Hoop op Behoud

After De Hoop op Behoud was launched in 1897, it served long as a sailing shipping vessel on Europe's inland waterways and the Zuyderzee of the day. In the twenties, the ship brought construction materials for the construction of the Beurs van Berlage. After the Second World War, she led the mundane life of a houseboat in an Amsterdam canal. Since 1998 the ""Hoop op Behoud"" has been sailing again. A comprehensive renovation has restored her original luster, while the necessary adjustments have been made to ensure that we can now offer all the conveniences of a passenger ship. Currently, the former cargo hold serves as a comfortable salon, meeting room or sailing restaurant.

In dry weather, the deck running the entire length of the hold can be opened. You then have access to a private terrace of forty-five square meters, the ideal location for a sun-drenched event. The ""Hoop op Behoud"" possesses a full-fitted galley and a well-stocked bar. A toilet, telephone, sound system and 220-volt electrical system are also on board.
