Team outings on a boat in the Amsterdam area

Wondering why a company outing on a boat is so much fun?

It’s simple: sailing is a blast! Our guests love it, and we’re sure you will too during your team outing. Being on a boat is inherently relaxing, and when you sail on the Amsterdam IJ, the Markermeer, the Zaan, or any other waterway, there’s no need to rush. Take your time and enjoy the stunning views of the water and surrounding areas. But that’s not all! Our boat is spacious enough to accommodate a variety of on-board activities, including quizzes, live music, sing-alongs with an accordionist, or a guided tour highlighting interesting facts about the sights along the way. So come on board and experience the joy of sailing for yourself!

Looking for fun company outing ideas? How about sailing to a special destination? For example, to Fort Island Pampus or Amsterdam Castle? And while you sail, we can arrange food and drinks for groups of up to 350 people. In other words… all the ingredients for a successful team outing in one location! Plus, by organizing everything with one company, you don’t have to worry about logistics or whether everything fits together. As a result, you (as an organizer) can also enjoy an unforgettable company outing on the water in the vicinity of Amsterdam and Zaandam!

What do our customers say?

“The entire team of the ship Stortemelk gave our company, 200 colleagues from Germany, an unforgettable day. Although the weather was unfortunately rainy, the atmosphere on the boat made up for everything. The personal and friendly attitude of all staff made us feel welcome, and that atmosphere prevailed on all three decks. Delicious snacks and lunch in abundance, excellent service, and at the end of the trip a beautiful “landing” at Muiderslot Castle. We greatly appreciated the flexibility in the preparations, and all desired program changes were effortlessly implemented. On behalf of all colleagues: herzlichen dank!“

“Your warm welcome, the excellent BBQ, the beautiful trip to Pampus, the delicious salads, everything was GREAT!! Nothing was too much or too difficult for you, we could enjoy ourselves on board, it felt like a warm bath. We appreciated your warmth and your flexible approach very much.“

Henk Broekman

Wijngenootschap 't Paaltje

“RECOMMENDED! A cozy and homely ship with a fantastic crew. Everything was taken care of to perfection, from decoration to food and crew. All 150 visitors had an excellent time. Since we had two indoor salons in use, we could have a lively dance party on one deck and quieter activities on the other. Despite the winter weather, the top deck decorated with lights invited us to spend time there as well.“
