“Instead of a regular drinks reception, Annelies Kramer arranged an elaborate tea ceremony where guests blended their own tea at the brass tea bar. Calmer than a cocktail hour, exactly what we wanted.”

Hidde P.

“Forty-five guests in the saloon with low sofas, no dance floor or DJ, more of a living-room feeling on the water. If you want a classic party, this isn't the right boat.”

Fleur B.

“The idea comes from the nineteenth-century tea clippers that once sailed from this dock to Asia, and Annelies told that story with such enthusiasm during the tour that our guests were still talking about it weeks later.”

Guus M.

“Alcohol wasn't required through a fixed bar, exactly what my family was looking for, without the party ever feeling formal because of it. The view of the open IJ from the deck was a lovely bonus.”
