Rent a boat in Amsterdam for 30 to 40 guests
With a group of 30 to 40 guests you are too large for a standard open boat, but not yet in the large events category. Exactly the group size where our mid-sized salon boats come into their own: enough room for everyone, intimate enough to talk to each other. Company outings where colleagues truly connect, birthdays with all friends on board, or drinks that nobody will forget.
Our boats run 100% electric on green energy. No noise, no exhaust fumes. As you sail along the canals, you only hear conversations, laughter and the water against the hull.
Spacious yet intimate
For 30 to 40 guests we recommend the Dyos (40 guests), the HRH (36 guests) or the Ondine (30 guests). Each of these boats offers a spacious salon with enough freedom of movement for drinks, a buffet or a presentation. All boats can sail open or closed, are equipped with heating and a toilet, and sail comfortably all year round.

How does your trip on a salon boat work?
1 - Gathering at the quay
Your guests arrive at the agreed boarding location. The skipper and any crew are ready to welcome everyone. With a group of this size, boarding is done within a few minutes.
2 - Welcome drink on board
As soon as everyone is inside, the first drinks are handed out. A toast, a welcome speech or straight to the music. The boat is still at the quay, so latecomers can join.
3 - Departure and first impressions
The boat leaves the quay and glides into the canals. The first reactions to the view, the first photos being taken. With a group of 30 to 40 guests, a lively atmosphere develops right away.
4 - Drinks, buffet or activity
This is the moment your event comes to life. Snacks being served, a buffet being opened or an activity kicking off. The boat provides the space and facilities to support this.
5 - Sailing through the city
While the programme runs, the boat sails through different parts of Amsterdam. From the historic canal belt to the modern architecture along the IJ. The changing views provide natural conversation starters.
6 - Arrival and farewell
The boat moors at the agreed location. Your guests leave the boat with memories of an outing that was different. More personal, more exclusive, more Amsterdam.
