Imagine the iconic canals of Amsterdam slowly drifting by, the historic facades reflecting in the calm water, as you indulge in exquisite delicacies. This dream becomes a reality with an exclusive High Tea Cruise in Amsterdam, offered on Boatboys’ luxurious private boats. It’s the ultimate combination of cultural immersion and culinary delight, enhanced by the flavorful creations of the renowned bakery De Drie Graefjes, served on authentic Delft Blue tableware. The High Tea Boat can be enjoyed with a vegetarian or regular version. A vegan High Tea cruise is possible upon request.
Boatboys, known for their fleet of beautifully restored saloon boats like the intimate Salonboot Undine, the stately Tzar, and the elegant Ritz, elevate the traditional high tea to an unprecedented level. These private boats provide the perfect setting for a relaxed afternoon on the water, away from the city’s hustle and bustle. Whether you choose the cozy charm of the Undine for a small gathering, or the more spacious Tzar or Ritz for a larger group, each vessel is equipped with comfortable seating, often with both indoor and outdoor areas, allowing you to fully enjoy the changing scenery, regardless of the weather.
The culinary aspect of this special experience comes from De Drie Graefjes, a name synonymous with quality and deliciousness in Amsterdam. This renowned bakery, famous for its American baking traditions and irresistible sweets, has curated a special high tea assortment that perfectly complements the grandeur of the canals.
The menu is a refined selection of both savory and sweet temptations, meticulously prepared and beautifully presented. Expect a range of classic high tea elements, such as:
What makes this high tea cruise extra special is the presentation. All the delights are served on elegant Delfts Blue tableware. This iconic Dutch earthenware, with its characteristic blue and white patterns, adds an authentic Dutch touch to the American-inspired flavors, resulting in a beautiful visual feast. The combination of the traditional canal houses, the stylish private boat, the artisanal delicacies, and the Delfts Blue creates a unique cultural and culinary synergy.
As the city drifts by, you can quietly enjoy the flavors and company, supported by the attentive service of the Boatboys crew. If you prefer to have extra service, we offer the option to add an additional host on board. The extra crew member can also serve as tour guide if desired. Please note if the group is bigger then 6 persons, we always require an additional host to be able to deliver the quality we aim for.
This High Tea Cruise is more than just a meal; it’s a refined experience that seamlessly blends luxury, comfort, and the beauty of Amsterdam. It’s the perfect way to celebrate a special occasion or simply escape the everyday routine and immerse yourself in a world of elegance and indulgence.
