I watched a Insta video about the fishing in Amsterdam and decided I needed to go there. I found Juul and liked what he was offering so contacted him on this site. The whole booking process was easy and communication between us was spot on.

I stayed in a boat the night before and Juul picked me up from the boat. The whole day was amazing and I learnt so much, I’m experienced with fishing in the UK but he taught me a few different techniques that I’ll be using at home. The boat and equipment is top notch and as a captain and guide I couldn’t have asked for more.

The fishing was fantastic and I caught not only my first Zander but also a beast of a fish. The perch were great fun and huge compared to what we get in the UK. The days catch was over 20 and I couldn’t have asked for more.

I’d highly recommend a trip with Juul and I’m already checking my dates to arrange my next trip to Amsterdam but to fish for Pike this time.

Juul our guide picked us up from our canal Airbbnb houseboat via his fishing boat which was already an impressive way to start our day. We started our 8 hour day with some information on Amsterdam as we passed through the canal. He was very personable yet professional putting us at ease from the get go. I caught my first Zander just under a bridge in front of the Amstel Hotel. We then headed out to the IJ Bay where we caught more Zander and Perch. He had hot coffee for us and Stroopwafel’s. We then went to his houseboat along the canal to use the toilet and grab his rods that he uses for Pike. We headed out to the lake just off the Bay to try our luck with Pike. Unfortunately they weren’t on that day - so we headed back to the Bay and caught a lot of Zander. He showed us various fishing methods (casting and Jigging). Offering us snacks and drinks along the way. We caught more than 20 Zander and some perch. After 8 hours he dropped us back off at our houseboat. What a great day we had - Juul gave us an experience that we will never forget. Book it and you won’t be disappointed.

I booked a trip with Juul as a surprise birthday treat for my partner. Before booking I was unsure about some things regarding accommodation and travel on the day. Juul gave recommendations and reassurance that made booking my trip 100 times easier. He was happy to answer any questions that popped into my head all the way up until
The morning of the trip. For some
Background my partner is a very experienced fisherman, I on the other hand am
Not. Juul was able to adapt his style to accommodate both our experiences. The whole 8 hours was filled with laughter, chats and history of the city. Juul went above and beyond to make sure our day was the best it could be! I could not recommend him enough, we will defiantly be planning another trip !

My mom and I were visiting Amsterdam from Seattle Wa. I love fishing in new locations and boy did this not disappoint! I think we caught 12-15 fish in 4 hours and had so much fun we called it a day and couldn’t have been happier. The conversation was great and my mom and I learned a lot about the area in the process. 10/10 would do again!

Juul knows his stuff when it comes to fishing these Amsterdam waters! He put me on the fish right away, the action didn’t slow down until it was time to leave! If you are looking for a knowledgeable guide, Juul is your man! Thanks again for an amazing day in the water Captain Juul!
