BAAI in Breda west

Yes, we were a crew of seven on the high seas with Captain Koen. Three pirates tried to board us, but Captain Koen was able to fend off the attack with skillful ship maneuvers. The three pirates got scared and tried their luck with weaker vessels. Drinks were constantly available, so no one on the crew went thirsty. Captain Koen catered to every individual request of the crew and made the trip an unforgettable experience. The cultural insights into the beautiful silk city of Breda were also of great intellectual value. Docking at the pier was always absolutely seamless; sailing under Captain Koen feels like flying.

On the last evening there was a pub quiz. Very busy and not that big, so it was very crowded, but very cozy. You have to get your own drinks and such.

Had a wonderful time boating on the inland waterways of Breda.

Went to a salsa party and didn't eat there.

Nice place to grab a beer and connect with people.

Great location to have a cold one on a hot day

Unfortunately, it closed before 11:00 PM even though midnight was indicated. It was quite full and super fun.

They closed at 11 instead of 12, even though there were at least 40 guests. A shame.

On Friday, they just closed at 10:30 PM even though it was packed. Completely surprised, misled, and above all...scammed😥

Had a delicious lunch, nachos highly recommended!! Nice seating and nice and quiet.

You get an answering machine, but you don't get a person on the phone. That obviously doesn't work for reservations. It would be helpful if there was also a line for special requests.

5 stars for the boat trip with Victor!! Thanks :)

Strandclub Vibes. Nice, hip spot. Pleasantly busy. Live music and DJs. Unfortunately, renting a sloop is ridiculously expensive, and the snack platters on the sloop are even more expensive, meager, and substandard.

Very nice to have drinks by the water.

Nice place with good food. Perfect for a company outing.

We were here for a birthday. Great service and very pleasant. Later in the afternoon/evening there was also dancing. Very enjoyable.

Been to Baailando. What a fun party with amazing weather🕺💃😎

We rented a small boat here, everything was fine. Nice atmosphere by the water.

Had lunch at this nice location and it was okay. It is a shame, however, that the price-quality ratio here is skewed. For instance, you have to do some self-service here, but the prices are based on table service. The lunch dishes are not distinctive—let's say they are bland in taste—and that is a missed opportunity because it makes them boring and simple. For example, fried mushrooms without any added flavor are simply not exciting. The carpaccio salad was nothing more than lettuce, tomato, and cucumber with the meat on top—no dressing. So the sauce on the meat was insufficient to give the salad any flavor whatsoever. So, it is a pity; this place deserves better.

Had to wait a very long time, 45 minutes, for our lunch, which was okay; a 7 on the scale. The atmosphere and seating are very nice though. Bad service! I would give 2.5 stars.

The lunch boat was a very pleasant experience. We had a nice skipper.

I was there for a company outing. Despite our group, other guests were also perfectly happy to stay in their own private spot. Boat tours are offered there. Unfortunately, they do not include explanations of what the boat passes. There is plenty to talk about regarding the parts of Breda included in the route.

We didn't eat, but it looked delicious. Ideal location in sunny weather.

What a lovely spot by the water with great drinks.

Beautiful location, Caribbean vibes by the water

Terrible service, chaos, long waits. A year (!!!) later, you come back again. Imagine my surprise: chaos, a 45-minute wait for two portions of fries, one of which was cold. My God! #myfirstbadreview (seriously, I have never given a bad review, so here it is).

Lovely location with a nice atmosphere; there is really nothing to complain about there. However, I did find the food a bit pricey for what you get.

Nice place just outside the center. You have to get your own drinks. Ordered food and it took a very long time even though it wasn't busy; the dishes were also very simple, so it shouldn't have taken that long. It was tasty though.

The team is incredibly hospitable and happy to help you plan the best outings to combine with an amazing boat trip through beautiful Breda. The staff is extremely friendly. I received such great help here with the surprise I had planned for my date that a good review isn't really enough to express my gratitude. Thank you Baai Breda! <3

Nice place on the water...and salsa...bachata...and so on....

Very nice place, close to the water. Nice mood and great drinks

Very nice, friendly people, good atmosphere, you can go out on the water with a drinks boat, REALLY recommended

Very nice, friendly people, good atmosphere, you can go out on the water with a drinks boat, REALLY recommended

Very atmospheric place, the food is super, everything is fresh and very tasty! Thank you very much!!!!

We had a surprise party. We had a lunch boat. It was very well-catered for, with sandwiches, sweet snacks, fruit, and drinks. The captain was very nice and enthusiastic. Fantastic!

Unfriendly staff, dull atmosphere and the food makes me sick

Tin and glass on the bike path. Oh dear, another flat tire.

A place to rent boats and a nice place for organized events.

i fell in love in this place, also you can rent a boat there ❤️

They close at 11 p.m. You can't even order a beer there by 10:45 p.m. I thought the people of Brabant were so hospitable.

