A Timeless Classic on Amsterdam’s Canals

Griffioen

Step aboard Griffioen, a beautifully restored classic passenger boat built in 1909. Originally launched in Hamburg, she once sailed the rivers and lakes of Switzerland before finding her way to Amsterdam’s historic canals. After carefully removing a later “modern” structure in 2002, we restored her to her authentic, elegant appearance — blending classic charm with modern comfort.

Today, Griffioen offers an intimate and stylish setting for every special occasion. Whether you’re planning a romantic dinner, a cozy gathering with friends, or even a unique marriage proposal, this vessel provides a truly unforgettable backdrop.
