Family & Friends

For every occasion, or no occasion at all

A family weekend with grandparents and grandchildren. A group of friends who see each other once a year. A birthday, an anniversary, a farewell for someone who is moving, or simply a beautiful summer's day with loved ones — our three boats lend themselves to anything that gives a good reason to come together.

High-quality catering

For every occasion we have the right catering — provided by renowned Amsterdam partners. A high tea from De Drie Graefjes for a birthday, oysters and sharing boards for a long afternoon, pizza for a relaxed cruise, or a seated dinner with chef on board for those wanting to make a real evening of it. On board we serve fine wines, delicious cocktails from our own bar, and we carry the most extensive champagne list of any Amsterdam boat company — all from beautiful glassware.

Atmosphere and entertainment

For a more festive touch, we book a DJ, singer, accordionist or live musician on board — fitting the occasion and the group. For decoration, balloons, flowers or personalised details are possible. We are happy to think along about what suits, based on your cruise and your group.

Boarding and disembarking wherever suits you

We pick you up at virtually any official boarding pier in Amsterdam — close to home, a restaurant or a hotel where your guests are staying. An overview can be found on our Boarding locations page.
