Join me on a journey to explore Amsterdam over the canals with a maximum of 8 guests at a time. All cruises through Friday to Tuesday are captained and guided by myself Boudewijn Metzelaar aka ¨Captain Jack¨ for those that are unable to pronounce my impossible Dutch name :-) Wednesday and Thursday one of my friends is taking over. There is comfortable seating for each guest indoor and outdoors, whatever the unreliabe Dutch weather may bring you will be comfortable onboard the fully electric ¨Drift Away¨ ship. A full array of (alcoholic) drinks and delicious snacks are included. Feel free to enjoy yourself with the beverages, there is a bathroom onboard! I am not only an Amsterdammer by birth, I am one by heart. Through my diverse upbringing en life choices I have developed a unique perspective on Amsterdam which I really enjoy sharing with others. The small scale of maximum 8 guests allows for an intimate and enjoyable level of conversation during the cruise.

  • Amsterdam Canal Ring, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
    All cruises are captained by myself as the captain/owner of the Drift Away. We depart from the Singel no.7 and we will return to this location at the end of the cruise. I do not offer a fixed route, depending on your wishes as guests I will tailor the cruise to you specifically. Due to the custom design of the Drift Away we have access to even the narrowest canals of Amsterdam and are able to pass even the lowest of bridges. If you do not have any preferences I will put together a route which will give you an overview of the canal belt, a few of the small less travelled canals, the Amstel river and the eastern maritime area. As a born and raised ¨Amsterdammer¨ I have a wealth of knowledge about Amsterdams history, culture and the Dutch way of life in general. I love sharing with you about my hometown in an easy going manner, with a good sense of humor and the typical Dutch straight forwardness!

We had an excellent experience with Captain John on our evening canal cruise! He showed us many amazing sites in the city as well as gave us very interesting information about the history and culture of Amsterdam. Although we sat in the open air portion of the boat because it was a beautiful evening, we appreciated that there was also an enclosed area in case we needed it. The on-board bathroom was much appreciated as well. The wine, beer and mixed drinks as well as the several snacks that are included at no extra cost were all a great bonus to our trip. Captain John even offered warm blankets for anyone who wanted one! Everyone on board thoroughly enjoyed themselves. We would definitely recommend Bow's Journeys to anyone looking for a canal cruise in Amsterdam!

We enjoyed a beautiful day exploring the canals of Amsterdam on the gorgeous “Sophie”. The eight of us on the tour sat outside on the foredeck drinking in the sunshine and (included) cocktails while listening to the points of interest noted by our captain (a dead ringer for Bill Nighy in a sea captain’s uniform!). An excellent way to spend an Amsterdam afternoon! Highly recommended!!!

Great tour with El Capitan Hans! Is more expensive than the regular, bigger tourist boats, but we loved the small, beautifully restored historic boat. And we learned a lot from Hans’ all-English tour. Highly recommended!
