Ben jij zoet geweest?
One boat, two rooms, one night on the water. Hard techno and hard bounce on the main deck, ZOET by Soft Landing downstairs. For everyone who definitely was not zoet.
Get on
the Boat.
Not a guest list. A passenger list. 450 places on one vessel, and when the last boarding call goes, it goes.
Zoet or Stout?Have you been good this year — or not?
In the Netherlands, 5 December comes with one question everybody grows up with: have you been zoet or stout? We take that question into the night.
Not as a theme, but as a feeling. Zoet and stout become two energies inside the same party, on the same boat. Move between them all night, depending on how you feel.
The Lineup
Five artists on the main stage. International names, high energy, black, leather, chrome and strobe. This is the side of the night where people let go.

You're not locked into one sound for seven hours. After the pressure of STOUT, step into ZOET, then go back up when you're ready. ZOET doesn't compete with the main stage. It completes it.
The darker, louder, more rebellious side. Intense, physical and unapologetic, under red light, steel and strobe.

A softer detour on the same boat. Hypnotic rhythms, playful tension, late-night flow. Room to move, breathe and reset.

Answers
Where do we board?
Pier 14 at De Ruyterkade, Amsterdam, on the IJ side behind Centraal Station. The exact boarding point and times are on your ticket.
Can I arrive after the boat leaves?
No. A cruise has a fixed departure and doesn't come back for latecomers. Arrive early and give yourself time for the ID check.
What music is on board?
Two rooms. STOUT on the main stage is hard techno and hard bounce. ZOET in room 02, hosted by Soft Landing, is tech house, deep house and melodic. One ticket gets you into both.
Is this a Sinterklaas party?
No. The date gives us the question, but there's no Sinterklaas imagery and no costumes. STOUT is an adult, darker take on it, built for the night.
Is there a dress code?
Dress dark: black, leather, mesh, latex details, harnesses, boots, dark ravewear. It's not a strict fetish event. Wear STOUT your own way.
What's the age policy?
18+. Bring a valid physical ID. No ID, no boarding.
How many tickets are there?
The boat holds 450 passengers, and prices go up tier by tier: Early Boarding €23.40 (sold out), Regular Boarding €32.50, Final Boarding Call €40.40. You choose where you buy: our own WeTicket shop (+ €0.36 ticket tax) or Resident Advisor (+ €3.60 / €4.50 ticket tax). Same ticket, same boat.
