What started as a modest initiative has grown into a highly rated and much-loved experience, thanks to our dedication to authenticity, quality, and personal hospitality.

Our success is built on the enthusiasm of our guests.

These recognitions reflect the unforgettable moments we create, bringing people together on our boats to experience the city in a unique and engaging way.

At Rederij de Wester, we focus on small-scale cruises where passengers share a journey filled with fascinating stories, stunning views, and a relaxed atmosphere. Our experienced skippers bring Amsterdam to life with their knowledge and passion, making every trip more than just a boat ride—it’s an experience of the city’s past and present, told from the water.
