Romantic Boat Trip
There is little as enchanting as a romantic boat trip through the canals of Amsterdam. The gently rippling water, the historic canal houses and the intimate atmosphere make a cruise an unforgettable experience. At Rederij De Jordaan, that romance is taken to the next level. With two classic salon boats, the Farahilde from 1908 and the Welmoed from 1932, you experience Amsterdam as it was meant to be: stylish, warm and personal.

Exclusive, Intimate and Private Boat Trip
Whether you want to celebrate a special moment, surprise your partner or simply enjoy a relaxing cruise together, a private boat trip with captain is the perfect way to spend quality time together. Thanks to the small-scale nature of Rederij De Jordaan, suitable for groups of up to 12 people, every trip feels exclusive and intimate. Most importantly, you receive the full attention and hospitality of the experienced captains, led by owner and captain Reinhard Spronk.







A Unique Setting for Love
One of the greatest advantages of a romantic canal cruise is the atmosphere of the classic salon boats. The wooden details, glass structure and warm lighting create an ambiance that immediately invites relaxation. When the boat gently glides through the curves of the canals and you look out together at the city through the windows, time seems to stand still for a moment.
Many couples choose a boat trip as part of their wedding, engagement or anniversary. A salon boat is a special place to create beautiful memories. During sunset you enjoy a fairy-tale view of the city, while in the evening the bridges and canal houses light up like a film set. It is romance in its purest form.
Private and Fully Tailor-Made
A romantic boat trip with Rederij De Jordaan is always private. This means only you and your guests are on board, together with the captain. Each cruise can therefore be tailored to your wishes. Would you like a good bottle of wine on board, a drinks platter or a fully catered dinner? Everything is possible. Thanks to the small scale and personal approach, the company is happy to think along about every detail so that the boat trip perfectly matches your plans.
In addition, the historic charm of the salon boats provides a calm experience that you will not find on larger tour boats. No crowds and no fixed routes, but a relaxed cruise where you can decide which parts of Amsterdam you want to explore. From the idyllic Jordaan to the atmospheric canal belt, every route has its own romance.

Rederij De Jordaan is known for its combination of craftsmanship, hospitality and love for Amsterdam’s traditions. The boats are maintained with great care and the captains know the canals like no one else. As a result, every cruise feels personal and authentic rather than standard.
A romantic boat trip is therefore much more than a cruise; it is an experience you share together and remember with pleasure for a long time. Whether you choose an intimate trip for two or a small celebration with family or friends, the classic salon boats always provide the perfect atmosphere.
So would you like to celebrate love in a truly special way? Let yourself drift along the peace and beauty of the Amsterdam canals and discover how special a romantic cruise can be.
