Jonckvrouw 1928
Cruise in style in the old management boat of de Port of Amsterdam
We sail in the former Dutch government boat from 1928, which was used from 1928 to 2015 by prominent figures such as presidents, mayors, and royal families.
The ship has everything you need, in clear weather we open the roof and windows, when rain, we are warm and dry.
A private boat tour is particularly suitable for family, friends, and colleagues (max. 12 guests). You rent the ship with a English speaking local captain.
From €215 per hour – minimum purchase 90 minutes.






Private cruise at a time that suits you best, with drinks and snacks. Min. duration 90 minutes.



Light Festival cruise, the winter event in Amsterdam. A private cruise with 1st class view.
The boat was used for most of its existence as a management ship for promotional purposes of the city and the port. After replacement, she went to a foundation that renamed the saloon boat Jonckvrouw and completely restored it.
Wonderful! We had time to spare waiting for our room to be available on Viking. We LOVED the cruise. Very informative. Gisela was a. GREAT captain! She had so many gun facts and interesting history. Highly recommend it!
Excellent encoded boat tour Lovely small boat, great captain guide, very pleasant tour better than the bigger boats as could go around smaller canals
Relaxing canal tour Great small group tour. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and personable. Great way to learn about Amsterdam and enjoy the views.
On of the best boats out there. Max of 12 people. It was a beautiful boat and an absolutely outstanding experience!Our only minor issue was that we expected to see a sign or some indication of where to board at the designated address. Since we arrived early, we were a little unsure we were in the right place.My advice: Don’t worry if you don’t see the boat right away. It may not arrive until about 5 minutes before departure, so just be patient and trust the process!I highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a truly memorable experience on the water. The beautiful boat, the fantastic experience, and the intimate atmosphere with a maximum of just 12 people make it feel so much more special than a typical boat tour. The small group size allows you to relax, enjoy the scenery, and really appreciate the experience without feeling crowded.Absolutely worth it — don’t hesitate to book!
Great experience. Would highly recommend FANTASTIC cruise. Jan was our captain/tour guide and he was so knowledgeable, professional and fun. The boat was very nice, beers, wine, snacks and water were included. We would highly recommend him.
A perfect morning on the canals Tour was wonderful. Early on a Sunday morning we were the only boat on the water. It was peaceful and beautiful. It rained during part of our tour but didn’t matter because we were cozy inside with views through the surrounding glass. Our guide Jan was so knowledgeable and personable. We learned so much and were able to ask lots of questions. We can’t recommend this enough.
Informative and relaxed early morning canal tour This was a freat small group morning tour. We chose it because the pick up was in Prinsengracht. Our guide Gisella pointed out loads of interesting things along the canals, she was knowledgeable about history and gave us recommendations for shops, cafes and restaurants. Hot drinks, juice and delicious sugar bread were included.
Highly Recommended! Felt Like Taking A Ride On A Local's Private Boat A wonderful evening on a beautiful boat with Skipper Gisella! We enjoyed a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic description of the sights, with lots of intimate details that made the whole experience more memorable than a standard tour. The small boat ensured easy Q-and-A with the captain and it was fun to watch her operate the helm while narrating, watching for other boats, and answering our questions. A delightful, relaxing, and thoroughly fun way to experience the canals!
a superior way to explore the canals Great tour. Unscripted and interactive. Only 12 people max on the tour so everyone was able to ask questions and we could chat without the need for amplification. I’d say this was a huge contrast to the endless parade of big boats and their formal routes and presentation. Also we missed our slot (our fault) but they just put us on another tour later in the day. Thanks Dave and Gisele.
Small group Nice to do a cruise in a small group, rather than a crowd. Fun and relaxing experience.
Beautiful boat with an awesome tour guide! Captain Jon was very informative as well as entertaining with humorous stories. The boat was beautiful with coffee and juice available and the BEST sugar bread. The early morning cruise gave us the canals all to ourselves ( we saw 4 boats during our 90 minute tour. I highly recommend this cruise!
Brilliant tour 6 stars for this tour. As a seasoned world traveller this is THE BEST. Captain Jan was brilliant as a guide, raconteur & captain. Funny, professional & informed. And also you get to try Fresian cake & fresh 'capsule' coffee & juice. The boat is a star as well. And any talk of politics is not allowed unless .. entertainingYou must try this , small group, flexible tour, questions answered, hilarious, excellent value for money
Fantastic Awesome experience. Wonderful sense of humor and provided great info on the city. Highly recommend.
Amazing bus tour on Amsterdam's canal Amazing boat tour. Shoutout to the very nice blond lady (I didn't get her name sadly). Breakfast delicious, you can open the window, there are covers, the boat is amazing and doesn't really move. I 100% recommend.
Wonderful morning cruise Captain Dave was a wonderful host. He was extremely charming and knowledgeable. We did a morning tour, which was a perfect way to see the city. Coffee, pastries and mimosas were provided on his beautiful boat. He also provided a list of things to do and restaurants to visit. I would highly recommend this tour
Captain Dave & the Amsterdam canal experience Lovely little boat. A great tour of the canals. Very knowledgeable captain.
Captain Dave Did Not Disappoint Our captain was bright and entertaining. The boat is a gem. It was the perfect way to become introduced to Amsterdam (cinnamon bread is great too!). Thank you for the memory!
