B.V. Algemene Amsterdamse Rederij Noord-Zuid
B.V. Algemene Amsterdamse Rederij Noord-Zuid is a private limited company (besloten vennootschap) registered with the Netherlands Chamber of Commerce (KvK) under number 33164380. According to Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF) records, the current legal entity was registered on 11 September 1984, and it is recorded as active. Its registered place of business is Stadhouderskade 30H, 1071 ZD, Amsterdam.
The company operates Amsterdam canal cruises and passenger boat services, trading as Blue Boat Company and Budget Boat. Its registered business activity is described in the Dutch trade register as the operation of tour boats and the organisation of excursions and tourist entertainment on Amsterdam’s inland waterways. The underlying business traces to a canal-boat operation founded in Amsterdam in 1948 as “Rederij Noord-Zuid,” according to the company’s own website; the Van Gent family took over its operations in 1981 and rebranded it as Blue Boat Company in 2005, expanding the fleet after acquiring a competing canal-cruise operator, Amsterdam Canal Cruises, in 2007. Amsterdam Canal Cruises now operates as a trading name of B.V. Algemene Amsterdamse Rederij Noord-Zuid rather than as a separate legal entity, according to its own published terms and conditions.
B.V. Algemene Amsterdamse Rederij Noord-Zuid’s shares are not listed on any stock exchange. The company’s website states that it operates a fleet of around 15 boats, most electric, and describes a workforce of about 102 people and around 750,000 passengers a year, as retrieved in September 2026; these figures are self-reported by the company rather than confirmed by an official filing. No independently verified consolidated or company-level revenue figures were located.

Shareholders
Shareholders of B.V. Algemene Amsterdamse Rederij Noord-Zuid
No shareholder register or ownership filing for B.V. Algemene Amsterdamse Rederij Noord-Zuid was found through publicly searchable sources. The Dutch Chamber of Commerce (KvK) records company extracts, including shareholder information for private limited companies, but full extracts showing shareholder names, share classes and holding percentages are only available for a fee rather than displayed in free public search results. Third-party business directories reviewed for this profile (bedrijvenregister.nl, retrieved September 2026) confirm that director and shareholder details “require purchase of full extract document” and do not themselves disclose any names or percentages. Because no disclosed shareholder was independently verified, this profile does not report a number of shareholders, individual holdings or share classes for B.V. Algemene Amsterdamse Rederij Noord-Zuid.
Data availability
Classification: Restricted. Shareholder information for this Dutch private limited company exists within the KvK trade register but is not accessible through free public search; the Netherlands’ central UBO register has also been closed to public search since a November 2022 ruling of the Court of Justice of the European Union restricted access to authorities and parties with a legitimate interest. This restriction should not be read as evidence that the company has no shareholders or beneficial owners.

Officers
Directors and officers of B.V. Algemene Amsterdamse Rederij Noord-Zuid
A full, dated list of current and former officers of B.V. Algemene Amsterdamse Rederij Noord-Zuid was not available through free public sources; the Dutch trade register extract that would show formal appointment and resignation dates is only available from KvK for a fee. The company’s own website (blueboat.nl, “About us,” retrieved September 2026) names Vincent Geljon and Daniella van Gent as two of its current directors, describing Blue Boat Company as a family business; the same source recounts that Daniella van Gent’s father took over the underlying canal-cruise operation in the 1980s, consistent with the Van Gent family’s reported 1981 takeover of the predecessor business, Rederij Noord-Zuid. No appointment dates, nationalities, countries of residence or occupations are disclosed for either individual on this source, and no former officers could be independently verified.
Data availability
Classification: Partial. Only current directors named on the company’s own website could be identified; formal KvK appointment dates, resignation history and nationality disclosures were not accessible without a paid official trade-register extract, and nationality is therefore not disclosed in this profile.

Group Structure
Group structure of B.V. Algemene Amsterdamse Rederij Noord-Zuid
No verified parent company or subsidiary of B.V. Algemene Amsterdamse Rederij Noord-Zuid was identified through official filings or authoritative sources reviewed for this profile. The company trades under several names – Blue Boat Company, Budget Boat and, per its own published terms and conditions, Amsterdam Canal Cruises – but these operate as trade names of the single legal entity registered under KvK number 33164380 rather than as separate group companies. The company’s own website states that it acquired a competing Amsterdam canal-cruise operator, also called Amsterdam Canal Cruises, in 2007, expanding its fleet; this appears, based on the entity’s own terms and conditions, to have been absorbed as a trading name into B.V. Algemene Amsterdamse Rederij Noord-Zuid rather than retained as a separate subsidiary, though no official filing confirming the structure of that 2007 transaction was located. On present evidence, B.V. Algemene Amsterdamse Rederij Noord-Zuid should be treated as an independent company.
