Wat is het verschil tussen grachten van Amsterdam en het IJ van Amsterdam
Het belangrijkste verschil tussen varen door de Amsterdamse grachten and varen over het IJ zit in het vaargebied, het type boot en de groepsgrootte.
- Amsterdamse grachten: je vaart door het historische centrum, langs grachtenpanden, bruggen en bekende bezienswaardigheden. Dit is vooral geschikt voor sloepen en salonboten en voor kleinere tot middelgrote groepen. De sfeer is intiemer en je zit echt midden in de stad.
- The IJ: is veel breder en ruimer vaarwater aan de noordkant van het centrum. Hier kunnen ook grote passagiers- en evenementenschepen varen. Daardoor is het IJ geschikter voor grote bedrijfsfeesten, personeelsfeesten, diners en evenementen met veel gasten.
- Route: op het IJ vaar je langs een moderner deel van Amsterdam, met onder andere Amsterdam-Noord en de skyline rondom het IJ. Vanuit het IJ kunnen sommige boten ook andere vaargebieden bereiken, afhankelijk van het schip en de gekozen route.
- Capacity: op de grachten zijn de mogelijkheden beperkter door de afmetingen van bruggen en grachten. Op het IJ zijn aanzienlijk grotere schepen mogelijk, waardoor groepen van honderden personen kunnen worden ontvangen.
Kort gezegd: de grachten kies je voor de typische Amsterdamse grachtenbeleving; het IJ biedt meer ruimte en is vooral interessant voor grotere groepen en evenementen.
Wat is de minimale groepsgrootte
Voor een BBQ-arrangement geldt een minimale groepsgrootte van 10 personen. Vanaf 10 personen kunnen jullie een privéboot inclusief BBQ boeken.
Mag je eigen eten en decoratie meenemen aan boord?
Eigen eten en catering meenemen aan boord is in principe niet toegestaan. Eten en catering worden via ons of de betreffende rederij verzorgd.
Uitzondering: bij zelfvaarbootjes mag je wel eigen eten en drinken meenemen.
Eigen decoratie meenemen is wel toegestaan, zolang deze geen schade aan de boot veroorzaakt en er geen decoratiemateriaal in het water terechtkomt.
