Drinks on a boat in Amsterdam
A drinks cruise on a boat is an easy-going way to organise a fun outing with a group. Everything is taken care of: boat, snacks, drinks and route. Relaxed, social and well arranged.
Our boats sail 100% electric on green energy, quiet and clean through the canals of Amsterdam. While glasses clink and snacks are passed around, the Amsterdam waterways glide calmly past. The views of historic canal houses, bridges and illuminated quays make every drinks cruise a special experience.
On a comfortable salon boat
Our salon boats provide the ideal setting for drinks. Large windows give you a wonderful view while you enjoy your drink. In nice weather the roof opens and you have drinks in the open air; if it rains, the roof slides shut and you stay sheltered. All boats have heating and a toilet, so you sail comfortably in any season.

How does a drinks cruise on a boat work?
1 - Welcome on board
You are received at a central boarding location in Amsterdam, where our crew welcomes you. As soon as you step on board, the first drinks are already chilled and the snacks are ready.
2 - Welcome moment
Once everyone is on board, the boat departs calmly from the quay. A welcome drink in hand, the first bar snacks are served. This is the moment to relax and find your company.
3 - Setting sail
As the boat glides quietly and electrically through the canals, the views keep changing while conversations get going and the atmosphere becomes cosier by the minute.
4 - Drinks in full swing
The snacks go round, the glasses are topped up. Whether you're standing, sitting or walking around: the salon offers plenty of space to network, chat or simply enjoy. In nice weather the roof opens for that extra outdoor feeling.
5 - Enjoying the views
As the drinks cruise continues, you pass Amsterdam's most beautiful spots. Time for a photo, a toast, or just taking in the moment. The skipper knows the route and knows the best views.
6 - Return trip
After the drinks cruise, we sail calmly back to the boarding location. On arrival, the crew helps you off the boat. A fun drinks cruise on the Amsterdam canals -- that's an afternoon or evening that stays with you.
