Plan the perfect romantic boat trip in Amsterdam.
Imagine this: just the two of you, gently gliding through the historic canals of Amsterdam. The golden light of the setting sun reflects off the rippling water, the city’s stately canal houses cast soft shadows, and all around you, the world begins to slow down. That’s the magic of a romantic boat trip in Amsterdam. It’s a moment just for the two of you—peaceful, intimate, and utterly unforgettable. And the best part? Creating this special experience is easier than you might think. With Mokumboot, you’re only a few steps away from your love story on the water.
Take the helm together.
Looking to make your time together even more personal? Renting a boat and steering it yourself adds a charming twist to your romantic escape. At Mokumboot, we make it easy to take control of your own adventure. Cruise at your own pace, choose your route together and enjoy the freedom of exploring the canals on your own terms. Whether you’re celebrating an anniversary, or special date, or want to surprise your partner, this is your moment to create something uniquely yours. Pack a picnic basket filled with your favourite nibbles, play some soft music, and watch as the city slowly drifts by. It’s not just a boat ride—it’s your own private haven, afloat on the Amsterdam canals.
Pick the perfect time of day.
Timing is everything when it comes to creating the right atmosphere. If you’re after a golden, dreamy backdrop, opt for a sunset cruise. As the sun dips below the horizon, the city glows with warm light, the canal waters shimmer, and everything feels more romantic. Prefer something quieter and more peaceful? Set sail in the early morning when Amsterdam is still waking up. The calmness of the water and the gentle rhythm of the city coming to life create a serene start to your day together. And for those looking to end the day with a touch of magic, an evening cruise is simply perfect. The city lights up with twinkling reflections, the streets calm down, and the mood is set for connection and cosiness.
Add a personal touch.
The little things make all the difference. Why not bring along some fresh strawberries, a bottle of chilled wine or a favourite sweet treat? Light some candles, toast to the moment, and turn your boat into a floating picnic spot, complete with all the comforts you need. Whether it’s a spontaneous gesture or something you’ve been planning for weeks, those thoughtful touches will make your boat trip feel special.
Don’t forget the details.
Sometimes, it’s the smallest surprises that create the biggest smiles. A heartfelt note, a bouquet of flowers, can turn a beautiful moment into an unforgettable memory. Planning to extend your romantic escape? Mokumboot’s pick-up points are conveniently found near a variety of charming restaurants. After your cruise, step ashore and enjoy a cosy dinner just a short stroll away. It’s the perfect way to round off your day of connection and celebration.
Let us do the sailing.
Would you prefer to relax completely and focus solely on each other? Let us take the reins with a romantic canal cruise led by one of our experienced skippers. All you must do is step aboard—everything else is taken care of. Our captains know every hidden gem and picturesque corner of the city, and they’ll guide you past the most beautiful spots. While you unwind and enjoy the view. It’s a truly effortless way to soak up the atmosphere and share a quiet moment together.
A romantic evening to remember.
There’s something incredibly intimate about sailing through Amsterdam in the evening. The streets grow quieter, the sky deepens to a velvety blue, and the city transforms into a glowing labyrinth of bridges and reflections. During our evening canal cruises, the gentle lights along the water create a peaceful and romantic mood that invites you to cuddle closer and enjoy the stillness together. Bring a snack or a warm drink, wrap yourselves in a blanket, and let the city’s charm wash over you.
The ideal boat for your date
Choosing the right boat sets the tone for your romantic journey. If you’re after something cosy and intimate, our traditional tugboat is the perfect fit. These beautifully restored vessels come with soft cushions, comfortable seating, and a warm atmosphere ideal for a quiet, romantic cruise. And if the weather isn’t on your side? No worries—we’ll cover the deck, so you stay warm, dry, and snug.
If it’s sunny and you’re in the mood for something light and cheerful, go for an open boat. With nothing between you and the sky, you’ll enjoy the fresh breeze, the sounds of the city, and plenty of space to stretch out and enjoy the view. It’s the ultimate way to connect with your surroundings—and each other.
