The St. Nicolaas Boat Club was founded in 1997 by Peter
Moskos and Toine Rikken.
The stichting (non-profit club) was established to preserve
historic boats and let people enjoy the canals from something
other than a big glassed-in tour boat.
Amazingly, thanks to the hard work and dedication of all our
captains, we're still afloat.
Thousands of guests have ridden on our boats. For many of
them, it was the highlight of the Amsterdam visit.
We're partial to Tuindersvletten with inboard motors, but more
than anything we like being on the water and being with each
other.
In 2006, after years of hassle, we finally won our legal battle
and are no longer hassled by the authorities. We're legit!
That's the short version. Buy us a beer or two and we could go
on-and-on. Why, I remember that time when I was crossing the
Ij... "Adventures in the Ij seas," said Bob...
