About the venue
The Oude Compagnie hauled goods between the Kattenburg warehouses for decades before its hold was stripped back to a bare, industrial space with visible rivets and steel ribs — not a dressed-up hall, but a boat that shows its working past. The barge stays permanently moored on the canal, close to the Scheepvaartmuseum.
The hold seats 70 to 160 guests and was deliberately built pillar-free, which makes it suit a large dance floor alongside the dinner tables. Skipper Thijs Bakker, who took the boat over from his father, allows any outside caterer and arranges the generators for power himself. He usually replies within two days and likes early setup, a full day ahead if scheduling allows.

Recommendations
3 recommendations“The visible rivets and steel ribs gave our party an edge a regular hall never would have had. Skipper Thijs Bakker even let us set up a full day ahead, which saved us a lot of stress.”
“A hundred and sixty guests and a big dance floor next to the dinner tables, made possible exactly because the hold was built pillar-free. Our own caterer worked there without any trouble.”
“Thijs arranged the generators for power himself, something we hadn't even thought of. The boat hauled cargo for decades and you feel that past everywhere, exactly the atmosphere we were after.”
