A private party boat through Amsterdam’s canals
An Amsterdam party boat gives your celebration something a normal venue cannot offer: movement, scenery and the atmosphere of the canals. Instead of staying in one place, your group travels through the city with changing views of Amsterdam’s bridges, canal houses, quiet waterways and lively terraces.
Canal Motorboats has been part of Amsterdam’s boating scene since 1996, so we know how much the route, boat type and group setup shape the experience. Whether you are planning a birthday, bachelor party, bachelorette party, company drinks, team outing or celebration with friends, a private cruise gives your group space to enjoy the city together.
Party on Amsterdam’s canals in almost any weather
You can celebrate on the canals in almost any weather. In sunny conditions, our 30 person sloops can be fully open, giving your group clear views of the city. If the weather changes, these boats can be partially or fully covered, and umbrellas are available to help keep everyone comfortable and dry.
Our 12, 50 and 75 person saloon boats are covered regardless of the weather. The 12 person saloon boat also has an open aft deck that can be covered in bad weather. The final setup is decided at the start of the day based on the weather and other practical factors.
Boat types for every group size
There are boat options for different group sizes and styles of celebration, from open or covered sloops to intimate saloon boats and larger fully covered boats for groups of 50 or 75 guests. Our 12, 50 and 75 person saloon boats also allow for extra catering options, seated dinners and standing buffet-style dinners.
Planning a larger celebration? For groups above 75 people, we can often work with multiple boats. Contact us and we will help find the best setup for your group.
Flexible boarding locations
Your standard boarding location is right in front of Amsterdam Central Station, near Stationsplein 18. Prefer to start or end somewhere else in the city? Contact us and we can usually arrange a flexible boarding location for an additional fee.
