Welcome aboard!

BoatAmsterdam.Com offers you the best way to view the Amsterdam Light Festival from one of our comfortable ships!

Through various experiences we have experienced that the world around us is temporary and can suddenly be completely different.

Fortunately, this year the “Amsterdam Light Festival” (ALF) is again organizing the now world famous event to illuminate the city of Amsterdam during the cold and dark winter days. BoatAmsterdam.Com is a proud partner of this festival and organizes daily boat trips to admire the (light) artworks and the canals of Amsterdam.

Let the approximately 20 light artworks and the Amsterdam canals enchant you and let your imagination run wild.

BoatAmsterdam.Com offers you the opportunity to sail past this event and admire the artworks and canals while enjoying (unlimited) hot and cold drinks (depending on your ticket) in a cozy and heated environment. All this while you receive an explanation about the works of art.

You are welcome on our board where you can choose from various options that we offer you. We use various ships, we cannot guarantee which ship you will be on. But all of them are great! For example, our comfortable covered sloops with heated cushions and blankets, but also covered tour boats with heating. We invite you to view our offer, which varies from an ALF cruise with gluhwein to a fully organized company outing or family/friends outing.
