moreread lessBianca15/05/24We were blown away by the experience. We got Jan as our captain and he was really great, friendly, with lots of knowledge and fun facts about the city and the canals. We had smooth sailing and gorgeous spring weather. The boat had coffee, pastries and smoothies. We were 11 people on this tour all comfortably seated inside and outside. This type of small tour feels so much authentic than the bigger vessels. We were able to ask questions and Jan was engaging and so hospitable. I would 💯 recommend.read moreread lessAnabella14/05/24Cosy small boat, great value for money Very enjoyable. The boat was lovely, and with only 12 passengers there was ample room for everyone to move around and take pictures. There was food and drink on offer if you wanted it, even wine but for us it was a little early in the morning. Jasper was extremely entertaining and knowledgeable, we really enjoyed our trip. I would highly recommend this.
