Wedding and Getting Married on a Saloon Boat

Arriving in style at your own wedding? That is perfectly possible with the notary boat Farahilde from 1908 or with the Welmoed from 1932. Many Amsterdam wedding venues are located on or near the water, for example De Westerliefde, the Stopera or the Amstelveld. Give your wedding an extra romantic start by gliding stylishly across the water, clearly visible to all guests who will welcome you from the quay!
Saloon boat Farahilde was once called a ‘little bonbon’ by a valued client, a word that nicely captures the appearance of this boat. The cream-white cockpit and the tall teakwood salon form a chic ensemble that complements a beautiful bridal couple with dignity. We are happy to think along with you to make the journey on your wedding boat unforgettable, for example by decorating the saloon boat with flowers, ribbons and balloons.

The private cruise offers space for speeches, music, drinks or dinner while you sail past the most beautiful spots of the city. Our saloon boats are suitable for small groups of up to 12 people, giving your wedding ceremony or civil marriage a warm and personal atmosphere.
Captain Reinhard Spronk ensures a relaxed and smooth course of the cruise. He is happy to think along about decoration, timing and sailing route, so that your wedding celebration or jubilee perfectly matches your wishes.
