Enjoy your cruise!
The captain and boat will be ready at the dock 15 minutes before the start of your cruise.
Together with Brouwerij Noordt and Restaurant Mangiare we created a delicious menu to complete your cruise in Rotterdam! Will you go for a delicious Italian Borrel or Lunch box or will you choose the beer package with cheese and sausage? When making your reservation you can specify which provisions you would like on board.
What if it rains?
In bad weather, we will completely cover the sloop and possibly put windows in the sides so you can see outside. From the Lombardkade, we will lower the canopy for one bridge briefly, but otherwise you will be completely dry. So the cruise will continue as usual in case of rain and your outing will not fall into the water!
Can I play music?
The sloop has a small speaker on board, on which you may play music softly. If we pass houses, have to pass through a lock or are moored we ask you to turn it off. Bringing your own speaker is not allowed.
Bring food and drinks?
There is a large table aboard the Papillon and a cooler with ice and glasses for your snacks and drinks. Drinking alcohol is allowed, just in moderation. If passengers drink too much and are under the influence of alcohol, we can no longer guarantee safety.
What if I have to pee?
Unfortunately, the Papillon has no built-in toilet and there are no public toilets along the route. Mooring for a pee break is hardly possible along the Rotte. So go to the toilet before you come and don't drink too much during the first part of the cruise.
Wat leuk dat je een sloep wilt huren!
Je mag als huishouden samen een sloep huren (iedereen woont en staat ingeschreven op hetzelfde adres, max. 6 pers. per sloep). Neem je iemand uit een ander huishouden mee dan geldt maximaal 2 personen.
