VIP Boot

VIP Boot creates memorable group experiences on the water from its departure point in Doetinchem. Organisers can hire a private luxury lounge boat for relaxed outings, celebrations, corporate gatherings and informal meetings in the Achterhoek. The boat accommodates up to nine adults, with the option of arranging a second boat for larger groups.

The experience is designed to be accessible and straightforward, as no boating licence or previous sailing experience is required. Guests receive clear instructions before departure, then enjoy the freedom of cruising through the landscapes around Doetinchem, the Oude IJssel and the wider Achterhoek region. The comfortable boats feature lounge seating, tables, Bluetooth audio, lighting and practical facilities for a sociable day on the water. They can also be covered, with additional weather protection and comfort options available when required.

For event planners, VIP Boot offers more than standard boat hire. Its tailored programmes include company outings, team-building sessions, brainstorming trips, off-site meetings and business celebrations. Private occasions such as birthdays, baby showers, hen parties, family gatherings and romantic cruises can also be enhanced with themed decoration, welcome music, a personalised name on the boat and food or drink arrangements. Options include breakfast, lunch, tapas, sushi, pizza, high tea and other catered concepts.

The flexible format makes VIP Boot suitable for intimate groups looking for an unusual event setting, as well as companies seeking a refreshing alternative to a conventional meeting room. Routes, timings, catering and onboard details can be adapted to create a relaxed, personal and memorable event afloat.
