About the experience

Step aboard Salonboot Diana, a charming covered boat full of character and comfort, and drift away from the crowds into a quieter, more authentic side of Amsterdam. This isn’t your average canal cruise — it’s a laid-back, personal experience hosted by two born-and-raised Amsterdammers eager to share their city as only locals can.

Over 1.5 hours, you’ll explore peaceful, lesser-known canals where time seems to slow down. Forget the scripted tours and tourist-packed decks — here, it’s all about secret swimming spots, cozy corners of the city, and the stories that shaped them. Wrapped in a soft blanket if the breeze kicks in, you’ll glide through serene waterways, listen to insider tales you won’t find in any guidebook, and maybe even dip into the water like the locals do when the mood is right.

The atmosphere on board is relaxed, intimate, and unscripted — just genuine connection, chilled vibes, and a love for Amsterdam shared in the best way possible: from the water.

Escape the expected. Come aboard, slow down, and let us show you the Amsterdam we call home. Seats are limited — book your hidden escape today.

    Everything was 5 stars! The boat is beautiful and has an inside and outside area for all weather conditions. It is also very comfortable. Jannah who was the skipper of the boat was amazing and had great stories about the history of Amsterdam and canal life. I would recommend this boat to everyone.

    A wonderful boat tour through Amsterdam's Red Light District. A warm welcome, clear communication, and a very friendly skipper. There was time for a swim, and we learned all sorts of interesting facts about the city. Thanks, Jannah!

    Excellent! Good communication beforehand and plenty of room (flexibility) for customization. Good historical knowledge, but even more interesting is the heartfelt story about her own experience of living in the Red Light District.
