The covered saloon below deck, set up for dinner.
The open deck for the ceremony and the view over the water.
The on-board warm-up kitchen, where the catering is finished.
The view during the two and a half hours cruising the harbour.
“We said yes on the open deck while we were sailing past the Wolwevershaven. Those two and a half hours went by far too fast. Afterwards we moored and had dinner below in the saloon with fifty guests.”
“Joop is a skipper of the old school and it shows: he had picked the route so that we hit the prettiest bend exactly at sunset. You are still telling that story years later.”
“Important: the boat is not wheelchair accessible and there are steep stairs down to the saloon. My grandmother ended up staying up top with a few cousins. We knew in advance, but do genuinely factor it in.”
“Sixty guests is the maximum and we were right at it. At round tables of eight it just fitted, but do not count on much walking space. Our own caterer managed fine in the warm-up kitchen.”
