Looking for an original year-end event for your team? A private boat combines a festive party with a tour past Amsterdam's illuminated canals.
Why a boat makes the perfect Christmas party
Every December, teams across Amsterdam end up in the same busy bars and restaurants. A Christmas party on the water gives your colleagues something they will actually talk about in January: everyone together on board, the city lights outside and a private crew taking care of everything.
Because the boat is yours for the evening, there are no other guests, no fighting for a table and no shouting over the music of the next group. You decide the pace, the music and the route.
Festive drinks cruise: the informal choice
The festive drinks cruise is made for relaxed year-end drinks with colleagues. Guests are welcomed on board, drinks flow and bites are passed around while you sail through the canal belt.
It is ideal for teams that want to mingle, toast the year and get home at a reasonable hour — or continue the evening in the city afterwards.
A seated Christmas dinner
Want to sit down together? The executive dinner cruise offers a multi-course dinner at a beautifully set table. It is the perfect setting for a management team, a client dinner or a smaller department that wants a memorable evening.
Larger teams and complete company outings
Organising for a bigger group? Our company outing and large group packages are designed to scale with your team. We can combine boats so everyone sails together, and help you plan the full evening from welcome to farewell.

Make it your own
Every company is different. Want your own theme, a speech from the CEO, branded details or a specific menu? Use our custom event request and our team will put together a proposal that fits your group and budget.
When to book
December evenings, and especially Thursdays and Fridays, are the first to be booked. We recommend reserving your date as early as possible. Not every guest is free in December? Many teams choose a January New Year's drinks instead — just as festive and often more flexible.
