Organizing a baby shower in Haarlem on the water
Looking for a special place for a baby shower on the Haarlem canals and the Spaarne? At Event op het Water you are assured of an atmospheric day with the expectant mother and her loved ones. Enjoy the beautiful Haarlem canals together with an extensive high tea, snacks, sweet treats and non-alcoholic bubbles on the boat. A cozy place, away from the hustle and bustle of the city and immersed in the nature of the water. The perfect place to relax during pregnancy.
Where a restaurant, terrace or teahouse in Haarlem is often crowded and full, you have the privacy and tranquility that a baby shower deserves on the luxury sloop. Even a barista café or pancake house cannot offer the unique experience of a sailing high tea along historic quays. Event op het Water also sails for expectant mothers from Hoofddorp, Heemstede and the surrounding area, because the boarding location in Haarlem is easily accessible from the region. The expectant mother really gets the attention she deserves here.
At Event op het Water you always book a private ship with a professional skipper and staff who take care of everything. The minimum group size is 10 people at the baby shower in Haarlem. The formula works for every stage of pregnancy; many mothers opt for the baby shower around week 34 to 36. A perfect place for a relaxing afternoon with the best girlfriends.
View the high tea menu & #8217;s incl. unlimited drinking. In addition to the classic high tea, you can also opt for a breakfast arrangement with pancakes, a lunch with fresh sandwiches or a closing drink with gifts moment for the expectant mother, in which the dad’s are also allowed to join.

Babyshower high tea arrangementen
The most popular type of booking is the baby shower high tea on the water. Event op het Water ensures that everyone is assured of an atmospheric high tea on board the luxury sloop, with all the delicious products you expect and a warm atmosphere that suits this special occasion. Below are the most frequently chosen arrangements.
Extended high tea (popular)
The extended high tea is the most popular baby shower arrangement. On board the luxury sloop is a richly laid table with scones, clotted cream, jams, fresh sandwiches in different flavors, sweet treats and a selection of more than 10 types of tea. Includes alcohol-free bubbles for the expectant mother and real bubbles for the girlfriends. This extensive high tea strives for a true English atmosphere, similar to what you would get at the Cruquius tea house or another high-quality tea house, but with a view of the Spaarne.
Gezellige high tea light
The cozy High tea light is a slightly more compact version, ideal for shorter cruises or smaller groups. Scones with clotted cream and jam, 3 types of sandwiches, coffee, tea and a small sweet assortment. Perfect for a baby shower high tea of 1.5 to 2 hours, where everything is right but the taste buds are not overwhelmed. A cozy high tea without crowds, in an intimate space on the water.
Breakfast with pancakes
An alternative arrangement: breakfast with pancakes (or Dutch-style pancakes) for a baby shower in the morning. American pancakes with maple syrup, fresh pancakes, fruit, yogurt and coffee. Ideal for expectant mothers who prefer to celebrate early in the day than ’in the afternoon. An alternative house-style experience that is different from the umpteenth high tea.
Lunch with sandwiches
For those who want something more savory: a lunch with fresh sandwiches, soup, salad and a small dessert. Ideal if the baby shower turns into a lunch occasion with partners or family. Vegan options are also available.
Coffee & cake
The most compact arrangement: coffee, tea and a selection of homemade cakes. Perfect for a short cruise of 1.5 hours where the baby shower does not have to be too extensive. Includes non-alcoholic juices for the expectant mother.
Unlimited drinks on board
At every baby shower in Haarlem, Event op het Water offers an open bar as standard: unlimited coffee, tea, soft drinks, juices and for non-pregnant guests also beer and wine. Alcohol-free bubbles for the expectant mother are included as standard. Enjoy more than 10 types of tea and the most delicious baby shower atmosphere.
Delicious smickling on the Haarlem canals
Enjoy a culinary experience during the baby shower in Haarlem, where delicious dishes and delicacies are served on the sloop with unlimited coffee, tea and non-alcoholic bubbles for the expectant mother. You have the freedom to decide your own route over the Haarlem canals or the Spaarne. In other cities such as Amsterdam, Rotterdam or Utrecht also possible.
Specific wishes about diet or allergies? Pass this in advance. Event op het Water provides a suitable solution, including vegan variants for the high tea. All dishes, sandwiches, scones and pancakes are prepared with care, to complete the baby shower. A high tea where all the taste buds are satisfied.

A baby shower for every expectant mother
At Event op het Water you will find a suitable baby shower on the water for every expectant mother. The arrangement is tailored to the wishes and phase of the pregnancy. For a first pregnancy, girlfriends often choose an elaborate high tea as a surprise. For a second or subsequent pregnancy, a compact intimate party is more popular, with some close girlfriends and the sisters on board.
The baby shower on the water offers something that a restaurant or teahouse cannot offer: movement, views and a unique place that provides precious memories. While the sloop sails along the historic quays, there is plenty of time to unpack gifts, play games and take photos that capture the arrival of the little one. This creates memories that the expectant mother likes to look back on later. Event on the Water ensures that everything runs smoothly.
Each baby shower package can be tailored to your wishes. For a high tea, lunch, breakfast with pancakes or a coffee moment, de luxe sloop offers a unique and atmospheric place in the heart of the city on the Spaarne. Whether you are looking for a special place for an anniversary edition baby shower, a second pregnancy party or just a cozy party: Event op het Water has a suitable place. An anniversary-like celebration of life and the upcoming birth, creating the best memories.
The luxurious open sloop is the best choice for a private baby shower in Haarlem. No hassle with a tea house or busy restaurant, but a private floating house or home on the water where all attention goes to the expectant mother.