Only did the boat trip with drinks so cannot judge the food

Beautiful location for a summer day. We moored our boat, enjoyed some tasty snacks, and enjoyed a mocktail.

Rented a 6-person sloop, no license required. Excellent explanation and service, easy to navigate. We received a map with a route that was easy to follow. We even received a container of ice cubes, even though we had our own groceries for the boat. Definitely worth doing again!

Ugh, terrible food Poor communication Clean restrooms Difficult to access for wheelchair users Last time I went, it was a shame because the location by the water would be great

Looks a bit like a beach bar in Gambia!

Salsa bachata, good atmosphere, good music. Excellent cocktails.

Unique location, cozy on the water

Despite the mediocre weather, it was a wonderful place to be. Plenty of choice for seating. The sandwich was truly delicious. Quite spicy, but exactly what I like. A few comments: the sandwich was served on a plate with a decorative paper sheet underneath. Inconvenient. It gets wet, crumples, and tears. That can't be the intention. It didn't detract from the taste of the delicious sandwich, though. The menu also listed a beer with 6.9% alcohol, but it later turned out to be 5.6%. That did influence my choice. But all in all, a nice place with pleasant music to chat and enjoy a quiet moment.

Nice place. Only there's a super computer there. Okay.

Had a nice drink, so you can ignore the food review

It was a Thursday, but everything was full. Only a few standing places remained. It seemed like there were a lot of team-building/bachelorette parties. It's a nice place, though, as you can relax on the lounge sofas by the water with a drink.

Lovely sitting by the water, perfect for drinks with friends.

A really cozy shop with a beach feeling.

Boarding place to sail a boat in the canal of Breda. More of a café with snacks.

Great location by the water, good vibes. Service is slow and seemed overwhelmed with so many people on a warm Friday afternoon. We had to wait quite a bit for our drinks.

The location is good. You sit nicely at the water. And it also looks cozy. The service and the food are unfortunately a lot less. The food is also expensive for what you get. Too bad for such a beautiful spot.

Company outing held here. Very nice location, food and atmosphere were good. Staff very friendly.

Nice place to sit in nice weather

Very nice, cozy spot by the water for a cup of coffee, a drink and a bite to eat. Just relax and enjoy the surroundings.

Nice lounge spot, on the water. Casual atmosphere. Recommended! Especially with nice weather.

The skipper was a friendly and suitable guy. Made a nice trip. Everything was well arranged.

Come with a bicycle or public transport, parking is a challenge..

Cozy place on the water. Enjoy a Breda Jazz performance while enjoying delicious beers on tap and tasty snacks. Come and have a look 👍😃 it’s a place to be and feel good 🎙️🍻🙃

Genoten op heerlijke zonnige avond van een boottocht met schipper Jan Willem die gezellig meedoet. Aanrader voor als je in Breda bent.

Available for large groups and also for small groups

A lovely open-air bar with a beautiful and peaceful view. The staff is friendly, and the music and drinks create a great atmosphere. However, the prices are a bit on the higher side, and they don’t offer Belgian beers or any from well-known brands, which was a bit disappointing as a visitor from Belgium unfamiliar with their selection. It’s best to visit during the summer for the full experience, as it can get chilly otherwise. Looking forward to returning on a sunny summer day to relax and enjoy!

Dishonest owner. We had been given an unmanageable boat. We had to wait an hour before someone from management wanted to speak to us, even though he had been there the whole time. The operator refuses to sail the boat, well then it would turn out that it is unmanageable, and refuses to reimburse us (only the unconsumed drinks were returned). The operator eventually just walked away and then threatened that we should be happy that the deposit would not be withheld.

Great business...!! Cozy atmosphere and fun games.

UPDATE After 2 months and many attempts to finally get in touch with Baai, they are getting their money's worth. The deposit will be refunded, but on the condition that the bad review is removed. Unfortunately it doesn't work that way, if you try to defraud people in advance with bad intentions, you also have to suffer when you meet the wrong person. But Bay, here's an update on your dealings with 'customers'. Rented a boat, bad service. Received poor help and afterwards they try to withhold the deposit. Had a big discussion after she tried to recover the damage that was already present from our deposit. Very bad people. If you want to be treated unfairly, you should rent a boat here…

We did not stay there. We wanted dinner without putting our eardrums at risk :))) Thus we made a turn on our heels ;-)

Had a lovely quiet seat by the water and very friendly service. A gem in Breda.

Plek is leuk en daarmee ook alles gezegd. Eten is dramatisch, tafels vies en worden niet afgeruimd. Uiteindelijk gewoon slecht. Er valt zoveel moois uit deze plek te halen

Prachtig weer, heerlijke boottocht op de singels en de Mark, kortom genoten van de tocht op zich. Ook de ligging van de BAAI is idyllisch en gezellig. Service van de bediening prima, snel en attent. Echter ophalen van leeggoed en schoonmaken tafels etc is wel,voor verbetering vatbaar. Eten meenemen aan boord werd ook netjes verzorgd. Al met al gezellig en een mooi uitje.

