Client drinks on a boat during Amsterdam Light Festival
The client reception people actually turn up for
Year-end receptions for clients are often predictable and hard to fill. A cruise on a cosy salon boat is an invitation people do not want to miss.
A cosy bubble on the water
Your guests sit together in a warm, atmospheric salon while the light artworks of Amsterdam Light Festival glide past. No fixed seating, but plenty of room for good conversation.
We help shape the programme
You do not have to figure it out alone. We build a reception that fits your clients with you, from the bites to the sailing programme, so you can invite with confidence.

How do your client drinks on a salon boat work?
1 - A no-obligation conversation
We discuss who you want to invite, what you want to achieve and which atmosphere fits.
2 - Choosing boat and programme
The number of guests determines the boat. Together we choose the format, the bites and the route along the Light Festival.
3 - Welcoming your clients
Your guests are welcomed at a central boarding location, with a welcome drink on board.
4 - Cruising past the light art
Drinks and bites are served while you cruise past the artworks, with plenty of room to catch up.
5 - A tailored programme
A short welcome speech, live music or a more extensive meal: we tailor everything to your clients.
6 - Return or a different end location
We moor at the same spot or a different one, for example near a restaurant to continue the evening.
