We’ll meet directly at the boat Jonckvrouw on the canal — no need to ring any bells, just wait by the water.
The Jonckvrouw (Royal Lady), built in 1928, once hosted royalty and presidents. Now fully electric and beautifully restored, she offers a perfect mix of historic charm and modern comfort.
All children, including infants, must have a ticket, as the boat’s maximum capacity is 12 passengers.
Please let us know in advance if you have any accessibility needs so we can assist where possible.
Small pets are welcome on private cruises with prior notice.
Our boat is comfortable for most guests, but toilet facilities are limited. If you have specific needs or medical conditions, please check with us beforehand to ensure this tour suits your comfort.