Anti-customer policy with their outdoor activities unfortunately

This has been a meeting point for many people since day one. They have a dock and you can rent boats. They organize events and play cool music from time to time. Can be very crowded and noisy st the weekends.

A nice place on the water to have a drink and a snack after sailing/SUPing. Very nicely decorated and friendly staff.

It is a very pleasant place to have a drink or something to eat. Location is great

Very nice place. Went there with nice weather. Nice atmosphere. Unfortunately the food was not purchased properly. What we had was good. But from the strip menu, 4 dishes, there were only 3 available.

Great place to have a drink in the summer sun! Tasty special beers and plenty of snack options.

I can always relax here, sitting on the floating deck with a drink and sometimes a snack! One of my favorite places in Breda!

super nice place to eat and drink! definitely come back here :)

Voor de verjaardag van mijn man een bootje gehuurd en aansluitend hapje drankje gedaan. Mooie locatie, gemakkelijk online te boeken. Goed geregeld en kregen goed hulp om 2 slecht ter been personen in en uit de boot te helpen. Bij de boten voor 6 of 8 -10 kun je zelf sturen wat als cadeau nou juist het leuke was. Budgettair was het ook fijn dat je voor op de boot zelf eten en drinken mee kon nemen. ( Klein tasje blikjes en een doos bonbons is tijdens die 2 uur op het water echt wel goed). Naderhand diverse hapjes en een drankje per persoon op het ponton aan de waterkant. Lekker, vlotte bediening gezellig en goed geregeld. Bestellen aan de bar waar je drinken gelijk mee neemt zelf en hapjes werden gebracht, alleen pin betaling. Al met al een leuke ervaring, zeker voor herhaling vatbaar. Mijn man kreeg eens wat anders dan een cadeaubon of artikel, na 58 jaar is cadeaus bedenken best moeilijk. Maar dit is dus een aanrader!

Street food indeed seemed to have been picked up from the street....

Heerlijke lunch met veel aandacht bereid. Prachtige uniekelocatie aan het water. We kregen meteen een vakantiegevoel

Nice place for a drink. But we found the quality of the food to be mediocre.

We sailed wonderfully, after we had received a good explanation. Ended with a drink in a cozy atmosphere

Cruise with lunch. Joris, the captain, told many facts about Breda in a fun way. Unfortunately we had some rain but plushies and ponchos were provided. A paper plate and napkin with lunch would be useful. And for 8 people it is better to have mini sausage rolls, mini apple turnovers and mini brownies instead of fewer large pieces. Then everyone can just grab something. Everything else is great at the Bay.😀

Nice spot on the water. You can rent boats there. And sit comfortably

Rented a boat for a bachelor party. Unfortunately the deposit was not returned. Baai stated that we suffered damage, while that was absolutely not the case. Update: After a lot of back and forth emails and calls, we finally received the deposit back after more than 5 weeks. All this was a very difficult process.

We had reserved a boat on the spot, at one of their locations a little further away, there was room available in half an hour. We went shopping and had to withdraw money because we could only pay in cash. When we returned, the place had suddenly been reserved by someone else, so we were not allowed. There was an offer that we could sail at the end of the day while they were actually closed. Strange way of doing business... Then we walked to the main location, the lady behind the bar was very friendly and tried to arrange something, but unfortunately it didn't work. Ultimately we went on the cruise, but we were not allowed to consume the lunch/drinks we had purchased and had to pay for the trip by card, because cash was not allowed. Cruise was fine, nice to see the city from the boat, skipper was friendly but didn't know much about the sights. So after the cruise we immediately left to eat our lunch. The tent looked cozy.

Very nice place. Super service around the boat rental!!!

Rented a boat yesterday and had a drink at BAAI. Very nice atmosphere, friendly staff and good help. Would go there again in a heartbeat!

Cozy bar. And a nice boat trip. End of our weekend that was great. 👌

top location, a very holiday atmosphere. drank a drink and ate a snack, Nice occasion,

Nice place, too bad you have to get your own drinks at the bar Food and price very good The atmosphere is great, lovely to sit on and/or sit on, wonderfully relaxing to watch the boats sail in and out

Vrijgezellenfeest heerlijk gevierd via Baai, dank aan ‘kapitein’ Joeri! Heeft er samen met de mannen een mooie 2 uur bootje varen over de Singel van gemaakt!

Nice place to sit. Although it is quite busy during the day with traffic. Food fine, although you pay quite a lot for relatively little. Waiting time for food, even for simple things, far too long. Staff downright disinterested and unwilling to provide any service. Really worthless in that regard

Scammers who have turned groups that are not assertive enough to push back into a business model. Please note that if you want to rent something here, take pictures of all scratches and damage because they will sew you right in front of you (they will report damage to you that was already there or never was).

Boating looks great and fun there

Mojito €11 2 stalks of mint and some ice cubes, cappuccino €3.2 without cookie or anything. Sad money grab
