    A cruise with Rock That Boat during the Amsterdam Light Festival is fantastic. On the most charming boat on the Amsterdam canals, with a pleasant and good-natured skipper who told us about all the light artworks. Nice and warm, a good playlist and with a drink, such as hot mulled wine or chocolate milk for the kids. Amsterdam by night is a wonderful experience anyway, so even without a light festival it is highly recommended!

    Incredible romantic cruise! Cruise mid-October, with a very good dinner, Delphine speaks French and welcomed us magnificently! If I come back to Amsterdam I will definitely make a reservation again :-)

    We had a wonderful time this Thursday evening thanks to Plien who was a great captain! The meal was very good (the meals are selected from a menu in the boat, and collected by the captain from restaurants in the city), the wine was also very good and the ride was magnificent with the guide's explanations. For toilets, it is possible to use the toilets of partner restaurants for free at each stop of the boat, which is very appreciated. The 2 hours of navigation pass very quickly and it is truly pure joy! We thank Plien again who was more than professional and attentive with us. We forgot our bag on the boat and she was very involved so that we could collect it the next day from a restaurant in Amsterdam. Thanks again to her, her involvement with customers and her attention.

    Our last minute booking for a Light Festival tour on Jan. 2020 with Rock that Boat did not disappoint! Friendly and knowledgeable staff (both about the festival and the city), intimate atmosphere within the boat and lovely experience altogether. We were served mulled wine and given blankets if cold. Boat was covered and despite the rain, we had a great view of the art sculptures while also enjoyed the city at night time.

    We had a wonderful experience with Rock the Boat Company. We wanted to do something different and special to celebrate my friend’s birthday so we booked their private dinner tour. Vanessa was our driver, tour guide and waitress. She did an excellent job at all three. We had a great time talking with her and soaking in her knowledge of Amsterdam. She was just very delightful. The food and wine was also delicious. We went in Feb in the evening so it was a tab bit cold outside but to our pleasant surprise they had a plastic cover over the open area of the boat and had the seats heated and blankets. We were running late due to the train schedule and so I called to let them know and right off they were very accommodating. All in all this is probably one of the best things we did while in Amsterdam.

    My family and I enjoyed a private canal cruise on the historic Delphine to celebrate a milestone birthday. It did not disappoint! The skipper was very friendly and knowledgeable, providing interesting commentary throughout our 75 minute cruise. There were free refreshments to enjoy and blankets to keep us warm. Highly recommend if you prefer a peaceful, personal ride on a smaller boat without lots of other people.

    we did a tour last weekend with 8 person and it was beautiful! The boat has such a wonderful flair, vanessa was the kindest person and showed us such beautiful places on a 1,5 hour tour through the sunset. Ty for that sweet experience :-)

    Now that's a fine little vintage boat to cruise Amsterdam channels, and her fine, good humoured captain/owner Vanessa! My family and me had a highly enjoyable, personalized time on Delphine and are looking forward to tour again with you during our next visit in the coming year.

    We had a wonderful tour with Vanessa on an cozy and intimite-sized boat. Vanessa was knowledgeable and gave us lots of insights into Amsterdam. We’re already pointing out examples of architectural details she taught us. She was more than happy to answer our trivial and curious questions and made us comfortable with beverages and cookies. We spent a charmed two hours on the boat with Vanessa. Thank you!

    Beautiful ‘notary’ boat. We made a lovely boat trip with 6 friends through the canals to view the Amsterdam light festival. Couldn’t be better with captain Remco and big boss Vanessa. Very recommending!

    We really enjoyed our lightfestival tour with Rock that Boat. Easy to book, a very warm welcome, and interesting commentary along the way. As an Amsterdam resident, I learnt something new about our city. Thank you for the great experience, highly recommend!

    We had a private historic cruise. Vanessa was our guide and we were a party of 10 people including four adults, four teens and two little girls. I made the reservation a couple of days in advance and we were able to discuss our plans with her. Since we had a reservation for another tour immediately following the boat tour, Vanessa was able to adjust the start and end times of the cruise to meet our needs. She met us promptly at the meeting point and given our plans for the day, she even dropped us off right in front of the museum! Reliable and absolutely stress free. She gave us a lovely tour of the city canals while providing stories and information about the history of the city. Excellent service, fun for all ages, and was a special addition to our first visit to Amsterdam. Highly recommended!

    Dear Vanessa: I thank you so much for the wonderful boat tour that my friends and I took with you! You are very knowledgeable about the city of Amsterdam and can maneuver your boat with the best of them! It was so relaxing to climb aboard your boat and sit back and relax after flying 30 hours to get to Amsterdam. Of course due to my lack of sleep I left my wallet on your boat without even thinking twice to look for it, but I must admit your tenacity in returning the wallet to me has left me speechless. You went above and beyond to get my belongings to me. I thank you for being a wonderful person that stays true to herself!!!! We hope to be in Amsterdam again next year and will definitely be looking to book a tour with you again…. All the best, Lisa (Las Vegas)

    The nAmsterdam Light Festival with the canal boat was very entertaining. Nice skipper and good choice of music. The Light festival art works are limited but fun.......approx 20 sculptures and presentations during the trip over the canal.

    If you like to have a special drive around the town you need this. Doesn't matter for dining or a romantic champagne /cake trip. You will see the town from a special view.

    Great experience on canal boat Delphine in Amsterdam. I booked a diner-cruise with my daughters. The food was excellent and Vanessa knew the best spots of Amsterdam. Highly recommended!!

    I skippered canal boat Delphine for Rock That Boat. A wedding proposal on this little charming lady is so special . She fits under the bridges of the Groenburgwal and the Raamgracht....the unknown small canals for very romantic tours in Amsterdam!

👍 Nice little place to spot by for a bite after seeing some museums. Food has served quick and the beer was cold. Crispy fries and tasty schnitzel. The staff were really nice as well. The location peers over a busy street so you can get some quality people watching in as well. Haha!
