What is VIP Exclusive Giethoorn?

VIP Exclusive Giethoorn is meant for visitors who want to see Giethoorn from the water in private and in comfort. You sail with your own party and are sailed by a skipper, so you do not have to worry about steering or navigating. The difference from a regular boat tour lies mainly in its private character: you reserve the trip for your own party and do not share the boat with other visitors.

That makes VIP Exclusive suitable if you want more privacy and personal attention while sailing. The exact arrangement depends on the option you choose and your wishes.

What does an exclusive trip through Giethoorn look like?

An exclusive trip through Giethoorn is tailored to the boat, sailing time and options you choose. The skipper takes over the sailing, so during the trip you can give your attention to Giethoorn and your party. From the water you see the village differently than from the footpaths: you sail past the buildings, gardens, bridges and waterways of Giethoorn.

Depending on the time available and the trip you choose, the route can focus on the village or be extended towards the surrounding countryside. You do not have to work out a route yourself, because the skipper knows the sailing area and takes care of the trip.

Who is VIP Exclusive Giethoorn suitable for?

VIP Exclusive Giethoorn is suitable for parties who value privacy, comfort and a personal arrangement. That can be private or business.

Think, for example, of:

  • a special day with family or friends
  • a birthday or anniversary
  • a marriage proposal or another personal occasion
  • a business visit to Giethoorn
  • a company outing or client event
  • guests you want to show Giethoorn in a special way
  • a party that would like to sail privately with a skipper

The number of people partly determines which boat and options are suitable. The options available can therefore differ per party.

Privacy & ease

Why discover Giethoorn privately with a skipper?

With a private boat and skipper you do not have to sail yourself and you do not share the boat with other visitors, which gives you the freedom to focus on your party and the surroundings. You do not need a boating licence or sailing experience, because the skipper steers the boat.

That is comfortable and practical: you do not have to think about operating the boat, the route or manoeuvring through the canals. You step on board and can focus entirely on the trip.

Village & countryside

Which route do you sail on VIP Exclusive Giethoorn?

The route depends on the sailing time, boat and conditions on the water. Giethoorn offers routes through the village and the chance to combine sailing with the surrounding countryside. On a trip through the village you see Giethoorn from the canals: you pass bridges, houses and gardens and see why water plays such an important part in the character of the village.

With more time, longer routes are possible, so the length of trip you want is an important factor in choosing the right VIP option. Do you mainly want to see Giethoorn itself, or sail for longer? Then choose the sailing time and option that best suits your visit.

Short or longer

How long does an exclusive trip in Giethoorn take?

The duration of VIP Exclusive Giethoorn depends on the option you choose. There is no fixed sailing time that is the same for every party. A shorter private trip can suit when sailing is one part of a day programme in Giethoorn, while for a longer trip and more of the area you can choose a longer sailing time from those available.

When choosing, look at the boat, the length of trip you want and the purpose of your visit. A business group, for example, may have different wishes from a family celebrating an anniversary or a party that wants to spend a relaxed afternoon on the water.

Price

How much does VIP Exclusive Giethoorn cost?

The price of VIP Exclusive Giethoorn depends on the boat, duration, group size and further arrangement you choose, so there is no single fixed price for every exclusive trip. By first deciding how many people are coming, when you want to sail and what sailing time you are looking for, you can see which options fit.

The available options and their prices are made clear when you reserve or enquire. That way you can make a choice in advance that suits your party and wishes.

Private or boat tour

What is the difference between VIP Exclusive and a regular boat tour?

With VIP Exclusive Giethoorn your own party is the focus, whereas on a regular boat tour you are usually on board together with other visitors. A regular boat tour is therefore mainly suitable when you simply want to join an existing boat trip, while a private trip is meant for visitors who prefer to sail with just their own party.

There is also an important difference compared with hiring a boat yourself: with VIP Exclusive the boat is steered by a skipper, so you do not have to steer and need no boating licence or sailing experience.

Can you combine VIP Exclusive with other activities?

An exclusive trip can be part of a longer visit to Giethoorn, and what exactly can be combined depends on your wishes and the options available. If you want to make the trip part of a complete programme, say in your enquiry roughly what you have in mind.

Think of the number of people, the date you want, how much time you have and the reason for the visit, so that on that basis it can be seen which options fit. This is especially handy for company outings, anniversaries, family days and other occasions where the trip is part of a larger programme.
