What do guests say about us?
Our customers
What is a roadshow on the water?
A roadshow on the water is a business event that travels through several cities and takes place on board a boat instead of in a Hall. The boat is a presentation space, a networking drink and a catering location at the same time. Companies use this format for product launches, dealer days, customer presentations and partner meetings.
Amsterdam is often the first or last stop of a Dutch tour. The boarding locations are within walking distance of Amsterdam Central Station, allowing guests from all over the country to board quickly.

& # 8220; We have had a very nice baby shower with my family and friends. As a pregnant woman have sailed through the canals of Amsterdam. Luckily we had beautiful weather and the baby shower decoration was beautiful. We really enjoyed the delicious freshly prepared BBQ, tasty snacks and delicious chilled drinks for an unforgettable baby shower.
Really recommended to go boating with an Event for my pregnant girlfriend as an expectant mother at one of the baby shower locations with an extensive high tea on, for example, a stylish salon boat as a baby shower location!”

Why companies choose a roadshow location on the water
A Hall in Amsterdam competes with dozens of similar halls. A boat doesn't do that. Six reasons to choose a sailing roadshow location:
- Rise is higher, because invitees see a boat trip as an outing and not as an obligation.
- Attention stay within the group, because guests do not leave the room in the meantime.
- Network time arises automatically while sailing, without a separate drinking space.
- Catering the package includes everything from snacks to a walking dinner on board.
- Technique such as a screen, sound and microphone adds Event on the Water on request.
- Footage with the canals or the skyline of the IJ provides useful content for your campaign.
Look at the possibilities for a business events in Amsterdam if your program lasts longer than one part of the day.

How to organize a roadshow in Amsterdam step by step
- Determine the group size. The number of guests determines the type of boat and the sailing area. Below 70 people you sail through the canals, above 70 people across the IJ.
- Choose the boarding location. Amsterdam Central will suit guests who come by train, the Rijksmuseum will suit a program in the museum quarter.
- Plan the sailing schedule. Count on 1.5 hours for a demo with drinks and 3 hours for a presentation with dinner on board.
- Select the arrangement. Snacks, a walking dinner and a BBQ can be booked separately on top of the standard package with unlimited beer, wine and soft drinks.
- Add technique. Screen, Sound, Microphone, a dj or theme decoration arranges Event on the Water on request.
- Connect the other cities. The same setup sails in Rotterdam and Utrecht, so that one quote covers the entire tour.
- Request the quote. Event on the Water confirms availability within 24 hours.

Roadshow location in Amsterdam: boat or room
A room offers fixed technology and unlimited speaking time. A boat offers exclusivity, catering and transportation in one fare. Heavy stand construction and car demos do not fit on board, presentations with screen and sound do. For a roadshow with physical products over 200 kilos, a docked event ship is the better choice, because loading and unloading is then done at the quay.
Anyone who controls the program completely themselves can also boat rentals in Amsterdam.
