Fast, comfortable and unique
The Aquatender connects destinations around Amsterdam, the IJmeer, and the Markermeer. Ideal for business groups, exclusive transfers, and experiential tours with a focus on nature and maritime heritage, but it is also a fun way to get out and about as a visitor to the city.
On board, you enjoy a comfortable and personal experience with plenty of space to relax, consult, and explore. Groups can choose from various programs. The Aquatenders can be booked year-round upon request.
The Aquatender is easily accessible. From Amsterdam Central Station, it is a 13-minute tram ride on 26 to Amsterdam IJburg, where the Aquatender is ready for departure. This way, you can effortlessly combine a visit to the vibrant capital with a unique experience on the water.
IJburg – Sluishuis and Haveneiland Sluis
The modern Sluishuis is where city and water embrace. The iconic building appears to float, a symbol of progressive Amsterdam water design. At the Haveneiland lock, you board the stylish Aquatender for tours to islands and harbors that once formed the gateways to the Zuiderzee.
The Amsterdam skyline slowly disappears behind us as the silence of the water takes over. IJburg is where the Aquatender sets course: stylish, fast, and sustainable.
Pampus
The Aquatender sails to Fort Island Pampus, once a defensive fort of the Amsterdam Defence Line. Here, 'lying before Pampus' takes on a literal meaning: ships used to wait here for access to the harbour.
Today, it is a place of discovery, innovation, and history. The fort tells stories of freedom, energy, and the future – from steam power to solar energy. A trip to Pampus is a journey from tradition to sustainability, with views over endless water.
