What do guests say about us?
Our customers
The classic saloon boat on the Meuse
A saloon boat is a classically built boat with a wooden saloon, windows all around and heating on board. The Rotterdam fleet of Event op het Water consists of larger boats than those in Amsterdam or Utrecht, because the Maas and the harbor are wide and busy. Open sloops do not sail there. The small saloon boat is therefore the most intimate boat in the Rotterdam offer.
While the barge and the passenger ship revolve around volume, the saloon boat revolves around atmosphere. A company of fifteen people sits in the salon close to each other, with a view of the water on both sides. That works better at a dinner, a board meeting or a birthday than a half-filled big boat.

& # 8220; We have had a very nice baby shower with my family and friends. As a pregnant woman have sailed through the canals of Amsterdam. Luckily we had wonderful weather and the baby shower decoration was beautiful. We really enjoyed the delicious freshly prepared BBQ and delicious chilled drinks.
