Sharing a boat doesn't mean sharing the tourist experience. Our shared cruises are designed for travelers who want to meet like-minded people without the chaos of mass tourism. With never more than 12 guests aboard, you'll find yourself in conversations with fellow explorers rather than competing for space with strangers. It's the perfect balance: social enough to make new friends, intimate enough to actually learn something, and small enough that everyone gets their moment with the captain.
Reserve your spot or regret it in a crowded boat
Sophie is our crown jewel, a fully restored 1911 salon boat that's seen more Amsterdam history than most locals. After a complete renovation that preserved her original charm while adding modern luxuries, she's now both a floating piece of history and the most comfortable way to see the city. Her spacious design handles both intimate shared cruises and exclusive private charters, with a cozy heated salon, flexible outdoor seating, and that full-size open bar everyone raves about.
One guest captured it perfectly: "The boat was enchanting, the captain a treasure trove of knowledge" - and after 90 minutes aboard Sophie, you'll understand why she's been charming Amsterdam visitors for over a century.
Here's the thing about our shared cruises: they feel semi-private because they basically are. While other operators pack 30+ people around fixed tables, we've created something different: a shared experience that doesn't feel shared at all. You're free to move around, choose your spot, and engage with your captain as much or as little as you want. The conversations flow naturally, the drinks are always flowing, and those Dutch nibbles appear exactly when you need them. As one traveler put it, “The small group made it feel personal and special” which is exactly what happens when you prioritize experience over capacity.
The international open bar, nibbles, snacks and an awesome captain are included in the price.
A 90-minute shared cruise starts at €55 for adults and €35 for children under 14, giving you all the benefits of intimacy and flexibility without being completely private.
