Which Dinner package suits your cruise?
On a sloop, not every type of meal works equally well. Below are the packages that Event op het Water in Haarlem provides on board, with each option that suits him best.
Are you in doubt between two arrangements? When applying, indicate what kind of company it is and how long you want to sail. The advisors choose the appropriate arrangement.
BBQ on board with chef
The most booked package in Haarlem. A chef sails along and prepares live on the aft deck, so the dishes come hot from the grill as you slide along the Bakenessergracht. There are packages with meat, vegetarian and halal. Suitable for an informal company outing or family celebration of ten to seventy people. Want to know more? View the BBQ boat Haarlem.
Pizza fresh from the oven
Pizza’s that are baked on board and go around per point. Works well if you want people to stand and walk around instead of sitting in one place. Popular at bachelorette parties and birthdays, and one of the few packages that children participate in without a murmur. Look for the possibilities at the pizzaboot Haarlem.
Tapas that go around during the cruise
Small hot and cold dishes that go through the entire cruise, without a clear beginning or end. The most relaxed option and the best choice when the conversation is more important than the food. Sushi and poke bowls are also available on request. View the tapas boat Haarlem for the arrangements.
Walking dinner of borrelhapjes
Several courses spread over the tour, or just an extensive snack arrangement with the drinks. The lightest variant, suitable for a cruise of one and a half to two hours after working hours. If you are looking for a drink with something, then the borrelboot Haarlem better.
The luxury sloop in Haarlem
Event op het Water works in Haarlem exclusively with luxury open sloops. The passenger boats and event ships only sail in Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Utrecht. This has a practical reason: the Haarlem canals and bridges are too narrow and too low for larger ships.
On a sloop, you sit on comfortable pillows along the side, not at a set table with chairs. That's fair to know in advance. For a barbecue, pizza, tapas or walking dinner it doesn't matter, because those dishes are made on it. For a formally served three-course menu with changing cutlery, a sloop is less suitable; then you better look at the dinner cruises in Amsterdam, where saloon boats with fixed tables operate.
A sloop takes 10 to 70 people. For larger groups of up to 200 people, several sloops are linked together that sail the same route, each with its own skipper and its own operator. If you want to completely determine the filling yourself, check out the options to create a boat rentals in Haarlem.

What do guests say about us?
Our customers
Eat on board, not halfway off board
In Haarlem means “dinerboot” with most providers something different than you expect. Often you sail for an hour or two and then eat in a restaurant at the mooring, or moor the boat halfway for a stopover. Sometimes the crew picks up the hot dishes on the way from a kitchen on the canal.
At events on the Water, everything stays on board. The catering staff sails along and serves during the trip. A barbecue is accompanied by a cook who prepares on the aft deck while the sloop passes through. The boat does not have to Moor for anything and your company stays together all evening.
That saves more in practice than it sounds. At a stopover, you lose twenty minutes of getting in and out, and the group breaks up as soon as everyone sits on a terrace. On the water, the conversation continues.

How much does a dinner boat cost in Haarlem?
The cruise starts from € 32 per person incl. VAT for one and a half hours and increases to € 60 per person for 3.5 hours with several sloops. It contains the sloop, the skipper, the catering staff and unlimited beer, wine, soft drinks, coffee and tea.
The arrangement comes on top of that and varies by choice. Snacks are lower than a barbecue with a cook on board. When comparing quotes, pay attention to two things: whether the drink is included and whether the food is served on board or in a restaurant on shore. A rate that only covers boat rental and drinks looks lower but does not include the food.

“ We have had a cruise through the canals of Amsterdam with our company. Fortunately, we were lucky that the weather was beautiful. We really enjoyed the delicious freshly prepared BBQ and delicious chilled drinks.
Really recommended to go sailing on the water with an Event!”
Getting off at the Nieuwe Gracht
The regular starting point in Haarlem is the Nieuwe Gracht 80, in the middle of the historic city center and within walking distance of the center. Here the sloops are moored before departure. During the week it is possible to deviate from this location in consultation with the sales department.
Getting on and off does not have to be done in the same place. The longer routes in the direction of Spaarndam often depart elsewhere, for example when the party continues the evening there. When applying, indicate whether this is desirable, then the route will be adjusted accordingly.
Dinner boat Haarlem: eating on the water in the Spaarnestad
Haarlem is compact, and that is exactly its charm. Within half an hour you will see the Gravestenenbrug, the Waag and the quays along the Spaarne, followed by the smaller canals. Enough variety for a whole evening, without you ever really leaving the city.
Choose the package first and then the route, because the food determines how long you want to sail. Bookings can be made from 10 people, up to 200 via several linked sloops. The rest will be arranged.

Frequently asked questions about the diner boat in Haarlem
Isn't everything clear yet? Read the frequently asked questions about boating and eating in Haarlem here.
How much does a dinner boat cost in Haarlem?
The cruise starts from € 32 per person incl. VAT for one and a half hours and increases to € 60 per person for 3.5 hours with several sloops. It contains the sloop, the skipper, the catering staff and unlimited beer, wine, soft drinks, coffee and tea. The food is offered separately and varies by arrangement.
Is the food prepared and served on board?
Okay. The catering staff sails along and serves during the trip, without the boat having to dock. A barbecue is accompanied by a cook who prepares on the aft deck while the sloop passes through. So there is no need to stop at a restaurant.
What arrangements are there in Haarlem?
The most booked options are a barbecue with chef on board, pizzas that are baked on board, tapas that go around and a walking dinner with several courses. Sushi and poke bowls are available on request. Dietary requirements such as vegetarian, halal or gluten-free are coordinated in advance.
How many people can I book?
A private sloop can be booked from 10 people and can accommodate up to 70 people. For larger groups of up to 200 people, several sloops are linked that sail the same route, each with its own skipper and operator. There are no passenger boats or event ships in Haarlem.
Can you eat at a set table on the sloop?
On a sloop, you sit on comfortable pillows along the side, not at a set table with chairs. For a barbecue, pizza, tapas or walking dinner that is no objection, because those dishes are made on it. For a formally served three-course menu, a saloon boat is more suitable, which sails in Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Utrecht.
Where can you get off in Haarlem?
The regular starting point is the Nieuwe Gracht 80, in the middle of the historic city center. Deviations are possible during the week in consultation with the sales department. You can get on and off at the same or at different places, depending on the chosen route.
How long should a food cruise last?
Event op het Water recommends at least 2.5 hours as soon as hot food is eaten. At one and a half hours, a drink with snacks or a light walking dinner fits, but a Cook has too little time. For an extensive multi-course barbecue, three hours is the most pleasant choice.
