Experience Amsterdam Light Festival differently from the water

Your guests. Your boat. Amsterdam as the backdrop.

No shared cruise with strangers. The boat is exclusively yours and your guests'.

It is comfortably heated inside, while the panoramic glass roof keeps the light artworks and Amsterdam in full view. Add drinks or dinner on board and your cruise becomes a complete evening out.

“Reliable, clear and always true to their word. When two guests could not make the agreed time, the captain found an extra mooring along the way so they could still come aboard.”
