Belle Epoque

The Belle Epoque offers an exceptional way to explore the canals of Amsterdam. With original Art Deco design, full standing height throughout the boat, heating, and a marble bar, she provides comfort all year round. As the largest boat in the Private Boat Tours fleet, the Belle Epoque accommodates up to 28 guests for drinks, 24 guests for a buffet and 20 guests for a seated dinner. Whether you are organising a private drinks reception, a birthday celebration, a wedding cruise, a business gathering or an intimate dinner, she offers an exceptional way to experience Amsterdam’s historic canals together. Built in 1910, the Belle Epoque has more than a century of history on the water. Her beautifully restored interior reflects the elegance of the early twentieth century, with original Art Deco design elements, raw silk curtains, luxurious leather upholstery and polished teak details. The atmosphere is both grand and inviting, offering a distinctive alternative to conventional event venues. Full standing headroom throughout the boat creates a comfortable environment for mingling and socialising, while heating ensures a pleasant experience throughout the year. When the weather allows, the salon windows and sliding roof over the aft deck can be opened to bring the outdoors in. Guests can enjoy the fresh air and views of Amsterdam while moving between the elegant interior and the open-air seating area. With more than a century of history, the Belle Epoque brings together character, hospitality and the freedom of being on the water. It is an exceptional choice for those looking to host an event in Amsterdam that goes beyond the ordinary.
