When you want to rent a canal boat for companies, you get much more than just a boat. A professional business boat trip in Amsterdam includes as standard a qualified skipper, a hospitable hostess, an audio installation, and all safety equipment. Additionally, you can choose from extensive catering options and flexible boarding locations throughout Amsterdam.
What do you get as standard with a business boat trip in Amsterdam?
With business boat rental in Amsterdam, basic facilities are always included in the price. You get an experienced skipper who knows the Amsterdam canals perfectly, a professional hostess who takes care of you, a quality audio installation for presentations or background music, and all mandatory safety equipment on board.
The skipper not only ensures a safe voyage but also shares interesting stories about Amsterdam during your trip. The hostess helps with catering, ensures everyone feels welcome, and can assist with business presentations. You can use the sound system for speeches, presentations, or simply for pleasant background music.
All boats comply with official safety requirements, with life jackets, first aid equipment, and communication devices. You don’t need to worry about technical matters and can fully focus on your business objectives during the company outing by boat in Amsterdam.
What catering options are available during your company outing on the water?
The catering possibilities for a business boat trip are very extensive. You can choose from simple drinks arrangements with snacks and beverages, lunch packages for afternoon cruises, or complete dinner arrangements with multiple courses. All menus can be adapted to the dietary requirements and allergies of your guests.
Popular options are the drinks cruise with local cheeses, cold cuts, and warm appetizers, the lunch cruise with fresh salads and sandwiches, or the dinner cruise with a fully catered dinner. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options are always possible. Special requests, such as halal or kosher catering, can also be arranged.
The catering is freshly prepared and professionally served by the hostess. Beverages can range from coffee and tea to beer, wine, and cocktails. For longer cruises, coffee breaks and snacks are also possible, allowing you to perfectly coordinate your program.
How flexible are the boarding and disembarking locations for business groups?
Amsterdam offers more than 120 different boarding and disembarking locations for corporate boat rental. You can board at well-known locations such as Central Station, the Jordaan, and Museum Square, or choose less busy places that are more convenient for your group. Boarding directly at your hotel or office is often possible as well.
The choice of location depends on various factors: where your guests come from, what the purpose of the cruise is, and how large your group is. For international guests, central locations such as the Rijksmuseum or the Anne Frank House are convenient. For team-building events, you can choose quieter places in Amsterdam-Noord.
When planning, accessibility by public transport, parking facilities, and accessibility for people with disabilities are taken into account. Some locations also have facilities such as restrooms or waiting areas, which is convenient when your group needs to gather.
What additional services make your business boat trip complete?
In addition to the standard canal boat arrangement, you can choose from various additional services. Audiovisual equipment for presentations, boat decoration in your corporate style, live entertainment such as a pianist or saxophonist, and special themed cruises make your event unique and memorable.
For business presentations, there are canal boats with projectors, screens, and microphones available. The boat can be decorated with your logo, company colors, or theme. Think of balloons, flowers, banners, or even complete styling for product launches or anniversary celebrations.
Entertainment options range from background music to live performances. A jazz trio during a business reception, a DJ for a team party, or a guide who tells interesting stories about Amsterdam. Activities such as a quiz about Amsterdam or team-building games on board are also possible.
