The best part of renting a boat is the freedom. The missing part is the story.

Without a guide, the canal belt can become one long row of beautiful houses. Amsterdam Mokum Tour adds the reason behind what you are seeing, without taking over the trip or deciding where you should go.

From checkout to the canal in three steps.

A bridge is nicer when you know why everyone remembers it.

Play the Magere Brug sample. It is the kind of short story that fits between steering, talking and looking around.

Made for boats you steer yourself.

Amsterdam Mokum Tour does not rent boats. Use it with a small electric boat, sloop or other rental boat without a skipper. The rental company does not matter. You may also see these boats described as self-drive rentals. We use 'rental boat without a skipper' because it is clearer.

Stories across the canals, not one prescribed loop.

The map contains stories throughout central Amsterdam. Sail through the Jordaan, along the Prinsengracht, towards the Amstel or somewhere completely different. Nearby stories follow the part of the city you actually choose to see.

Guided canal cruise: easy and informative, but the route, timing and group are decided for you.

Rental boat only: private and flexible, but nobody explains what you are passing.

Amsterdam Mokum Tour: your rental boat and your route, with short stories when they add something.

Read along

Coming up over the Amstel is one of Amsterdam's most romantic landmarks.The Magere Brug.The famous white wooden drawbridge.The current bridge was built in 1934.But the very first bridge on this spot dates back to 1691.That early bridge was so narrow, Amsterdammers nicknamed it the Magere Brug.The 'Skinny Bridge'.The name stuck.Today, it's strung with around twelve hundred lights.They give the bridge a wonderfully warm glow at night.Since 2003, it's open only to pedestrians and cyclists.The middle section opens several times a day, to let boats pass.There's even a local story that a kiss on or under the bridge guarantees eternal love.That hasn't hurt its romantic reputation.
