Sitting here at the dining table every day, I get to see every tour boat that comes by to Gassan Diamonds. I probably should be recording times, but I really don’t care that much.
What I see, well that’s changing every day (as the weather improves). But I do have a good sense of the tour companies in play.
Lovers
This is the big company. They have many boats with different colors and ads.
Hop On/Off
These are the most frequent. There names change daily, but I’ve seen the boats named:
- BZN 1
- BZN 2
- BZN 3
- BZN 4
- Aimée
- Pierre Janssen
POL (Plain Old Lovers)
I’ve only seen two of these so far. But so infrequently, their names escape me (other than the Jannes Lovers pictured).
Ads
We have the Keukenhof Tulips
The Artis Zoo
The Hard Rock Cafe
Rederij Lovers
Not sure if this is owned by the same people or a competitor
American Canal Cruises
The two most frequent boats are the Amstel-Jade and Amstel-Aquamarijn, with occasional visits from the Amstel-Robijn and the Amstel-Diamant.
