A dinner for two. A team outing with 25 colleagues. A wedding celebration for 66. A funeral with quiet dignity. Thanks to the unique combination of our three boats — from intimate sloop to spacious salon boat — we organise almost any occasion on the water, with a fitting boat for every group. Below are the main categories we offer.

• Business Cruise — For client meetings, team outings, Friday afternoon drinks or a walking dinner with colleagues. You design the programme yourself in our booking tool, while we handle the execution with professional crew and top catering. During the week we sail mostly for businesses — with our expertise, you and your guests will want for nothing.
