The Bulldog Boat

The Bulldog Boat is a canal cruise operation in Amsterdam run by The Bulldog, the city's long-established coffeeshop and entertainment brand that has been part of Amsterdam's culture since the 1970s. The cruise departs along the city's UNESCO-listed canal ring, offering passengers views of the Golden Age merchant houses, narrow bridges, and historic waterways that define Amsterdam's distinctive urban character.

The current programme includes a one-hour smoke-friendly cruise aboard a semi-open boat, with two drinks included. The semi-open design means passengers experience the canals directly, with the sights and sounds of the water rather than the filtered view of an enclosed vessel. As an extension of The Bulldog brand, the experience reflects the relaxed, permissive atmosphere Amsterdam is internationally known for, making it a natural fit for visitors who want to see the canal ring from the water in an informal setting.
