Silent disco on the Amsterdam Canals

Make your private canal cruise in Amsterdam unforgettable with our silent disco experience. As you cruise through the beautiful canals, you can dance and enjoy music via wireless headphones, without disturbing the peaceful surroundings. It’s perfect for parties, team-building events, or just a unique evening with friends!

How much does a silent disco cost?

A silent disco costs just €7 per person extra when you book a private boat with a skipper. This small fee adds a unique and fun element to your canal cruise.

Available only with a private boat and skipper

The silent disco is available exclusively on our larger boats with a skipper, which can accommodate up to 30 people per boat. This makes it the perfect choice for larger groups looking for a festive and unique experience in Amsterdam. This activity is not available when renting a boat for self-sailing.
