Woodies at Berlin

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

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

This former Dortmunder has been completely 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 allows you to effortlessly combine reception, content 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 receptions, and hybrid events. The combination of two levels, a spacious terrace, and fixed facilities makes it easy to logically structure your program.

During the day, you benefit from plenty of daylight and views over the water. In the evening, the ship transforms into an atmospheric setting for dinner or a party where you experience the most beautiful sunsets in Amsterdam from the lovely windows and the terrace. 
Thanks to the exclusive rental, you have full 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 reception.

The lower deck has a more intimate character. The dark, cozy 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 the need for relocation.

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, you can walk to the location in no time. The location is also easily accessible by car.

What you can expect further:

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

History
The location is situated at the historic NDSM wharf, a leading shipyard on the IJ since 1922. More than 100 large ships were built and modernized here. 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 your program is strong in content and logistics.
