Company outing on a boat in Zwolle
The objection to every company outing is the same: not everyone wants to climb, escape or paintball. A boat trip is the one activity nobody has a reason to opt out of.

A company outing on the water solves two problems at once. The first is participation: there is no physical barrier, no competition and no moment where anyone feels out of place. The second is how conversations work. In a function room you talk to whoever happens to sit next to you; on a sloop, the company shifts naturally.
What the outing looks like mainly depends on the time of day. A morning cruise with coffee and cake is a very different outing from afternoon drinks or an evening cruise with food on board, and the price difference is considerable.
The main boat seats thirty colleagues. For larger organisations, small electric boats cruise along around the sloop, or we schedule two trips back to back.
A different outing for every time of day
Morning cruise with coffee and cake
An hour and a half, from € 28,50 per person. The most affordable format and ideal when the cruise is part of a working day: a quarterly kick-off, a short meeting break or the start of an offsite. Everyone can simply get back to work afterwards.
Afternoon drinks
An hour and a half to two hours with unlimited beer, wine and soft drinks, from € 32,50 per person. The classic end-of-week outing. Works well to close a project phase or to welcome new colleagues.
Evening cruise with food
Two hours with fresh pizzas or a luxury sharing platter, from € 52,50 per person. Replaces the team dinner and saves you a restaurant booking for thirty.
Boat rental with your own programme
From € 250,- per hour for the whole boat. The right choice if you are arranging the content yourself, say an external speaker, a quiz or your own caterer.
What works on board and what doesn't
Works well: a word of welcome as people step aboard, a short look back at the year halfway through the cruise, a quiz about colleagues, and handing out something small. Anything brief that people can enjoy from their seats.
Works poorly: a presentation with slides. There is no screen, and daylight on an open boat makes a laptop unreadable. Do that at the office and save the cruise for the informal part.
Doesn't work: team building that requires moving around, group assignments with materials, or a programme that runs on a tight clock. A boat has its own pace.
Company branding is allowed. Flags, banners and decorations with your logo can come aboard, as long as they are secured and don't block the skipper's view.
Practical details for the organiser
Quote and invoice. For business groups we prepare a custom quote in advance. The invoice is issued in your company's name, so you can submit it straight away.
Numbers. Confirm the final headcount no later than a week in advance. Packages are priced from ten people, and the price per person stays the same above thirty.
Parking. The boarding point is on the edge of the city centre. Paid parking is available nearby for colleagues coming by car. Coming as a group? Gathering at the office and walking over together is usually more practical.
Accessibility. Boarding is from the quay with a step-up. Let us know in advance if a colleague has difficulty walking.
Department outing, team outing or the whole company
Department outing
Ten to thirty colleagues from one department fit exactly on the boat. That is the most common form: one department, one and a half to two hours, and everyone close enough together to hold a single conversation.
Team outing and team building
On a boat of thirty the group does not break up into clusters, as it does in a hall. For team building in Zwolle that is the key difference: nobody can walk away and everyone hears the same story.
Group activity with several teams
Above thirty participants we have small electric tenders sail along at € 50,- per hour per boat. The groups travel together and come ashore at the same place.
Company or staff party
To round off the year or a project. The boat then replaces the hall hire: one price, no minimum spend at the bar and a clear end to the evening.
How to plan it
- Pick the time of day. That determines the format and the price more than anything else.
- Request a custom quote, so the costs are fixed for your internal sign-off.
- Confirm the final number of colleagues no later than a week in advance.
- Plan a word of welcome at boarding and keep the rest of the programme short.
- Share the boarding point and departure time, and agree that everyone arrives ten minutes early.

Frequently asked questions about company & team outings in Zwolle
What does a company outing on the boat in Zwolle cost?
A morning cruise with coffee, tea and cake starts at € 28,50 per person for an hour and a half. A drinks cruise with unlimited beer, wine and soft drinks costs € 32,50 per person for an hour and a half and € 41,- for two hours. With fresh pizzas or a luxury sharing platter it ranges from € 44,50 to € 56,50 per person.
Can we get a quote and an invoice in our company's name?
Yes. For business groups we prepare a custom quote in advance and invoice in your company's name.
Can we cruise with more than 30 colleagues?
Yes. Above thirty people, small electric boats cruise along around the main boat, one per five extra colleagues. With a package, the price per person stays the same. For larger organisations we can also schedule two cruises back to back.
Is a presentation or team-building activity possible on board?
A word of welcome, a short look back or a quiz all work very well. A presentation with slides doesn't: there is no screen and daylight on an open boat makes a laptop unreadable. Active team building that requires moving around isn't safe on a moving boat.
May we bring our company flag or banner?
Yes, company branding is allowed as long as everything is secured and the skipper's view isn't blocked.
Is the boat suitable for a department outing or team building?
Yes, and for a department outing in particular it works well: ten to thirty colleagues fit on one boat and the group does not break up into clusters as it would in a hall. For team building in Zwolle that is the practical difference: nobody can walk away and everyone hears the same story.
Can we mark a colleague's farewell or retirement on board?
Certainly. For a farewell or retirement party an hour and a half is usually enough, with room for a short speech while the boat lies still. Agree that moment with the skipper in advance; on a moving boat a speaker is hard to hear.
