Dinner cruise Amsterdam drinks

Dining on Amsterdam’s canals

An evening on the water with good food and your own company, that is the dinner boat. You cruise for 1.5 hours past the Jordaan, the narrow bridges and the canal houses, while a fresh 3-course menu and buffet are served on board. An experienced skipper sails, so all you have to do is take your seat. On the covered salon boat you stay warm and dry, and music is welcome on board. Are you with a group less than 10 people? No worries, check out our shared dinner cruise.

Our boats for the dinner cruise

Bootuitjes sails with several boats and they are all electric, luxurious and include a skipper. For a dinner cruise we prefer a salon boat: covered and heated, so you sit comfortably at the table all year round and music on board is welcome. For a larger group we move up to a roomier salon boat. Our boats are moored close to Central Station, so you are aboard in no time.

Good to know

The saloon boat

Our saloon boats are luxuriously and comfortably furnished, ideal for cruising through the Amsterdam canals in any season. The boats are fully electric, making them quiet and smooth to sail. In good weather, the windows can be opened, while in less favorable weather, you stay protected and warm. A restroom is available on board, so you can enjoy the cruise without any worries.

The drinks package

The basic drinks package includes beer, wine, and soft drinks. Want to upgrade the package, for example with a glass of Prosecco or a spirit? You can easily do this when making your request.

Information about your group icon

Your group

This sloop is completely private for your group. You cruise exclusively with an experienced skipper who knows the Amsterdam canals inside out and ensures a relaxed and comfortable ride. This way, you can enjoy each other’s company without interruption, while everything on board runs smoothly.

Music on board Saloon Boat Amsterdam

In Amsterdam, it is not allowed to play loud music in public. On a covered saloon boat, however, music may be played as long as it does not cause a disturbance to the surroundings.

Amsterdam Light Festival

Dinner cruise during an event

Amsterdam hosts events all year round, from the Amsterdam Light Festival to the buzz around King’s Day. That is exactly when a dinner boat is a great way to experience the city. You sit down for your 3-course menu while the lights drift past along the water. Great food in the front row, without the crowds on the quay. Something to celebrate around such an evening? We will turn it into a dinner on the water.

Got a celebration this summer? We’ll make it a party

Whether it's a birthday, anniversary, family outing or just because. Leave the rest to us.

Dinner cruise Amsterdam for a company outing or party

Dining out with colleagues or friends can be done anywhere, but a dinner boat takes it to another level. You share a table on the water and have the whole boat to yourselves. For a company outing everything is arranged and invoiceable: the boat, the skipper, the menu and the drinks. For a birthday or anniversary the salon boat is a warm, cozy place to come together. And if you are not done celebrating yet? You step ashore right by the centre, straight into the city.

Frequently asked questions

If I request a quote, am I committed to it?

No, if you make a request, it is completely non-binding and free! Once you have received the quote, you can simply indicate whether you agree or not.

What happens when it rains?

Fortunately, it rarely rains all day, so if it starts to rain during your Amsterdam boat tour, we will take shelter under a bridge. We also have umbrellas to protect us from the rain while we look for a bridge. In winter, we cover the boat with a roof. It is a transparent and clear roof that has been specially designed for the ultimate view and sightseeing experience. In dry weather, we can unzip the sides so that we still have an open boat cruise.

How far in advance do I need to make a reservation?

You can book as early or as late as you like. Keep in mind, the longer you wait, the higher the chance that your preferred day is already fully booked. Still want to book last-minute? Feel free to ask us about the possibilities.

Is there a minimum number of people required on the boat?

We have different boat sizes for groups between 8 and 150 people. For groups smaller than 8 people, we recommend our individual tickets for a canal cruise.

Can I also book the boat with fewer than 10 people?

Even if you want to go out with a smaller group, you can still book a boat. Payment is based on a group of 10 people, but you can board with 8 or 5 people as well.

Can I smoke during the cruise

For safety reasons, we do not allow smoking on our boats, so both smokers and non-smokers can enjoy the tour. However, we can tell you some good places to go after the tour where you can smoke nice, high-quality tobacco.

Can we board somewhere else?

Yes, it is possible to board somewhere else. Keep in mind, however, that this may incur additional costs. Feel free to ask us about the possibilities.
