Rent a boat in Amsterdam for 15 to 20 guests
A group of 15 to 20 guests is the ideal size for a boat trip through Amsterdam. Large enough for a festive atmosphere, small enough to talk to everyone. Whether it is a team outing, a birthday or an afternoon with friends: on a salon boat everyone comes together without it feeling impersonal.
Our boats run 100% electric on green energy. No engine noise, no exhaust fumes, just the sound of lapping water and the conversations on board. As Amsterdam slowly passes by, there is naturally room for a good conversation.
Sociable and manageable
A group of this size fits perfectly on our smaller and mid-sized salon boats. The Ondine seats 30 guests, the HRH 36. That means with 15 to 20 guests you have plenty of room, with enough space to move around, sit or stand on deck. All boats can sail open or closed, are equipped with heating and a toilet, and operate all year round.
Everything arranged, you enjoy
At Rent a Boat Amsterdam, both business and private clients are fully taken care of. Let us know how many guests you expect, what kind of atmosphere you are looking for and whether you want drinks, dinner or a BBQ. We arrange the boat, the catering, the route and any extras. No loose ends, no surprises.
Rent a Boat Amsterdam is a partnership of the most prominent boat companies in the city. You book directly at the source, without intermediaries. We always sail, on time, well organised and without exception.

Featured options
Dinner on a salon boat
With 15 to 20 guests a seated dinner fits perfectly. Tables are set, courses are served and you enjoy an evening where food and sailing come together. Suitable for birthdays, anniversaries or a special evening with friends.
Drinks on a salon boat
Snacks, drinks and good company in a historic setting. The salon offers room to stand, sit and walk around. Ideal for a Friday afternoon drink or informal networking event.
Team outing on the water
A boat trip with colleagues is an original way to get together outside the office. Combine with drinks, a quiz or a workshop and make it an afternoon or evening that sticks.
How does a boat trip with 15-20 guests work?
1 - Boarding
At the boarding location the skipper is waiting for you. The salon boat is ready, the salon is set up for your occasion. Step aboard and immediately feel the atmosphere of the historic vessel.
2 - Gathering at the quay
Your guests gather at the agreed boarding location. With a group of 15 to 20 guests, everyone is on board quickly. The skipper welcomes you and points out the facilities.
3 - Welcome drink
As soon as everyone is seated or standing, the first drinks are poured. A prosecco, a beer or something non-alcoholic: the moment the boat trip officially begins and the first toast is raised.
4 - Highlight on board
This is the moment the programme comes to life. Drinks with snacks, a multi-course dinner or a quiz among colleagues. The boat provides the space and calm to make this happen without outside distractions.
5 - Enjoying Amsterdam
While the programme runs, the boat sails past the most beautiful spots in the city. The narrow canals of the Jordaan, the stately mansions along the Herengracht, the bridges that light up as darkness falls.
6 - Back on shore
The boat moors at the agreed location. Your guests leave the boat with memories of an afternoon or evening that was different from a restaurant or function room. More personal, more intimate, more Amsterdam.
Frequently asked questions
For a group of 15 to 20 guests we recommend the Ondine (up to 30 guests) or the HRH (up to 36 guests). These boats offer enough space without feeling too large. For a more intimate setting with a maximum of 12 guests, the Marie Zurlohe and Roerdomp are available.
Absolutely. A seated dinner on board can be organised well for 20 guests. The Ondine seats 14 guests, the HRH also 14. For larger seated groups, the Dyos (21 seated) or Watertoerist (16 seated) are suitable.
The price depends on the chosen boat, the duration of the trip and the catering. Drinks on board start from €25 per person, dinner from €45 per person. Request a no-obligation quote for a tailored price.
All boats can sail open or closed and are equipped with heating. In rain the skipper closes the roof and everyone stays dry and warm. In good weather you enjoy the open roof. We sail all year round, regardless of the weather.
