Where Amsterdam Connects on water.
A community of boat owners and water lovers shaping unique experiences on and around Amsterdam’s canals.
What We Do
Amsterdam is built on water, yet until now, there hasn’t been a real community shaped by it.
Marée Circle brings together people who feel connected to the water, whether you own a boat or simply love being near it.
We organise gatherings that feel cultural, intentional, and social. From music evenings and film nights by the canals to island getaways only reachable by boat.
The circle is more than access to events, it’s a way into a network and a lifestyle shaped by the water.

The Circle
You don’t need to own a boat to be part of Marée Circle.
Some of us do, others simply love being near the water.
What connects us is the same thing, a shared appreciation for culture, good conversations, and the city’s slower rhythm.
To hear when we gather next, join the circle and help us shape a community that feels personal, welcoming, and truly yours.
A symbol of Belonging
Constantin Nautics × Marée Circle
Our partnership with Constantin Nautics celebrates craftsmanship and connection.
Their bracelets, made from recycled sailing ropes are sustainable and carry a story.
To celebrate our first gathering, we gifted these bracelets to the participants who were part of that moment.
They symbolized more than just a gift, they represented belonging, connection, and the shared rhythm of our community.
Future collaborations will continue in this spirit: thoughtful, limited, and meaningful.
They are not guaranteed, but rather, moments to be discovered.
A note from Our Founder
A note from Our Founder
I’m Marina, and maybe with a name like that, water was always meant to shape me.
Marée didn’t start as a business.
It started as a way of living.
For the past few years, my partner, Jakob, and I restored old boats, making them electric and quiet.
Being out on the water, we discovered just how different Amsterdam feels: calmer, softer, almost like it belonged to us.
Yet, everyone seemed to stay in their own circle.
There was no real community.
Just quick glances as boats passed.
Marée Circle is my way of changing that. It’s the rhythm we found and now, we want to share it.
