Events and incentives on and around the water

Dutch explorers

It has always been in our blood: as early as the sixteenth century, Dutch explorers went in search of new countries and cultures. And they did so, how could it be otherwise, by sea.

Original incentives

Because water gives space. Water is life. And water connects. It has connected countries, continents and cultures for centuries. And at Sailing Dutchman it connects people, through special company outings, surprising concepts and original incentives to the most beautiful places.

Full service events agency

Whether it's an event, incentive, staff trip or meeting: Sailing Dutchman guarantees surprising locations and extraordinary activities. And as a full service events agency we take care of your event from start to finish.

Team building on the water

Enjoy the vastness of the water with your group. Let yourself and your team be inspired by the beautiful surroundings and achieve unexpected results. The combination of sailing, teambuilding and meetings on the water is guaranteed to be a great success. Because sailing gives space to think, brings out the best in you and promotes team spirit! Would you like to experience it too? We will gladly arrange it for you.

Je hebt “buiten de bebouwde kom”, “achteraf”, “afgelegen” en “in the middle of nowhere”. Maar deze ongelofelijk mooie locatie in Schotland verdient een compleet eigen categorie. Heel erg bedankt voor het vinden van zo’n mooie plek en de organisatie er omheen.

That is not possible' is not in Ilmar's vocabulary. Thinking differently, what is possible, being flexible and creative, how can we make a big impact with limited resources? That is what you need in uncertain times like these. Ilmar and his team have put down a great achievement: a Springtij Forum at one and a half meter distance where the unique Springtij feeling was guaranteed; three days full of inspiration, unexpected encounters, nature experience and reflection.

Esther Tamboer

Springtide forum Terschelling

The weather at Springtij this year was probably symbolic for the uncertainty that the organization had to experience because of the Corona measures. Despite the setbacks, they managed to deliver a successful and above all safe edition. All aspects had been well thought out: the intimate Forum Village with numerous smaller tents at a distance, local refreshments, the online registration of the sessions, the distribution of meals... I especially felt the deep gratitude of all participants that especially in this time, despite the autumnal weather and Corona headwind, we were still given the opportunity to meet and inspire each other. This enduring togetherness gave strength to our common voice!

Helga van Leur

By combining wind, water and inspiration we had a beautiful and full day. Nothing left to chance.

Rieuwert Scholten

We got to experience the real Norway. In fact, a number of locals were surprised to see us at some of the locations we visited. They were impressed we were able to find some of the hidden gems of Norway.

Mel Durham

If only I could give six stars! We went with our company 3 days to Terschelling. This organization is really customer-oriented. So are all the people who work with them (catering, activity leaders, bus drivers). Clearly with care chosen partners and a program that totally fits our needs! Everything we asked for in between was arranged immediately! Undoubtedly the best events agency I have ever gone with!

Weekend sailing at Mallorca .... you can do worse with your colleagues! Well-groomed trip and activities. Inspiring environment in which we could finish some excellent meetings. Sailing Dutchman thanks for excellent organization. Will definitely come back.

We asked Sailing Dutchman Events to organise an inspiration session for us in the context of brand perception. They organised for us an unforgettable trip of 4 days to the island of Islay (the southernmost island of the "inner hybrids of Scotland"), the Mecca of the whisky lover. We can say that it has been a great inspirational trip for us. Informative and certainly also very nice and pleasant. Highly recommended! Thanks for the fine organisation. We could never have arranged this ourselves!

Alfred Echten

Excellently organized two-day corporate event on Terschelling hosted by Sailing Dutchman. Very involved and flexible organizer. Adjustments/improvements to the program were also made on the spot. Class and highly recommended!

Herman Carpenter

We have been on a lot of trips and winter sports, but have never experienced a trip with so much variety and experience. It doesn't get any better than this! Because of the personal character and unique and inspiring people we work with it was just a unique experience!

Jaap Rumph

CEO Keur and Rumph real estate

Fortunately there are people like Ilmar from Sailing Dutchman Events. People who find places that are very special and nobody knows them. Places where you just say "wow" softly.

Bas Westerweel

Listen carefully to the question and come up with a solution that exceeds expectations.

Sailing Dutchman is the address for all our incentives and events. From Christmas drinks to sailing in the Mediterranean. Every time again we are surprised!

Gerrit Reinders

CEO Adcombi

No event is the same with Sailing Dutchman Events. The professional team provides a unique nautical experience. With authentic locations on and around the water you will be surprised again and again. Several times this has led to a successful collaboration!

Femke van Straten

Manager Hospitality Sail Harlingen

Had a great 5 day sailing trip with Sailing Dutchman to Ibiza. I'm still enjoying the afterglow, top organized and still have all the freedom for my own input, even during the trip. Ilmar and team thanks again for the great time. Was a trip never to forget.
