FAQ
Everything you might want to know before you sail with us.
Our shared tours start and end at the dock in front of Keizersgracht 196, next to the Westerkerk and around the corner of the Anne Frank house conveniently located in the center of Amsterdam — easy to reach by tram or on foot.
For a private tour there is also the possibility to be picked-up at on of the many other official docks in the center of Amsterdam free of charge. For a pick up outside the center of Amsterdam a surcharge could asked depending on the distance.
Please make sure to be at the dock latest 5 minutes before departure as docks are shared and we cannot guarantee to wait.
Our shared daily tour is about 2 hours with start and end at the same dock in front of Keizersgracht 196 and is according to us the minimum amount of time you need to really discover Amsterdam from the water.
Private tours are fully customizable but we advise at least 2 or 3 hours to really get a goo overview of the city and sail pass both the highlights and some hidden gems. And if you have any location you like to sail past just let your captain know at the beginning of the tour and they will incorporate this into the round with pleasure!
On our shared tours we only take a maximum of 10 guests per tour. We keep our groups small on purpose so the experience stays personal and comfortable.
