The Music Boat features Reinier Sijpkens, the Netherlands’ renowned water musician. On his small boat, “De Notendop,” he installed a compact organ and arranged a mix of classical and modern pieces, typically around two minutes each, combining organ, trumpet, and surprising musical touches that sound perfect in the waterways of Dutch and international water cities.

Over the decades, Reinier has performed in famous water cities worldwide, from Amsterdam, Venice, and Bruges to Japan, South Africa, and China. His performances are interactive, encouraging spectators to join in singing, creating a harmonious and joyful experience for everyone.

This quintessentially Dutch act lasts about twenty minutes and can continue in rain or indoors. When on land, Reinier brings his organ on wheels, along with a collection of bells, allowing guests to participate in a charming serenade, making every show a memorable and immersive musical journey.
