You're not just looking at windmills. You're floating through the birthplace of the industrial world, a river valley that once powered more machines than anywhere else on earth.
In the 1600s, this single stretch of the Zaan ran over 1,000 windmills supplying the entire world with timber, spices, paint and whale oil. It's the place where the modern world was invented.
During your 25 minute cruise you will see:
All 10 UNESCO windmills of Zaanse Schans, seen from the water closer than any path gets you. The world's earliest industrial cacao and chocolate factories, still standing on the riverbank. The whale hunting facilities that once made this region the oil capital of Europe. Traditional Zaanse Houses and the tea houses where merchants traded goods from across the Dutch empire. And a few surprises your guide has saved for the water.
Your skipper tailors every cruise to the group on board. Everyone leaves knowing something they didn't expect to learn.

5.00Such a fantastic way to view 10 windmills on a 25 minute boat cruise, enjoy an authentic Stroopwaffle and a drink and hear all about the windmills and the UNESCO houses in this picturesque setting. Andre was a perfect guide and we loved every minute. Only 25 minutes by bus or train from Amsterdam central.
Recommended for people who want to know more about the usefulness / operation of the mills

5.00Very good explanation from guide Dirk. Stays still with boat for sight where he can give a somewhat larger explanation. Because of the different nationalities, the explanation was in English. People are waiting for visitors who want to sail last minute.
Wonderful Boat tour Zaanschaans

4.00We loved this boat trip and the warm welcome from Anna and the interesting tour commentary by Kevin. Unfortunately the bottle of cava we reserved with the booking for a birthday celebration was not available so we had rosé instead which was a bit of a shame, but the staff couldn’t have been any friendlier and we really enjoyed the boat trip. We were blessed with sunshine and it was a beautiful way to enjoy the windmills of Zaandam from the water and learn a bit about the history of this stunning place.

5.00Yesterday we took Andre for a spin. Friendly man who explained everything nicely and clearly. Boat was beautiful. The length of the trip is just right, not too short or too long. Good value for money!
Definitely do this

5.00The tour was in English with George a nice guide from the region. The tour takes about 30 minutes as described. It smells like cocoa everywhere, which is really a great smell on the nose. However, it was very crowded, so I would always recommend a reservation of the boat tour.
Beautiful tour of Zaanse Schans Windmills
