The history of Rederij P. Kooij
A brief history of a 100% Amsterdam family business.
It all started with Piet Kooij; a young Amsterdam entrepreneur who - together with his father - leased the buffets on the ferries that sailed the North sea canal from Amsterdam to IJmuiden. Water, boats and Amsterdam were the three major passions of Piet and he greatly enjoyed his work.
Rederij Kooij today
For more than 100 years, the boats of Rederij Kooij have been sailing through the canals of our city. FC Centrum visited us to see what goes on behind the scenes today.
In this video, we take you along: from setting up the dock to maintaining the boats and sharing the stories behind our family business. Discover how tradition and innovation come together on the water, and how we work every day to offer our passengers an unforgettable experience.
