Who can say after Seaport Days that they have piloted a tour boat. You, if you buy a ticket for a free introductory lesson and get behind the steering wheel under the guidance of an instructor.
Now is the time to find out if helmsman on a canal boat is for you. There is a huge shortage of skippers, so Seaport Days and Boating Fun are joining forces to find recruits.
Diploma
Especially for the canal cruising industry in the Netherlands, there is the Canal Skippers Diploma. After a thorough (part-time) training of 6 to 8 months you can work independently as skipper of a canal boat in Amsterdam or one of the other Dutch cities. During an introductory trip in the IJhaven you might get a taste for it. Vaarplezier will then tell you which steps to take.
Times
Per cruise, 8 people in addition to the instructor are allowed on board for an introductory lesson. The canal boat is moored at one of the jetties at the Javakade. Check in at the Passenger Terminal Amsterdam. Departures 11:00 a.m., 12:15 p.m., 1:30 p.m. and 2:45 p.m. on canal boat I are now fully booked. Tour boat II has been added to the program, so there are places again. The departure times for this vessel are: 11:30, 12.45, 2 p.m. and 3:15 p.m.
