Winter
Organize a reception, drink or dinner on-board of the Willem Jacob this winter.
During the winter months we’re moored in Groningen in the Oosterhaven. Our spacious day room is equipped with a cosy fire stove and central heating. The ship is exclusively reserved for your party and makes for a special setting. The ship is available for winter rental roughly from November until March.
Do you want to sleep aboard on the Willem Jacob for one or more nights? You can rent the ship as a group accommodation in Groningen. The ship is situated near the city centre, in the Oosterhaven.
The Willem Jacob is a very comfortable accommodation. There is central heating and a fire stove and modern sanitary facilities. There is also board games available. Something special about the Willem Jacob is the big main hold in which you can sleep with 22 people together. Super cosy! For those who’d like a bit more privacy there is 2 two-person huts, which makes a total of 26 sleeping places.
