Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ
What is the best spot for a boat proposal in Amsterdam?
It depends on what you’re after. Skinny Bridge (Magere Brug) is a more spacious spot if you’d rather avoid tight crowds along the water. For something cozier with an intimate view, quieter canals like Elandsgracht or Brouwersgracht offer a peaceful, safe setting away from the busier waterways. We’ll help you choose the right spot based on the atmosphere you’re looking for.
How does a proposal on the boat actually work?
We use one of three scenarios depending on what fits your plan. In the first, you propose right on a bridge just before boarding, then walk onto the boat together afterward. In the second, your photographer poses as part of the crew, serving drinks and chatting like a guide. At the right moment, they give you a pre-agreed signal before stepping in to capture everything. In the third, you’re already cruising, the photographer waits at a bridge or pier, and the captain stops the boat at the right spot for the moment to happen. Everything is coordinated by our team in advance. Let us know what fits you better, or we can consult with you on which scenario works best.
What is the best time of day to propose on the boat?
It depends on the season. In summer, sunset comes late, giving a warm evening light on the water. In winter, days are shorter, but an evening cruise can be beautifully lit, especially during the light festival. Morning and daytime proposals have their own charm too if you’d rather have a quieter, more relaxed setting.
What's the most crowded time on Amsterdam's canals?
Mornings tend to be quieter, especially on weekdays. Weekends are generally busier, and evenings especially so. Most cruises pick up from around 6pm onward, so an earlier or morning proposal is a good way to avoid the crowds.
Which canal locations should we avoid for a proposal?
Some highly trafficked, busy areas, like the Seven Bridges stretch, can get congested with boats stopping for photos. We can guide you toward more secluded spots, away from the busiest moments.
Can we do a romantic setup on the pier as well as the boat?
Yes, this is available through our extended or more luxurious package option, where our team prepares a full setup with flowers, “Marry Me” letters and lighting at the pier. As you approach on the boat, your partner won’t see it until the very last moment, when everything is revealed. Reach out to us for details on this option.
Is an open bar included in the package?
It depends on which package you choose. You can check the booking form to see exactly what’s included.
Is the boat big enough to kneel for the proposal?
Yes. Our smaller, cozier boats work beautifully for proposals too. If you’d like extra room to move, a more spacious boat is available as an upgrade. Check the booking form for availability, or reach out and we’ll walk you through all the boat options.
How will I know when it's the right moment to propose on the boat?
We agree on a specific cue with you beforehand, something like the crew member mentioning “there’s a special spot everyone comes to” at the pre-planned location. That’s your signal that it’s time.
Is the boat weatherproof?
Yes, we specifically handpick boats suited for proposals that have both indoor and outdoor space, so you’re covered whether it’s sunny or not. If the forecast looks stable and clear, a fully open boat is also an option, just reach out and we’ll go through what’s available.
What happens if it starts raining during the proposal?
Since our boats have indoor space as well as outdoor, a bit of rain doesn’t have to derail the plan. We also keep an eye on the weather while planning your proposal, and if conditions genuinely look bad, we’ll suggest an alternative option ahead of time.
Can I add a videographer to the boat proposal?
Yes, a personal video isn’t part of the base package, but you can add it directly in the booking form, where all available extras and pricing are listed. You can choose between a professional, cinematic-style video or a more casual content-creation style, filmed for social media.
Can we bring guests on the boat proposal?
Yes, you can bring guests. How many depends on the specific boat and package you choose. Use the people counter in the booking form to select how many will be attending. Whether there’s an additional cost per guest also depends on the package. You’ll see this in the booking form.
How many people can the boat hold?
This depends on which boat you choose. Our standard cozy boat holds fewer people, while the more spacious boat upgrade allows for a larger group. Reach out and we’ll send you the full list of available boats and their capacities.
Can we choose which canal or route the boat takes?
Yes, you can choose the route or canal you’d like to cruise along. We’ll work with you to plan something that fits the atmosphere you’re going for, and if it helps, we can send you photos of what specific spots look like.
Is champagne included, or is it an add-on?
Check the booking form to see whether champagne is included or available as an add-on for your chosen package. If you have any specific drink requests, just let us know upfront so we can arrange it.
Is non-alcoholic champagne available?
Yes, that’s definitely possible, just let us know upfront so we can arrange it for you.
Will the boat crew know about the surprise?
Yes, everything is coordinated with our team in advance, including the captain, so everyone involved knows exactly when and how to help the moment come together.
Can the boat proposal continue into a photoshoot afterward?
Yes, once the proposal happens, we continue with a romantic engagement photoshoot to celebrate the moment, capturing you both as a newly engaged couple. If time allows, we can also step onto a nearby pier or take a short walk for a few more relaxed photos.
What add-ons pair well with the boat proposal?
A flower bouquet and a romantic dinner on board afterward are popular additions to this package, especially when paired with extended cruising time so the evening doesn’t feel rushed. A romantic photoshoot on the pier afterward is another popular pairing. We can help you choose a combination that fits the kind of evening you have in mind.
How long does the boat proposal cruise last?
Base packages typically include one to one and a half hours on the water. The exact duration is listed in each package’s description. If you’d like more time, extending the cruise is available as an add-on in the booking form.
Where does the boat depart from, and can we choose the pickup location?
Departure points depend on the boat and package you choose. Check the booking form for the exact location. If you’d like to explore a different pickup point, reach out and we’ll see what’s possible.
