What do guests say about us?
Our customers
Which boat sails in Haarlem?
Event op het Water works in Haarlem exclusively with luxury open sloops. Those sloops SAIL open in good weather and closed in rain, because the roof slides shut and the heating turns on. This way you keep the comfort of a salon cruise, even in autumn.
A classic saloon boat with wooden interior and panoramic roof sails at Event on the water in Amsterdam. For that, see the sailing in Amsterdam. For a cruise in Haarlem itself, the covered luxury sloop is the right choice.
These points determine the difference:
- Canopy: the sloop sails covered and heated, just like a saloon, but opens completely in the sun.
- Toilet: the larger sloops in Haarlem have a toilet on board.
- Capacity: one sloop carries 10 to 70 people, coupled sloops up to 200 people.
- Sailing area: the sloop fits under the low bridges of the Bakenessergracht, where larger ships are stranded.
- Duration: a cruise starts from 1.5 hours, instead of the 2.5 hours that a saloon boat requires.
