Frequently asked questions about booking
events on the Water
How can I book a boat at an event on the Water?
Booking a boat at Event on the Water is easy. Through our website you can request a free quote for a private cruise, company outing, drink boat, BBQ boat or other event on the water. Indicate your desired date, the number of people, the location and any additional wishes. Based on your request, you will receive a suitable proposal with the available options.
How far in advance should I book a boat?
We advise you to book your boat as early as possible, especially during popular periods such as spring, summer, holidays and the Amsterdam Light Festival. For larger groups, corporate parties and weddings, we recommend making an application a few months in advance. Do you want to sail in the short term? Last minute requests are also possible, depending on the availability of our boats.
Is requesting a quote free and without obligation?
Yes, at Event op het Water you can request a quote completely free of charge and without obligation. You are not tied to anything as long as you have not finally confirmed the reservation. This way you can take a look at the possibilities, packages and prices before you make a decision.
When is my reservation final?
Your reservation is final as soon as you have agreed to the offer and the booking has been confirmed by the relevant shipping company. You will then receive a booking confirmation with all important information about your cruise, such as the date, departure time, boarding location, the number of guests and the booked packages.
Can I change my reservation after I have booked?
In many cases it is possible to adjust your reservation. Consider, for example, a change in the number of people, the departure time, the boarding location or the catering arrangement. Whether a change is possible depends on the availability and conditions of the respective shipping company. Therefore, please contact us as soon as possible if you want to change something.
Do I have to pay in advance for my booked boat?
The payment terms differ per shipping company and package. Many reservations require you to pay for the cruise in advance. The exact payment term and any deposit conditions are clearly stated in the quotation or booking confirmation. This way you know in advance where you stand.
Can I book a boat without knowing the final number of people?
Yes, you can submit a non-binding request if the final number of guests is not yet known. Provide an estimated number of people with your application. Based on this, we can recommend a suitable boat. The final number of guests must be communicated before an agreed deadline, depending on the shipping company and the chosen package.
Can I cancel a reservation and get my money back?
Cancellation of a reservation is possible, but the cancellation conditions vary by shipping company. Depending on the time of cancellation, fees may apply. Whether you are entitled to a full or partial refund depends on the conditions applicable to your booking. You will receive these conditions prior to the final reservation.
Can I reserve multiple boats or a large boat for an event?
Yes, Event op het Water offers various possibilities for large groups and corporate events. For example, you can reserve several boats or opt for a large passenger ship or event ship. We provide cruises for small groups, but also events with hundreds of guests. Depending on the location and availability, we look for a suitable solution.
