Hi, this is your captain speaking. My name is Gus, born in Amsterdam a long time ago. I will be your local tour guide and private captain, but certainly not your history teacher. My private canal tours are non‑scripted — that’s what makes them personal and intimate. I will tell you many interesting stories and facts about my beautiful city, its buildings, and the canal belt. I don’t use any pictures or maps during my tours; we simply look outside and around us. I love answering all your questions. For me, sailing guests around the canals is still just as much fun for you, I hope, as it is for me. Which brings me to my bio: I have been sailing the canals for only a few years. Before that, I ran a trading company in several businesses, mainly dealing in promotional items that you can now buy directly from all over the globe. The market changed, and COVID ended my last business. I found an ad for skippers and, because I already loved boats, I took the chance. I did my training, got the right papers, and started working for several canal cruise companies on different sizes and styles of boats. At the end of 2025, I found the Energie salon boat, built in 1933, with a permit for commercial tours, but in terrible condition. I went to the bank and took the risk of becoming an entrepreneur at my age. I worked for two months, twelve hours a day, and you can soon see the result for yourself — or in one of the photos. Now, with my own salon boat, I can share my passion for Amsterdam and the canals with you while you sit in my cozy floating living room. Hope to see you soon, and welcome aboard. Gus
