Dinner Cruise on the Loosdrecht Lakes
A delicious 3-course dinner with a panoramic view: double the indulgence! Come enjoy a 5-star meal while you sail in your private boat along the Loosdrecht Lakes. On board you can make your choices from the menu. Your starter, main course and dessert are then prepared on shore as your captain sets sail to the restaurant to pick up the dishes. Bon appétit!
A Unique À la Carte Package
Your dinner cruise on the Loosdrecht Lakes could look something like this:
- 18:00
The captain welcomes you and your guests on board with a drink. After explaining the program for the evening, you set sail on the Loosdrecht Lakes. - 18:20
While your boat cruise visits the most beautiful areas throughout the lakes, you choose your starter, main course and dessert from the menu. Our hostess will then place your order with the restaurant. When your dishes are complete, the captain will dock near the restaurants so the dinner can be delivered, fresh from the kitchen to your private sailing restaurant. - 21:00
The program ends as you return to your departure location.
Lakes and Legakkers
If you choose to enjoy a dinner cruise on the Loosdrecht Lakes, you will have ample opportunity to become familiar with the area, which was created by the excavation of peat. Today elongated islands remain throughout the region, called “legakkers”. This is where the excavated peat was laid to dry.
