Why a vrijmibo on a boat feels different than a drink in the office
A speed gives the meeting a different setting, while you are together with your own colleagues. You don't have to plan a full program to make it a special team moment. Being on board together and catching up can already form the core of the drink. The experience depends on what suits your group.
One vrijmibo drinks at the end of the working week. On a private boat, that drink gets a place outside the usual workspace, with your company as a private group. Colleagues may have different expectations: one wants to catch up calmly, while the other is looking forward to a festive moment. By discussing these preferences in advance, you choose an interpretation that better suits the team.
For which groups is a private cruise suitable?
A private cruise can fit in with an informal team moment or a business drink where colleagues gather outside the office. The boat is for your own company, so you do not share the meeting with unknown participants. That private character makes it easier to adjust the atmosphere to the group. Ask colleagues in advance what they think is important. Do they mostly want to talk, have a drink or celebrate something together? Those answers help in choosing an arrangement.
What makes the organization relaxed?
A professional skipper takes care of the sailing. Event op het Water offers private cruises with skipper, so that the organizer does not have to steer himself and can focus on the group. Your preparation remains important, but the division of tasks is clear: you map out the wishes and discuss the implementation, the skipper takes care of the sailing.
You can discuss Catering as part of the package. There are different catering options, but the exact possibilities may vary per package. Tell us what suits your drink and ask what options are available for the desired boat. This way you avoid assumptions about snacks or drinks and adjust the choice to the group.
A drink at the office and a private cruise have a different setting, but the wishes of the group remain the best starting point. First, decide how colleagues want to fill the time together. Then discuss the boat, the package and possible catering. This way you not only organize a drink on the water, but also a meeting that suits your team.
Which boat and drink atmosphere suit your vrijmibo?
The boat helps to shape the atmosphere of your drink. Therefore, look not only at the group size, but also at how colleagues like to get together. Do you want to sit close to each other and catch up, or are you looking for more space? Use those preferences to discuss a boat type and arrangement. The exact options depend on the chosen arrangement and the current availability.
| Boat type | Appropriate atmosphere | Focus | Catering demand |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sloop | An intimate, informal setup where the group sits close together. | Discuss whether the layout suits your company. | What drinks are available for this boat? |
| Drinks boat | A setting in which drinks and catch-up are central. | Ask what amenities are included in the package. | What snacks or drinks can you discuss with the package? |
| Bigger boat | An option to discuss if you are looking for more space. | Have the appropriate layout and capacity confirmed. | Which catering suits this boat and your wishes? |
Sloop or larger boat: what suits your group?
A sloop can fit a smaller, more intimate setup in which colleagues can easily talk to each other. If you are looking for more space, discuss which larger boats are available and how the group can meet on board. A drink boat is worth considering if drinking together is central. Communicate the group size and atmosphere requirements and let the provider indicate which boat and layout are appropriate. Do not assume a capacity until it is confirmed.
The environment can also contribute to the experience. If the discussed route leads past a protected historical area, you can read more about the significance of a UNESCO World Heritage site in advance.

How to choose a suitable vrijmibo package step by step
A suitable arrangement starts with the wishes of the group, not with the choice of a boat. First, gather what colleagues consider important. Then you can discuss more specifically which atmosphere, boat and catering fit in. This prevents choices based on assumptions and makes your application clearer.
- 1. Determine the occasion. Is it an informal end to the working week, a team moment or a business drink? The goal helps determine which atmosphere is appropriate.
- 2. Map out the group wishes. Ask colleagues if they especially want to catch up, have an extensive drink or also want to eat something. Write down dietary requirements and other points of attention.
- 3. Choose the desired atmosphere. Discuss whether you are looking for a quiet, intimate meeting or a more lively get-together. Use those preferences to discuss a boat type and arrangement.
- 4. Agree on catering wishes. Think about whether snacks and drinks are desired and ask what options are available with the package. Catering is discussed as part of a package, not as a separate service.
- 5. Choose a preferred date and alternatives. Keep the preferred date handy and note any other dates that may work for the group. Availability must be confirmed with the application.
What wishes do you discuss with colleagues first?
Keep the inventory short and practical. For example, ask if the group especially wants drinks or also wants to eat, which atmosphere suits and whether there are dietary requirements. Designate one contact who will collect the responses and make the request. Distinguish between fixed wishes, such as a specific date, and preferences that you can discuss. This way you keep space to find a suitable interpretation together.
What data helps with an application?
Record the desired date and possible alternatives. Indicate the expected group size and describe the desired atmosphere and catering as concretely as possible. Also mention dietary requirements. The provider can then indicate which boat and layout suits the group. Always have the capacity confirmed before making a choice.
For a targeted request, the desired date, the number of participants, the group wishes and a clear description of the catering preferences help. With that information, Event op Vatten can think along with you about the possibilities for VrijMiBo’s on boats in Amsterdam. This way you can turn individual preferences into a clear starting point for a private cruise with a skipper.
Practical preparation for a pleasant drink on board
A good preparation helps to keep the appointments for your drinks clear. Assign one contact person and collect the practical questions that are still open. Think about where the group gets off, what time everyone has to be present and how long the cruise lasts. Have this information confirmed by the provider before sharing it with colleagues.
- Contact: agree on who collects and transmits information on behalf of the group.
- Date: keep the preferred date and any alternatives on hand and ask for current availability.
- Group wishes: write down points of attention that may affect the practical implementation.
- Catering: ask what options are included in the package and discuss dietary requirements.
- Participant information: check what information about getting on and off everyone needs in advance.
Share confirmed appointments with the group in a timely manner. This way, colleagues know where and when they are expected and can ask any questions in good time. Are agreements about bad weather or accessibility important for your company? Then ask specifically about the possibilities for the chosen boat and the package. Don't assume that without confirmation.
How do you keep the vrijmibo informal and inclusive?
A relaxed drink does not have to have a tight schedule. Tell colleagues in advance broadly what to expect and leave room to connect in their own way. For example, participants who know each other less well do not immediately feel obliged to participate in a fixed part. Also ask if there are preferences or dietary wishes to discuss in the choice of arrangement.
What do you agree in advance with the provider?
Ask what catering is available with the chosen package and what information you need to pass on to participants. Have the boarding location, departure time and sailing duration confirmed. Also discuss any concerns about accessibility or bad weather if they are relevant to your group. This way you share practical information based on confirmed agreements.
