Perfect summer sunset cruise. Mar was a fantastic skipper and his stories made Amsterdam come alive.

Our evening sunset cruise with Mar was one of the highlights of our time in Amsterdam. He was an excellent skipper—friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to answer questions without ever making the experience feel scripted. The stories and historical context he shared throughout the cruise added so much to what we were seeing. Booking the 9:30 p.m. departure turned out to be the perfect decision during the summer, as we enjoyed the canals in the beautiful late-evening light. There were only three guests on board, which made the whole experience feel relaxed, personal, and unhurried. If you’re visiting in the summer, I highly recommend the later time slot. Thank you, Mar, for a fantastic evening.
