At Lovely Cruises, you can rent a Private Open Boat exclusively for your own group. This allows you to enjoy a personalised and relaxed boat trip through Amsterdam with friends, family, colleagues or any other group.

The Luxury Open Boats are compact and comfortable, and stylishly furnished, for an unforgettable experience on the water. Their smaller size creates an intimate atmosphere, allowing you to cruise not only along the major canals such as the Herengracht and Prinsengracht, but also through narrow canals that larger boats cannot access, outside of the regular routes. This gives you a chance to discover Amsterdam from a unique perspective.

The Lovely Cruises boats are fully electric and run silently, so you can enjoy the city in complete tranquillity. What’s more, you don’t have to steer the boat yourself: an experienced skipper will take you along the most beautiful routes, whilst you sit back and enjoy the views and the company. And from the central boarding points near the Anne Frank House and Amsterdam Central Station, your private cruise begins in a great location in the city.

Lovely Cruises’ private Open Boats are perfect for a variety of occasions and turn every moment into something special. Celebrate a birthday with your family, organise a business event with partners, or surprise your colleagues with a fun company drinks party or team-building outing. 

A Private Boat Rental also offers the perfect setting for a family gathering, a bachelor party with friends, client entertainment or an anniversary celebration. Even during the holidays, a boat trip through Amsterdam feels extra special. Enjoy the views, the relaxed atmosphere and the unique experience of the city from the water together.

The private canal cruise can be fully tailored to your wishes, so that everything is organised down to the last detail for you and your party. Our reservations team will be happy to work with you to put together a private cruise that perfectly suits your occasion. 

Complete your Open Boat Tour with one of the drinks packages, from €12.50 per person per hour. A drink on board is the perfect addition to a cruise through Amsterdam. You can choose from packages featuring beer, wine and soft drinks, or enquire about the options for spirits and cocktails. Whichever package you choose, we’ll ensure your favourite drinks are ready and waiting for you on board.

Your Private Boat Rental departs from two centrally located boarding points, within walking distance of Amsterdam Central Station and the Anne Frank House on the Prinsengracht. Prefer to board or disembark at a different location? That’s also possible. For a surcharge of €75 per location, depending on availability, you can choose an alternative boarding and/or dropping-off point.
