Customer case: Group tours in Amsterdam together enjoy an unforgettable tour

A group tour in Amsterdam is a special way to explore the city together. Whether it's a business trip, family day, friend weekend, birthday or staff party: A private canal cruise combines cosiness, relaxation and a unique environment.

At Event on the water We help groups to find a suitable boat, including skipper and any catering, drink arrangements and entertainment.

In this customer case, we show on the basis of a representative practical example how a group tour in Amsterdam can be organised, what possibilities there are and why more and more groups opt for a private tour.

The solution: a private group tour through the Amsterdam canals

For a group of 45 people a spacious salon boat or a suitable passenger ship is an interesting choice.

Event on the Water helps to compare available boats, the desired sailing route and additional arrangements. This allows a group tour to be fully adapted to the company.

A comfortable boat for 45 people

For this example group we choose a comfortable salon boat with enough space to have a drink together and to talk to each other.

Depending on the ship selected, the boat has seats, a toilet, heating and a covered area. For example, the group tour can also continue at variable Dutch.

A tour of famous sights

During a group tour through Amsterdam, participants can admire various historical and characteristic spots from the water.

For example:

The Herengracht: renowned for its monumental canal houses and stately architecture.
The Prinsengracht: one of Amsterdam's most famous canals, with beautiful bridges and historic facades.
The Amstel: an iconic river overlooking extraordinary Amsterdam buildings.
The Skinny Bridge: one of the capital's most photographed bridges.
The Golden Bend: a characteristic part of the Herengracht with impressive canal houses.

The actual route depends on the size of the ship, the sailing time and the current sailing conditions.

 Trustindex verifieert dat de oorspronkelijke bron van de recensie Google is. Gister hebben we via Event op het Water een boot gehuurd voor ons groepsuitje. De boot zelf was prachtig, ontzettend schoon en van alle gemakken voorzien. Onze schipper was niet alleen een professionele bestuurder, maar ook een geweldige gastheer die precies de juiste sfeer wist neer te zetten en ons de mooiste plekjes vanaf het water heeft laten zien.
Dankzij de uitstekende service, de lekkere hapjes en de ontspannen sfeer hebben we een fantastische dag gehad. Absoluut een aanrader voor wie op zoek is naar een zorgeloos en gezellig evenement op het water! We boeken de volgende keer zeker weer.

Group of friends Enjoy Drinks During a Private Slooptrip About The Amsterdam Canals

The arrangement: Drinks, snacks and conviviality on board

A group tour in Amsterdam becomes even more attractive when combined with an appropriate arrangement.

For the example group of 45 people we put together a program of about three hours.

Reception and departure

The participants gather at a pre-arranged boarding location in Amsterdam. As soon as everyone is on board, the crew welcomes the guests and starts the cruise.

Drink during the cruise

During sailing, participants enjoy a drink arrangement with beer, wine and soft drinks. In addition, several snacks can be served.

The informal atmosphere on board makes it easy to talk to colleague ’s and to get to know each other better outside the usual working environment.

Catering on board

Depending on the budget and preferences, the group tour can be extended to include:

Luxury drinks boards and hot snacks.
An extensive BBQ aboard.
Lunch or dinner buffet.
A walking dinner.
Vegetarian, vegan or halal catering options.
A festive dessert.

Event on the Water helps to select an arrangement that matches the wishes and available budget.

Group tours Amsterdam for small and large groups

Not every group tour is the same. A company of 12 people has different wishes than a company party with 150 participants.

That is why different types of boats are available in Amsterdam.

Small groups: 10 to 25 people

For smaller companies, a private boat is an attractive option. Ideal for a birthday party, bachelor party, holiday friends or family.

In good weather an open boat can offer a cozy and relaxing setting.

Medium groups: 25 to 70 persons

For medium-sized groups, salon boats are particularly suitable. These boats combine comfort with an attractive look and offer opportunities for catering and beverage arrangements.

This type of boat is often chosen for company trips, family days and staff drinks.

Large groups: 70 to 250 persons

For larger groups, passenger ships and event ships are an interesting option. These usually offer more room for manoeuvre and more extensive facilities for events.

Very large groups: 250 to 700 persons

There are also opportunities on the water in Amsterdam for large-scale events. Think of corporate parties, anniversary celebrations, relationship events and staff meetings.

The maximum capacity and possibilities depend on the specific ship and the desired arrangement.

Why choose a private group tour in Amsterdam?

A private group tour offers several advantages over a regular tour with separate tickets.

1. Exclusivity for the own group
The boat is reserved exclusively for its own company. This creates a personal atmosphere and the group does not have to share the space with unknown guests.

2. Flexibility in the programme
The sailing time, catering, take-off location and the entertainment can be tailored to the group's needs based on the available possibilities.

3. Suitable for various occasions
A group tour in Amsterdam is suitable for business and private meetings, from a relaxed family day to an extensive corporate party.

4. Discover Amsterdam from the water
The historic canals, characteristic bridges and extraordinary architecture make a tour a unique experience.

5. All arranged
By aligning the boat, skipper, catering and any additional services, the organisation becomes much easier for the client.

The result: a completely organized group outing

In the practical example described, one main objective is: Bringing together 45 colleagues during a relaxed and well organized event.

By combining a suitable salon boat with a three-hour tour, a drink arrangement and catering, a program is created that focuses on meeting and cosiness.

The entire company stays together during the event.
Participants do not need to organise their own transport between different activities.
Catering and drinks are provided during the tour.
The environment offers plenty of conversation and a special experience.
The program can be tailored to the group size and available budget.

This shows why a group tour over the Amsterdam canals is an attractive choice for organizers who are looking for an original and practical group holiday.
