See Amsterdam the way it was meant to be seen - from the water, at the right pace, with people who actually live here.

We drift different. While other boats herd 50+ people with megaphones, we keep it small and real. Think Amsterdam friends who own a boat. Your captains, Jannah & Beer were born here. They know which bridge lights up best, where locals like to drink coffee and share some real life stories of crazy stuff we experienced on the canals. Come as you are. Kick off shoes, grab blankets, help yourself to drinks. This isn't a museum boat - it's floating through Amsterdam in your friend's living room. We skip tourist traps for hidden gems. You'll float past where Amsterdam actually lives. Max 6 people means real conversations. Amsterdam moves fast. We move at water speed. No rush, no stress. Just good people and calm water. You'll see Amsterdam like locals do - from the water, with people who live here. Plus you get a Polaroid and our insider map. Welcome aboard. Welcome home.
