Hen and Stag Packages
The RIB Package
Forget the pink veils or the tacky ties. In Rotterdam, we celebrate the final days of freedom with fuel, gale-force winds, and a healthy dose of cynicism. Whether it’s for the bride or groom-to-be: we’ll make it an unforgettable mess.
. The “Warm” Welcome (The Block Vest)
Forget fancy, streamlined life jackets for the bachelor. While the rest of the group looks slick, the lucky one gets hoisted into a delightfully clunky, bright orange block vest.
The Marker: The bachelor is handed a waterproof marker. The mission? Random passersby and harbor tycoons must sign the vest with marriage advice, cynical one-liners, or “good luck” wishes. In this city, the unfiltered truth comes free with the vest.
2. Onto the Maas: Speed & Challenges
We hit the water for a tour through the world’s largest port.
Full Throttle: We alternate between high-speed blasts and cruising past the iconic skyline.
You Call the Shots: The group chooses from a list of challenges for the bachelor to complete (think: “selling” the Erasmus Bridge to a tourist or singing a tribute to the Harbor Vocational School). The skipper will navigate you to the spots where the action needs to happen.
3. Docking at Pont010: Pints & Grub
After the adrenaline, it’s time to refuel. No fiddling around with Prosecco here—just cold pints of beer (or wine for those who prefer).
The Basics: A hearty burger lunch or dinner accompanied by several rounds of beer/wine.
Upgrade to the “Old Dutch BBQ” (+ €20.00 p.p.): The bachelor has to roll up their sleeves. We provide the private BBQ; the bachelor is the chef.
The Menu: 2 chicken satays, shashlik, burger, spicy BBQ chicken sausage, pasta salad, baguette with butter, and various sauces.
The “Fine Print”
Fixed Times: This package is only available during our designated time slots.
Customization: Want to sail at a different time? Simply book a regular private trip and add the BBQ as an upgrade.
Drinks: Extra thirsty? Additional drinks can be ordered at Pont010 and settled on-site afterwards.
Booking: For groups up to 13 people, you can book directly online. Larger group? Send us an email with your preferred date, time, and mobile number, and we’ll provide a custom quote.
Example challenges
De “Niet Lullen Maar Poetsen” Opdrachtenlijst
Voor op de RIB-boot:
De Havenmeester-Groet: De vrijgezel moet in zijn blokvest Voorop de RIB gaan staan en elke kapitein van een binnenvaartschip die jullie passeren groeten met een overdreven saluutsalvo en de kreet: “Schipper, mag ik overvaren?”
Liefdesverklaring onder de Erasmusbrug: Wanneer de schipper langzaam vaart onder de ‘Zwaan’, moet de vrijgezel een lofzang van minimaal 1 minuut zingen over de aanstaande echtgenoot/echtgenote. Hoe harder het galmt tegen de brug, hoe beter.
De ‘Hand-over-Hand’ Inspectie: De vrijgezel moet bij een aangemeerd schip proberen de staat van de romp te “inspecteren” en de bemanning op de kade luidkeels (en ongevraagd) voorzien van technisch onderhoudsadvies.
De Haven-Lobbyist: Voorbijgangers of bemanning overtuigen dat de haven de meest romantische plek op aarde is.
De Handtekeningenjacht (Water-editie): Bij elke stop die de schipper maakt bij een andere boot of aanlegplaats, moet de vrijgezel proberen een handtekening van een andere schipper of toerist op het blokvest te krijgen.
De schipper bepaalt de volgorde van de vaar-opdrachten op basis van de drukte op de Maas.
Voor in de stad:
- De Markthal-Makelaar: De vrijgezel moet in de Markthal proberen om 5 toeristen ervan te overtuigen dat het blokvest het nieuwste mode-item van de Rotterdamse Fashion Week is. Bonuspunten als ze een selfie met de “trendsetter” maken.
- De Kabouter Buttplug-Bekentenis: Ga naar het beruchte beeld van Paul McCarthy. De vrijgezel moet daar aan voorbijgangers uitleggen waarom dit beeld de perfecte metafoor is voor de taakverdeling in hun aanstaande huwelijk.
- De Koopgoot-Concertzaal: De vrijgezel moet in de Koopgoot een “vrijgezellen-protestlied” zingen tegen de inflatie van de bierprijzen, in ruil voor handtekeningen op het vest.
- Stadhuis-Strategie: Ga naar het Stadhuis op de Coolsingel. De vrijgezel moet aan een wildvreemde vragen of diegene hem/haar wil “redden” van het huwelijk door direct een bezwaarschrift in te dienen.
- De Patat-Proef: De vrijgezel moet een ‘patatje oorlog’ bestellen bij een lokale snackbar, maar mag alleen afrekenen als de medewerker een huwelijksadvies op het oranje vest heeft geschreven.

Rotterdam’s Most Wanted: The Hideous Vest Challenge
The RIB Package
50 minutes of cruising the Maas, followed by Pints and Bitterballen.
This package is for groups who like to get stuck in. We’re hitting the water for an intense session on the Maas, followed by the classic combination of “liquid gold” and piping hot snacks at Pont010.
The Program
The Welcome: The group gets modern life jackets; the bachelor gets the iconic orange block vest.
The Marker: Don’t give the bachelor a chance to escape; that vest needs to be covered in cynical Rotterdam marriage advice from total strangers before the trip is over.
50-Minute RIB Experience
Go: We open the throttle for the real deal, weaving between massive seagoing vessels.
See: We slow down at the highlights for the necessary photo ops (with that block-vest clown right in the middle).
Do: The bachelor performs 3 challenges from the boat (choose them from the list below). The skipper knows exactly where to cut the engine for maximum audience engagement.
The Wrap-up at Pont010: Beer & Bitterballen
After 50 minutes of bracing fresh air, we dock at Pont010 for the ultimate Rotterdam reward:
The Bitterballen: A generous platter of piping hot bitterballen (watch the roof of your mouth!).
The Liquid Gold: Includes two pints of beer per person (or wine/soda for those who prefer).
After-Drinks: Extra thirsty? Additional drinks can be ordered on-site and settled afterwards.
