They didn't show up.
My partner and I booked at 10 at night. We arrived 20 minutes early and no boat appeared. After asking all the tours that were around we gave up at 22:15.

Highly recommend Jack & Ziplora
Jack and Ziplora were excellent hosts, very informative and provide great customer service throughout our boat ride - very knowledgeable. I would recommend this trip.

One-hour boat trip through Amsterdam
Open boat roundabout, boarding directly in front of the Mind Museum, seating, in my opinion, approximately 20. You can buy tickets with drinks, but even without them we were offered a few drinks. The crew are young, pleasant guys: Captain Merlin and guide Tamara, who hand out drinks, told interesting things about Amsterdam in English and were open to conversation and questions.
