Meetings on a Salon Boat
Looking for a unique meeting location in Amsterdam for a board meeting or a private Executive Board session? Rederij De Jordaan offers meetings on classic salon boats through the Amsterdam canals: a calm, inspiring environment where focus and informal connection go hand in hand. Unique, peaceful, and effective!

Why Choose a Salon Boat as a Meeting Venue?
A meeting center on the water creates a different dynamic than a standard conference room. On the Farahilde (1908) and the Welmoed (1932), your team experiences privacy, attention to detail, and personalized service. Whether it’s a board meeting, executive meeting, or board council session, the intimate setting of a salon boat fosters clear decision-making and creative thinking.

Benefits for Management and Teams
For management meetings or executive discussions, the boat is ideal: you have your own captain and crew, flexible departure point, and tailored catering. An executive meeting on the canals combines efficiency with calm — no ringing phones or interruptions, just full attention to the agenda.



Boarding and Meeting Sessions on the Boat
Your session begins with a welcome on board, followed by a short cruise as the captain passes by Amsterdam’s most beautiful spots. The salon is set up for discussions and presentations: comfortable seating, a table suitable for notes and laptops, and audiovisual support upon request. During the cruise, there is space for informal conversations over coffee, lunch, or drinks. The gentle motion of the water creates a relaxed atmosphere that encourages creativity and decision-making.
Rederij De Jordaan focuses on groups of up to 12 people, making each onboard meeting feel like a private conference room — ideal for confidential discussions and strategic sessions. The flexibility allows you to combine a brief plenary meeting with an informal brainstorming session or a networking dinner afterward.



Booking, Access and Customization
Booking is simple: choose a date and time, indicate any special requirements such as presentation materials, dietary requests, or specific setup, and the company takes care of the rest. Located in the heart of Amsterdam, the salon boats are easily accessible for your guests. For executives and boards seeking a venue that offers something extra, the salon boat is a convincing alternative to a traditional conference center.
Whether you want a short executive meeting or dedicate a full day to strategic planning with a Board session, the classic atmosphere of Rederij De Jordaan ensures a professional, inspiring setting that leaves a lasting impression.
Contact us for availability and a tailored proposal — meetings on the Amsterdam canals transform your gathering into an experience that enhances decision-making and collaboration.
