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!”

Can you sail in Haarlem in January?

Where do you go in Haarlem?
The fixed boarding location is on the Nieuwe Gracht 80 in Haarlem, within walking distance of the center and the station. During the week it is possible to deviate from this in consultation with the sales department. Boarding and alighting take place at the same or different places, depending on the route.
How far in advance should I book?
The first three weeks of January are the busiest, especially Friday nights. Booking in november or december gives the most choice in date and time. Due to the wide range of sloops, there is often still availability in the shorter term.
Is there a difference between a new year's drink and a new year's reception?
A new year's drink is usually informal and aimed at colleagues’s among themselves. A new year's reception is more formal and often meant for relationships, clients, or members. Both are possible on board. For a reception, a longer cruise with more extensive snack arrangement and space for a speech is usually chosen.
