Thales is a boutique expedition yacht with an adventurous history, the ideal setting for memorable experiences on the backdrop of Rotterdam’s stunning skyline.
An atmospheric venue for your events, exclusive receptions, and private meetings aiming to make a lasting impression, Thales offers a scenic outlook on the city of Rotterdam and its extended waterways. The yacht is a floating oasis of charm and character, suitable to welcome you for leisure or business events in any season or time of day. You can enjoy its strategic location in one of the most characteristic spots in the heart of Rotterdam or hit the waterways for a full-on yachting experience.
The yacht has its permanent mooring address in the Maritime District, on Terwenakker 33, a privileged vantage point overlooking the iconic Erasmusbrug on one side, and the open-air permanent exhibition of the Maritime Museum on the other. The waterway is part of the museum harbor, the original nucleus of the port of Rotterdam, whose navigation is reserved for historical boats. Thales takes its place among these symbols of the nautical roots of the city. Its unique character combines a typical seafarer's grit and rugged industrial flavor with the comforts, glamour, and hospitality of a premium boutique venue. Fully refurbished in 2021 with a focus on prestige and elegance, its new look and feel still embed the local flair for exploration and bravery. The result is a distinctive style that will give a special flavor to your experience on board.
The space offers a unique venue for receptions, as well as full functionality and meeting facilities for small to mid-sized groups. Tasteful interiors, unique artwork, and soft lighting create an intimate atmosphere for leisure as well as business arrangements requiring privacy, prestige, and impact, while a comfortable lounge area and a panoramic deck allow guests to enjoy the best of every season on the Thales.
