The best electric boat for the Amsterdam canals
Immerse yourself in the heart of exciting Amsterdam and be transported to the soothing rhythm of Dutch slow life aboard the Delphia 10 Lounge. Forget the hustle and bustle of land and let yourself be lulled by a calm and peaceful cruise along the city's emblematic canals.
The Delphia 10 Lounge offers much more than just navigation. It’s an invitation to fully savor every moment of your day, while being surrounded by Amsterdam’s rich history and cultural scene. Embark on an immersive experience that reveals another side of Netherlands’ capital city.
Explore one of Europe's most sustainable destinations from a completely different perspective, where tranquility and authenticity blend perfectly with the excitement of city life. The latest Delphia has been specially designed to integrate harmoniously into the heart of cities, opening the doors to a premium and unforgettable urban getaway.
A cruise through the canals of Amsterdam
Since their construction in the 17th century, Amsterdam's canals have been among the most famous cityscapes in the world. On board the Delphia 10 Lounge, enjoy the opportunity to discover in detail this UNESCO World Heritage List. Our yacht will let you navigate under the majority of bridges, even the lowest including the maximum height is 2.50 meters. Ideal for observing the architecture, exploring the canals and passing under the small stone bridges that make the city so charming.
With its modern and slender line designed by the Vripack firm, the Delphia 10 Lounge has autonomy allowing you to visit the city peacefully during the day. The Dutch capital has set itself the objective of banning thermal ships by 2025 and is strengthening its supply of electrical outlets on the docks. This allows you to plan an itinerary with several stops in the city with peace of mind.
At Delphia, culture punctuates our daily lives and as we love navigating Amsterdam, here is a list of tips specially created for you:
- We all fell under the spell of the EYE Film Institute where we can dock easily thanks to the pontoon at the bottom of the museum.
- Head to the center of Amsterdam and explore the canals
- Take a cultural break at Museumplein
- Enjoy stunning views from the canals of the National Opera & Ballet
- Join the Marie restaurant via the Amstel canal. Please note, you cannot access the Kloveniersburgwal canal from the Marie restaurant, the bridge being below 2.50 meters.
- Stroll around Dam Square and discover the Royal Palace and the Nieuwe Kerke
- For history buffs, the Anne Frank House is a must-see
- Spend the night at the Amsterdam Marina among the swans. Little extra: the marina has a central restaurant with beautiful terraces. Please note, the restaurant closes early.
Sharing good times on the best family boat
A significant asset, the Delphia 10 Lounge can accommodate up to twelve people thanks to its unobstructed L-shaped layout. Privileged moments together await you in the heart of the city with a view of Dutch houses or the latest projects in the Overhoeks district.
Thanks to the two refrigerators in our Delphia's outdoor kitchen, every moment of everyday life will be the right opportunity to share a cold drink or a meal made from local products.
Back on the quays, continue your evening by going to one of the addresses run by The Loetje, try the fast-food experience with FEBO or taste Van Dobben's croquettes. For a drink, the Wijnand Fockink distillery, the Brouwerij 't IJ brewery, the Ice Bar or even the Café 't Papeneiland will be very good places to feel the Amsterdam atmosphere.
And for an exceptional encounter, the Amstel Hotel or the Rosewood Amsterdam located in the old courthouse are among our best starred addresses.
Slow life aboard the Delphia 10 Lounge
After these moments spent outside, enjoy a pleasant life on board in connection with the city by enjoying the main cabin of the Delphia 10 Lounge. Bathed in light, it has a Queen size bed, a full bathroom and large portholes located at water level for unparalleled moments of relaxation.
For lovers of disconnected teleworking, the beautiful space offered by the guest cabin can be converted into an office when choosing the options on board. The privileged view of the Prinsengracht canal will certainly inspire or soothe you... And if you ever need to meet up with your partners, the splendid Prinsengracht Hospital coworking is just a stone's throw away.
We recommend you to explore the city by bike to visit the museums not accessible by boat. The Delphia 10 Lounge offers the possibility of storing and charging up to 3 electric bikes safely on its rear platform. A detail that makes all the difference when you know that the bike is king in Amsterdam. More than 760 kilometers of cycle paths await you there!
Innovation at the heart of navigation
With its Torqeedo electric motor, the Delphia 10 Lounge emits no emissions, no noise and no odor. This 100% electric propulsion creates a relaxed and peaceful atmosphere on board surrounded by swans and moorhens.
The boat glides silently through the canals, over the waters of Lake IJ as well as along sheltered coastal areas. A gentle experience that allows you to get as close as possible to local wildlife and navigate in the heart of nature while respecting the tranquility of the place. Fabulous moments spent outside the city are yours before returning to the magnetic charm of Amsterdam.
