About the experience

Step aboard the Noor Iza and cruise straight into history on this 3-hour private Historical Tour through the heart of old Amsterdam. On this elegant 8-meter Waterman Sloep 8.0 — powered by a smooth 90hp engine — you and up to 9 guests will experience the city as sailors, merchants, and revolutionaries once did: by water.

This isn’t just a tour — it’s time travel with a breeze. We’ll glide past legendary landmarks like the majestic VOC ship, ancient trade warehouses, the Westerkerk, and bridges older than many countries. Discover the stories behind Amsterdam’s rise during the Dutch Golden Age and uncover the lives of those who shaped its legacy.

A highlight? The city’s oldest house, dating back to 1475 — still standing, still proud, and only visible in all its glory from the water.

Onboard, you’ll enjoy comfort and ambiance: a top-tier sound system, cozy seating, and your choice of drinks and snacks. With your passionate skipper (that’s me!) as your guide, this experience is tailored to your pace and preferences.

Whether you're a history lover or just curious, this tour offers a rich and unforgettable dive into Amsterdam’s past — from the most magical point of view.

Itinerary

Starting location:
Westerdok, Amsterdam, Netherlands
VOC Ship & Old Warehouses
We begin near the replica VOC ship and historic warehouses — reminders of Amsterdam’s 17th-century trade empire. These docks once buzzed with ships, spices, and sailors from around the world.
The Westerkerk
Sailing past the Westerkerk, you’ll spot its tall tower — a beloved city landmark. Built in 1631, it stood watch over the Jordaan district and was once the tallest building in Amsterdam.
Ancient Bridges
As we glide under some of the city’s oldest bridges, imagine the merchants and horse carts that once crossed them. These stone and brick structures have seen centuries of city life unfold.
Amsterdam’s Oldest House
Keep an eye out for a modest wooden house from 1475 — the oldest in Amsterdam! A rare survivor of time, it offers a quiet glimpse into medieval city life.
Arrive back at:
Westerdok, Amsterdam, Netherlands

    The trip with Jason was top-notch, the boat is amazing, Jason did a lot of explaining and showed us a beautiful Amsterdam from the riverside. He also provided snacks and drinks, I will recommend him to all my friends. We have been two mums with two small kids, it was a perfect way to experience Amsterdam without exhausting the small legs

    We booked Jason and his beautiful boat, the Noor Iza, through Click&Boat, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The Noor Iza is a stunning vessel – spacious, comfortable, and equipped with everything you could wish for: a toilet, fridge/freezer, cozy seat cushions, and excellent speakers. Together with my husband, our two sons, and my parents, we had the best time enjoying everything there was to see during SAIL Amsterdam. The views were simply breathtaking. Jason is an outstanding captain who knows the waters of Amsterdam like the back of his hand. Safety is clearly his top priority, which gave us complete peace of mind throughout the trip. On top of that, he shared fascinating stories and insights about the history of Amsterdam and the ships participating in SAIL, which made the experience even more special. This tour is a true gem – far beyond the standard boat rides you’ll find elsewhere. If you want a unique and memorable way to see Amsterdam and SAIL, with an exceptional captain at the helm, Jason is the one to book. Highly recommended!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our evening cruise during Sail! Jason knows the sailing routes well, knows exactly what's fun, and how to avoid the usual routes. Everything was organized quickly, flexibly, and with enthusiasm. The boat is beautiful, clean, and comfortable. But above all, Jason is an excellent skipper. That means you only have to do one thing: enjoy yourself carefree. Highly recommended!
