What do our customers say?

RECOMMENDED! A cozy homey ship with a fantastic crew. They took good care of us with food and drinks. All 150 guests had a great time. Because we had two indoor lounges in use, we could dance in one lounge and organize quieter activities in the other saloon. Despite the winter weather, the upper deck, decorated with lights, invited us to spend time there too.

25th anniversary

We had a fantastic day on the boat. A large boat but with a small-scale, personal approach! The staff was extremely friendly, thinking along with you to make the day a success. The boat trip was beautiful, with swimming near Durgerdam as the icing on the cake! The snacks and drinks were delicious. Everything was well taken care of, and all decisions were made through good communication. Highly recommended!

Team outing

The entire team of the ship Stortemelk gave our company (200 colleagues from Germany) an unforgettable day. Although the weather was unfortunately rainy, the atmosphere on the boat made up for it. The personal and friendly attitude of all staff made us feel welcome. We had delicious bites and lunch in abundance, excellent service and at the end of the boat trip a beautiful “landing” at the Muiderslot Castle. We really appreciated the flexibility in the preparations and all desired program changes were implemented effortlessly. On behalf of all colleagues: Herzlichen dank!
