Our customers
Organizing a business New Year's drink in Haarlem
The majority of bookings in January come from companies. If you recognize one of these situations, a drink on the water fits well with what you are looking for.
- Office in the Waarderpolder or the center. The boarding point on the Nieuwe Gracht is within walking distance of the station and most of the offices in Haarlem.
- Thank you staff after a busy year. On board, no one can return to their desk, which makes people actually talk to each other.
- Invite relationships and customers. A private sloop is more exclusive than a hall and lingers longer as a topic of conversation.
- Teams that don't see much of each other. A speed of 2.5 hours forces walking around and new conversations, something that rarely happens at a fixed location.
- Fixed budget per person. The All-in rate makes it clear in advance what the evening costs, including drinks and staff.
Are you looking for something more extensive than a drink alone? Then watch it business trip in Haarlem with additional arrangements.

“ 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!”
