Your time on the water

On a private tour, the boat is reserved for your group. Whether you want to catch up, discover Rotterdam or celebrate with food and drinks, tell us what matters to you and we will suggest a suitable programme.

There is no single fixed route for every private cruise. We consider the available boat, your preferred duration and your wishes. Our enclosed boat can also be requested, subject to availability. The final route remains dependent on boating conditions.

Food & drinks on board

From drinks to a private dinner

Drinks, sharing food and dinner packages can be added on request. Tell us how many guests will join and what you would like to serve. Your proposal sets out the menu or selection, quantities and price, so the inclusions are clear before you confirm.

The boat for your group only

A private cruise with drinks or dinner

Would you like to eat or have drinks on board with your own group? Private hire makes that possible: we discuss the catering, guest numbers, drinks and duration. This is tailored — the scheduled evening boat tour does not serve a meal.

Pontoon + water

Combine your cruise with the Experience Hub

Start with your own gathering or an urban farming workshop on the pontoon, then step aboard. Or make a private cruise the finale to a programme with lunch. Hub activities are available on request; we check the space and boat availability together.
