The route
We cast off under the Westerkerk and drift down the Prinsengracht past the Anne Frank House, cut through the Nine Streets and the Leidsegracht, and slow right down along the Golden Bend.
At the Reguliersgracht we stop for the seven bridges, turn at the Munttoren past the flower market, and come home up the Herengracht past the Bartolotti House.
On board
An open boat with twelve seats, blankets when it’s cool and a roof when it rains.
