Welcome to
Event on the water
Sailing is never the same thanks to events on the Water. Since 2017, Event op het Water has been the platform for the most beautiful boat trips in the Netherlands, founded by Tom Adolfsen. We ensure an unforgettable day on the water, on a tour boat, drink boat, BBQ boat, party boat or pizza boat. Always a private boat with experienced skipper and unlimited beer, wine and soft drinks.
You can sail with us in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht, Haarlem and The Hague, for groups of 10 to 700 people. From an intimate sloop through the canals to a large event ship on the water. Because Event on the Water collaborates with several shipping companies and has more than 300 boats available, there is a suitable boat for each group and type of trip. That makes us the biggest mediator in boat trips in the Benelux.

What happens when it rains on our cruise?
A cruise can in most cases simply continue in case of rain or cold weather. Many boats have a canopy and heating, so you can also sail comfortably in less good weather. Open boats can often be closed with a hood in bad weather. Only in extreme weather conditions, such as severe storms, can a voyage be adapted or cancelled for safety reasons. This always happens in consultation.
Can I determine the boarding location and sailing route myself?
For many private trips, you can choose a suitable boarding location and sailing route. The possibilities depend on the city, the boat, the available berths and the local rules. In many cases, boarding at a different public location is possible without additional costs, provided that this is allowed operationally. Pass on your wishes to your request, so we can see what is possible.
