We at the St. Nicolaas Boat Club of Amsterdam love our boats and
we love taking people out on our boats. Come for a ride anytime.

What: It's not a proper guided tour. So come to relax and have a good
time. It's a better ride when you bring food and drinks and smokes. We
don't sell anything. Our boats are open. Unless it's a heat wave in July,
dress warmly! We usually won't go out if it's raining. But we usually
have access to weather radar. So we can predict the short-
term weather pretty well. Usually.  

Where: We are located on the Leidseplein at Leidseplein 12, Amsterdam,
the Netherlands. Sign up for the boats are meet our guests inside.
It is a 5 minute walk from the bar to the canal where our boats are tied.

When: Current departure information and the sign-up sheets, usually
good for about a week in advance, are available. We generally run 1
or 2 boats a day in the afternoon in the winter, and 3 - 4 boats a day
in the afternoon or evening in the summer. The boat rides last about
an hour in the winter and up to an hour and a half in the summer.

How: The schedule for the boat rides are across from the bar. If
you would like to sign up for a boat, go into Leidseplein 12 and
follow the instructions in our sign-up area.

Sorry, but you have to go to in person to see the boat
schedule and sign up for a ride. Alas, there is no way to reserve boats
online or via e-mail. It's just too complicated for us and takes us away
from our boats and toward the realm of business.

We're not trying to be difficult, it's just that we have no office much less
office help. We have no phone. We have no scheduling meetings.
We're not professionals and this isn't a tour-boat business. We're
volunteers keeping up a couple of boats. But please don't let this
discourage you.

How much: We accept donations. We hope for 10 euros per person, but it is up to you.

For more information about our donation system or if you have some question and need to contact you, please see the Frequently Asked Questions.
