Start Boat Tour season 2016

by

We’re almost ready for our boat tour season ! Spring is really coming up now- still some stormy Dutch weather- of course, but can you see the sun through the clouds too ?  Actually this Sunday the weather forecast is nice, it will be hot and sunny. For us a perfect day for painting Daisy, we want her to be Spic ‘n’ Span for the new boat tour season. The regular boat tour starts Saturday April 9th. We already have a private tour booked on this particular weekend, some customers wanted a private tour and we’re bringing them to MaMaKelly for a lovely dinner. From city centre to Binckhorst area it is a small hour by boat. Maybe we’re going to need the blankets -kind of cosy i would say-

Events

Besides the regular boat tours, we planning some nice events for the next months. First in line is King’s Night – famous for The Hague- with al the live music in the city. The Hague is host to the yearly King’s Night Life I Live festival (or Koningsnach, King’sNight, as it used to be called) on the night before King’s Day. This free open air festival turns the inner city into one big party for the evening and off course you all want to be there Tuesday evening April 26th. This King’s Night boat tour is the meet-up for friends or expat networks who want to join in the celebrations. The group-ticket comes with a free bottle of Prosecco and 6-pack Beer. See you 7 PM !

Bubbels & Boat tourAnother event on Sunday May 1th is, something complete different, a serious story. In addition to the Liberation Festival (Bevrijdingsfestival) on 5 May, the city will organise The Hague Freedom Weeks from 15 April to 5 May. The Jewish History boat tour is part of the Liberation Festival. Our guide Remco Dörr is an art historian and inspired narrator. He will treat you the secrets about the Jewish History in The Hague.

Sleeping Beauty

by

At the moment we still have our winter break. Although we’ve had lovely weather this last days, which feels more like spring, the temperature on board is not comfortable for a boat tour !
Daisy just want to hide out under a blanket rather than face the world. Our sleeping beauty is waiting for Prince Charming. Guess who this will be ? 

The Hague Boat

Exactly Jan needs to wake her up ! Hopefully it doesn’t take him hundred years, but only 1 month. We expect the weather forecast in April is fine to start with our regular boat tours, we will see, and gorgeous Daisy will be ready to roll !

Tickets are available and we also have a special event on May 1th.

Thanks for the boat tour -season 2015-

In mid-June, we launched The Hague Boat. The boat was not finished yet, but the summer weather was coming and we already had two private boat tours booked, so go, go!
Jan had six months worked alone on Daisy, in a dark hallway. We needed to switch a little bit, but we have fun together, in our role as Captain & Guide.

Great summer weather has remained and we really enjoyed all the people on board. Guests from Saudi Arabia, Australia, Brazil, Iran, India, Canada, Argentina, USA, and from all over Europe enjoyed our round trip.

Nice people all with different stories, some visiting for a few days. Some live as Expat in The Hague and show their family and friends the city from a boat. Beautiful views of the city from the water !

Guest experienced The Hague as a laid-back town, a museum is easily combined with a visit to the beach.

 

We hope to see you again next spring!

Private Boat Tour

Private Boat Tour

Its always nice to have a private boat tour with family & friends. Daisy is more then willing to take you for a pleasant ride through the canals. Next weekend the weather forecast looks fine and on Saturday September 12th a few people and a company, already made a reservation to hire the boat exclusive. That’s why no timetable shows up in the Ticket-shop on Saturday 12th …we’re kind of sold out on Saturday. On the other hand Sunday 13th we do have space left in the morning, at 11:00 hrs or in the afternoon after 15:00 hrs …so if you still need to celebrate your birthday or just celebrate anything in life…book a boat tour! It could be the last weekend of beautiful weather before autumn is starting.

HofVanWouwWe do have a special event in the morning on Saturday  12th ; Join the “Open Monuments Day” boat tour for a pleasant cruise through the canals and a walking tour.
Our English-speaking guide will tell you about the hidden histories of The Hague on board, and we visit on our way almshouse “Hofje van Wouw” with an exclusive English tour.

historic-posterSunday September 13th we have the Jenever & liqueur tasting event. We combine the boat tour with a visit -with a tour -through the Kleef Museum. During the tour you’ll hear about how The Hague was once the an important distillery city in the Netherlands. Also nice to join! See you next weekend on board!

Weekend weather 10/11 July

by

The brand new flyers arrived today and of course i want to show them to all the hotels in The Hague ! The weather today (Wednesday) was awful, i needed a coat again and replaced my flip-flops for sneakers . As a real Dutchie on my bicycle to city centre with my bag filled with flyers. Umbrella in one hand, bag in the other hand and OMG what a wind & rain ….try to park my bike in front of a hotel, my umbrella smashes my eye !  …feeling so miserable, with wet trousers, almost a blue eye,  I enter a high class hotel: Good morning ! doing a lot for promoting my own business, but this action was probably not the best one.  Any ways maybe you reed this blog after you found my flyer in city centre and then I’m pleased !

Weather in the Netherlands is very unpredictable, this Friday & Saturday its sunny again! How lucky we are !  Flip-flops back on my feet and off we go!

Join the tour for a pleasant boat tour through the canals! Friday 10 July – 11 AM is the first in line !

See you on board !

It’s getting Hot !!

by

High temperatures this Saturday July 4th ! Outrageous ! more then 35 degrees ! The best spot in town is on a boat of course! Take your fancy straw hat & sun-cream 🙂
Let’s join the 3 PM  boat tour for example, when the sun is probably less burning…It’s fine to take your own bottle of water, because we don’t want you to be dehydrated !

After work we go straight to a nice bar for a so called Friday after work drink. Craft beer or Cocktail in one hand, some bites in the other. Time to stress out after a busy working week and to catch up with some Expat friends or colleagues.  This Friday June 26th we’re introducing a new event Fish bowl Friday !  Fresh summer fruit with booze ! So Ibiza style during Shopping Night in The Hague. Please skip the bar and join my boat…weather forecast is fine and we put up some music!
