    Amsterdam Canal Ring (pass by)

    Join me on a journey to explore Amsterdam over the canals.All cruises are captained and guided by myself Boudewijn Metzelaar aka ¨Captain Jack¨ for those that are unable to pronounce my impossible Dutch name.We will sail on a fully electric luxury salon boat. There is comfortable seating for each guest indoors and outdoors, whatever the unreliable Dutch weather may bring you will be comfortable onboard the ¨Drift Away¨A full array of (alcoholic) drinks and delicious snacks are included. Feel free to enjoy yourself with the beverages, there is a bathroom onboard!I am not only an Amsterdammer by birth, I am one by heart. Through my diverse upbringing in life choices, I have developed a unique perspective on Amsterdam which I really enjoy sharing with others.The small scale of maximum 8 guests allows for an intimate and enjoyable level of conversation during the cruise.For the route, we can what you prefer, but I of course have ample routes mapped out you can choose from.

    Frequently Asked Questions (8)

    Q: Will I get seasick on Private All-Inclusive Cruise with Captain?

    A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
