About us
Amsterdam, from the water
Grote Sloep Amsterdam is a small, independent company with two boats: De Olifant and the Stelz. That is exactly why our cruises are personal, relaxed and always for one group only.
Who we are
Our boats, one dedicated team
We look after our boats carefully and do everything ourselves: the contact with you, the route and the cruise. So your request doesn't end up with an agency, but with the people who will actually steer you across the water.
We sail when you want to sail — during the day, in the evening or for a special occasion — and plan the cruise around your group rather than the other way round.
What we stand for
Three things that matter
Calm
One group per cruise. No other guests, no rushed departure times.
Attention
From your first message to the last bridge: we tailor everything to your wishes.
The city
You sail with a local skipper who knows where the water is most beautiful at that moment.
