Rederij Staets

Rederij Staets offers exclusive private boat hire on the Amsterdam canals and surrounding waterways, creating a distinctive setting for corporate events, weddings, celebrations and group experiences. Its modern electric boats are available for private cruises with groups of approximately 20 to 130 guests, giving organisers the freedom to shape the occasion around their own programme, route and atmosphere.

The boats are designed for year-round use. During warmer months, the panoramic roof can be opened to create an airy, open-water experience, while the enclosed interior can be heated during colder weather. On board, guests can make use of comfortable seating, a stylish bar, toilets, an outdoor deck and a sound system with Bluetooth connectivity. The flexible layout can support both seated and standing formats, making the vessels suitable for receptions, networking events, presentations, walking dinners and informal meetings.

Rederij Staets also provides a choice of food and drink arrangements, from breakfast, lunch and brunch to drinks receptions, buffets, walking dinners and multi-course meals. Menus and catering options can be adapted to dietary requirements, preferences and the desired style of the event. Organisers can add entertainment, including a DJ, for a livelier celebration on the water.

For business planners, the boats offer an unusual alternative to a conventional meeting or party venue, with opportunities for presentations, client hospitality, team outings, product experiences and private networking. Weddings and private celebrations can also be hosted on board, from the ceremony and drinks reception through to dinner and dancing. Boarding locations, sailing duration and routes can be discussed to create a tailored Amsterdam event with the city as its backdrop.
