Woodies at Berlin

Woodies at Berlin – exclusive ship with a view over the IJ

You are organizing an event that needs to impress and run smoothly. Woodies at Berlin offers you a completely exclusive ship on the Amsterdam IJ, with panoramic views and flexible spaces for any business format.

This former Dortmunder has been fully transformed into a characterful event location at the NDSM wharf. You always rent the entire ship: upper deck, lower deck, the hull, and the terrace. This way, you can effortlessly combine reception, substantive program, and concluding dinner or party within one setting.

What makes this location suitable
Woodies at Berlin is suitable for product presentations, company parties, private dinners, drinks, and hybrid events. The combination of two levels, a spacious terrace, and fixed facilities makes it easy to logically build your program.

During the day, you benefit from plenty of daylight and views over the water. In the evenings, the ship transforms into a cozy setting for dinner or a party where you experience the most beautiful sunsets of Amsterdam from the stunning windows and the terrace.
Thanks to the exclusive rental, you have complete control over routing, branding, and content.

Atmosphere & possibilities
The upper deck is the heart of your event. Large windows and the terrace provide light, space, and views of the sunset over the IJ. Here you welcome guests, organize a plenary session, or conclude with a dinner or drinks.

The lower deck has a more private character. The dark, intimate atmosphere makes this space suitable for presentations, workshops, exhibitions, or a party night with a dance floor.

The hull offers a compact setting for smaller sessions, break-outs, or board meetings. This way, you combine content and experience within one location, without any relocations.

Location and accessibility
Woodies at Berlin is located at the NDSM wharf in Amsterdam North. From Amsterdam Central, the free ferry takes you across the IJ in just a few minutes. From the landing stage, it’s a short walk to the location. The venue is also easily accessible by car.

What else to expect:

• Exclusive rental of the entire ship
• Spacious bar and professional catering kitchen
• Sufficient sanitary facilities
• Support with planning and coordination

History
The location is situated at the historic NDSM wharf, a leading shipyard on the IJ since 1922. Here, more than 100 large ships were built and modernized. This maritime history gives the ship an authentic and distinctive character.

Today, Woodies at Berlin is a permanent event and hospitality location at Cape de Groene Hoop. The team actively supports organizers in preparation and execution, ensuring that your program is both substantively strong and logistically sound.
