About
Blue Boat Company is a tour operator in Amsterdam that has been organizing boat tours through the canals since 1948, departing near Leidseplein. The cruises take visitors along Amsterdam’s famous canals, which are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. During the popular City Canal Cruise, which lasts about 75 minutes, guests discover the city from the water, with an audio guide available in multiple languages. Evening cruises and special themed tours are also available. For families, there is a special Kids Cruise, where children get to know the city in a playful way through stories and audio clips. This makes Blue Boat Company a suitable activity in Amsterdam for both adults and children. The company is strongly committed to sustainability and has converted a large part of its fleet to electric boats. This allows visitors to enjoy the city in peace, without noise pollution and with less impact on the environment. The boats depart from Stadhouderskade 501, across from the Hard Rock Cafe, and are easily accessible from the city center. Additionally, private cruises are available, ideal for groups, events, or a special occasion on the water. Blue Boat Company is thus one of the best-known providers of boat tours in Amsterdam and an ideal way to discover the city from the water.
