A bachelor or bachelorette party on board a sloop is a different experience from a night at a bar. The group sits close together in an open boat, cruising along the Dieze and the Stadsdommel with the city as a backdrop. No boating license is required, the rental company gives instructions, and the helm is passed around among the group throughout the trip.

The boat can be decorated with banners, a sign, or a sash for the bride or groom. Drinks and snacks are welcome on board, and a speaker is allowed as long as the music is kept low when passing through residential areas. The route heads via the Smalle Haven toward the Buitenhaven, with a stop at a harbour bar on the way back. A sloop holds a maximum of seven people, and for larger groups multiple boats can be booked side by side.

Book one or more sloops at Zelf Varen Den Bosch for your desired time slot, each boat takes a maximum of seven people.

Send the group a waterproof packing briefing in advance: sunscreen, jacket, drinks, snacks.

Decorate the boat at departure with a banner, bunting, or a sash for the guest of honour.

Arrange with the rental company which stops are allowed, and pick a harbour bar to visit along the way.

Rotate the helm regularly so everyone gets a turn at steering, which keeps the focus on the bride or groom.

Wrap up the day on land with dinner at a Den Bosch restaurant within walking distance of the mooring.

Suggestions

  • Book two sloops for larger groups, which gives more room for games.
  • Keep alcohol moderate for whoever is at the helm, it is the same as being behind the wheel.
  • Bring warmer clothing for the evening, it is always colder out on the water.
  • Plan your departure at the end of the afternoon so the party flows smoothly into dinner.

Variations

  • - Doe een opdrachtenrace op het water met de twee sloepen.
  • - Combineer met een fotoshoot op een vooraf afgesproken locatie aan de kade.
  • - Plan een ochtendvaart met ontbijt voor een rustigere groep.
