The complete borrel on the water

Anyone can do drinks at the office or in a bar. On the Borrel boat your group cruises the Amsterdam canals for two hours while the drinks are cold and the bites are ready — fully catered, skipper and city tax included.

You choose: a generous snack board with charcuterie, cheeses, olives, nuts and bread, or hot Dutch bites with bitterballen, cheese sticks, spring rolls and mini sausages. Also see our boats or all arrangements.
