Salon Boat

Emma

This beautiful saloon boat is Rederij Belle’s smallest saloon boat. She was built in 1913 at shipyard Tiebout on the Amstel River. Several years ago, the salon boat was completely restored with the luxury and grandeur of the 1920s. Glossy mahogany wood, cut glass and original Art Deco details adorn the interior.

The cockpit tent opens fully, as does the sunroof, and can accommodate 10 to 20 people. In April 2011, the salon boat was commissioned by Rederij Belle and christened “Emma. She has since been made fully electric and sails whisper quiet and completely emission-free.

Boarding Locations

The Emma has several embarkation points in Amsterdam, on the Vecht, the Amstel and surrounding waters. Exactly where you board, you decide in advance in consultation with our reservation staff. It is also possible to get off at a different place than where you got on. The advantage is that you can navigate a larger area and not travel the route twice. You must have alternative transportation to the pick-up point. Of course, we can arrange that for you.

Luxury boat arrangements for special occasions

Cruise through Amsterdam, on the Amstel or the Vecht

Our salon boat Dame van Amstel sails through Amsterdam as well as on the Amstel and the Vecht: two beautiful rivers with a character all their own. On the Vecht, you cruise past countless country houses and small castles, often surrounded by the lushest gardens with exuberant hydrangeas. You will pass small tea domes, cute bridges and the most beautiful villages.

The Amstel River flows between Amsterdam and Uithoorn. Still in Amsterdam, the cruise leads past highlights of the city, such as the Magere Brug and theater Carré. Further out on the Amstel, you sail past the picturesque towns of Ouderkerk aan de Amstel and Nes aan de Amstel. The river is relatively high here, so you are “sailing higher,” so to speak, than the surrounding pastures and farms. That alone is a unique experience.

Cruising routes

Besides the canals of Amsterdam, there are several beautiful routes, such as Breukelen – Loosdrecht, Breukelen – Oud-Zuilen, Muiden – Vreeland and Uithoorn – Amsterdam. Check out where the boating routes in Amsterdam the boating routes on the Vecht and the boating routes on the Amstel take you.

Dining with 20 people

The Emma salon boat can carry up to 20 people. You and your party can dine extensively at the table.

Wedding on board

The Vecht is known for its romance. The many beautiful wedding venues on the banks of the Vecht are proof of that. In most municipalities through which the Vecht flows, you can get married with the officiant aboard our ship.
