Dining on the Vinkeveen Lakes
A Unique Restaurant Package
Would you like a special meal in a unique location? Come enjoy a delicious dinner aboard your own private saloon boat on the Vinkeveen Lakes. You can order from the menu of your choice directly from the water. While you sail, your dishes will be prepared and then delivered, fresh, to your boat – your own private, floating restaurant!
À la carte Dining on the Water
In a restaurant, much of your time is spent waiting while your dishes are prepared. Of course, a delicious dish is always worth the wait, but Rederij Belle has found a better solution: enjoy a private sail on the Vinkeveen Lakes while your dishes are prepared to perfection.
The menu from the restaurant of your choice will be presented to you on board. After you make your selection, the hostess will call ashore and place the order for you and your guests. As the dishes near completion, the captain will dock outside of the restaurant so the kitchen staff can deliver the meal, fresh from the kitchen to your table. Bon appetit!
Customized Programme
The Dining on the Vinkeveen Lakes Package has a standard package. But, as with all Rederij Belle packages, we leave plenty of room for your own interpretation.
- 18:00
You and your guest are welcomed on board with a drink. Then, the captain will give a short introduction to the vessel and explain the route before setting sail. - 18:20
As the boat sails the lakes, you will choose your starter, main course and dessert. Once prepared, the captain will head to shore so the food can be delivered, fresh and hot, on board. - 21:00
You return to your place of departure.
