Bachelor/bachelorette on a party boat in Amsterdam?

Organizing a bachelor or bachelorette party is a celebration in itself, but also a challenge. You want something original, something that suits the bride or groom, and something that everyone in the group will look back on with a smile for years to come. Instead of the standard pub crawl or an overcrowded bar, more and more people are choosing a partyboot in Amsterdam. And that’s no coincidence.

A party on the water combines freedom, atmosphere, and exclusivity. You’ll sail with your own group through the most beautiful city in the Netherlands, without the hassle of crowds or planning stress. Everything you need is on board: drinks, music, views, and a great time. Rederij de Nederlanden offers complete party boat packages that get your bachelor/bachelorette party sorted right away.
