We did a boat tour with Joe in the Jackson 5, we brought our own food/drinks and it was so chill. Joe was an amazing captain and funny! He gave us all the history in Amsterdam, answered all our questions, gave us tips where we can find good bars. Overall, a great experience with Joe! Super chill guy and just great! Definitely agree with him that seeing Amsterdam in a boat cruise is better and boat cruises are not overrated!

Captain Pete was fun, informative and a great host. The boat is smaller and more intimate.  Bring your own beverages or buy some at the shop for convenience. Picked the 6pm boat in early March. Got lucky with weather and was beautiful.  It's chilly so bring warm clothes.

We had such a great time with our little group with Captain Joe, a couple from Dublin, 3 young ladies from England, their friend from Philadelphia and me, and  my wife from Upstate NY.  Capn Joe regaled us with his knowledge of Amsterdam history and culture. He also made us laugh with his quick wit. Would highly recommend this tour if you are looking for something fun to do while in Amsterdam, but remember BYOB.
