Coinciding with the METSTRADE Show in Amsterdam, STP Shipyard Palma offered a dinner for captains and partners organised jointly with Nautipaints. 

This collaboration, that is now in its third year, brings together STP and Nautipaints friends who are visiting the trade show in the city, with the sole objective of spending an enjoyable time together, away from meetings, conferences and visits to client and contractors.

The dinner, on board a modern boat with futuristic exterior lines, permitted guests to discover the city’s canals and admire the dexterity of the captain who operated this boat. Their skill in manoeuvring round bridges and some stretches that were so narrow there was not even space for a rope to fit between the boat and the canal side was most impressive. 

The BBQ served on board was the perfect accompaniment to this trip, that turned out better than could have been imagined. Great Amsterdam weather, an open-top boat, illuminated canals and good travel companions were all contributing factors that made this dinner a memorable event, to such an extent that those attending, in grateful appreciation, are hoping for a repeat next year.
