What is a saloon boat?
A saloon boat is a boat with a fixed roof, windows all around and a heated interior. The salon offers space for tables and sofas, so that the company is dry and warm in rain, wind and Frost. In good weather, the outer deck opens. A saloon boat sails with it all year round, while an open sloop is especially attractive in season.
Utrecht is on two levels. The yard cellars are located directly on the water, the street is one floor higher. From the salon you look straight at the cellars, the terraces and the bridges, instead of at a quay. You will not find that sailing experience anywhere else in the Netherlands.
