Spinola is a boat moored in the harbor of Breda that can be rented for company drinks, meetings, company parties, barbecues, private parties and weddings. The boat holds up to 100 people, a lowered terrace on the quay holds 200 guests and a sundeck holds 40. It lies at Haven 26 in the historic center of Breda, within walking distance of the station.
Seminars and company events
The business offer covers company drinks, barbecues, company parties, meetings and staff outings. For meetings, the official site speaks of small groups of up to 20 people, with a projector and the usual facilities included. Visitors work on the water in the middle of the old town. After the session, a lunch buffet, snacks or a drinks package can follow on the same boat.
A company party or a larger reception can use the terrace on the quay. It is covered and heated when the weather is cold or wet, which makes it usable outside the summer months. The venue also offers team activities for staff outings, such as a boat trip, a pub quiz, music bingo and an elimination game.
Weddings and receptions
Couples can hold the ceremony and the party on board, or only the party. The official site mentions indoor and outdoor spaces and terraces with a view of the water. Guests are welcomed with a glass of cava. For the meal, a barbecue or an extensive buffet is offered, as are dinners, snack boards and cocktails. A maximum for a seated wedding is not published, so ask the team for the figure.
Rooms and capacities
The boat accommodates up to 100 people. The lowered terrace on the quay accommodates 200 guests, and the sundeck is an option for an intimate group of 40. Meetings are suited to groups of up to 20. Beyond these figures, the venue builds each event to measure with flexible packages.
Catering
Catering is arranged by the venue. Options include a lunch buffet with fresh dishes, snacks such as crostini, bites and a paper cone of fries, a reception with cava, a barbecue and a full buffet. Drinks can be a fixed package or charged by consumption afterward.
History and setting
The Spinola has had its fixed berth in Breda since 1971. Several times a year the team builds a floating festival ground on the water behind the boat for public events such as the Havenfeesten and the Breda Jazz Festival, so private hire dates should be checked against that calendar. The boat sits near the Spanjaardsgat and the Grote Kerk.
Getting there
The venue is within walking distance of Breda station. Several parking garages are nearby. The address is Haven 26, 4811 WL Breda.
