Overview
Hop aboard for an unforgettable journey through Amsterdam's charming waterways with the Open Boat Cruise from Stromma. With small group sizes, you'll feel the personal touch from your knowledgeable skipper, who not only navigates the canals but also shares fun stories and little anecdotes. You’ll discover hidden gems and lesser-known spots, along with big landmarks, all from the comfort of a fully electric boat. This eco-friendly option ensures a serene cruise, allowing you to absorb the city's beauty and charm without the distraction of loud engines.
The tour takes you through narrow, quiet canals lined with historic buildings that date back to the Golden Age, where you can see Amsterdam as it was meant to be seen—up close and personal. You can also purchase light refreshments on board, all the while enjoying stunning views. Each bend in the canal reveals something new…

Une belle découverte d’Amsterdam avec Jaap
Laurence, Daryl & Ziad ·Très belle expérience pour découvrir Amsterdam depuis les canaux ! Le bateau est un peu serré et assez haut, donc il faut parfois se mettre un peu debout pour bien voir ce qui arrive devant nous, mais cela reste une balade très agréable. Un grand merci à Jaap, qui était vraiment très sympathique et nous a donné de superbes explications tout au long de la croisière sur les différents sites et quartiers de la ville. Une façon très sympa de découvrir Amsterdam !
