Step on board and you’ll immediately see why. The shipping company’s vessels, including the nostalgic Ouwe Dirk, are full of character. The open deck, the cosy saloon and the friendly crew create an atmosphere that feels both homely and special. This historic boat takes you through the city centre, past the Dommel, the Dieze and the Smalle Haven. You’ll see Den Bosch as the city was meant to be seen: from the water, where ancient city walls, windmills, harbours and green banks alternate.
What makes Rederij Wolthuis unique is that every cruise is all about indulging in a carefully curated experience. You can enhance your trip with lunch, high tea, high wine, a snack platter or even champagne and caviar. The packages consist of carefully curated snacks, ranging from brownies and scones to sausage rolls, tapas and savoury nibbles, all served as soon as you come on board. The shipping company operates on a simple principle: when you’re sailing, you should be able to relax. You can see that in everything they do.
What visitors particularly appreciate is the tranquillity that the water brings. The pace of the city slows as soon as the engine hums softly and you glide along the Dommel or the Dieze. Den Bosch then reveals itself as the fortified town it was once intended to be: best experienced from the water.
Whether you’re a local looking to rediscover your city or a visitor seeking a unique experience, Rederij Wolthuis offers a combination of history, relaxation and Brabant hospitality that you won’t find anywhere else. A trip on the ‘Het Varend Terras’ isn’t just a boat tour; it’s a day out that takes you to the very heart of the city.
