We had a great time! The boat arrived on time, the food and drink on board were excellent, and the captain was lovely. My guests from America really enjoyed themselves and thought it was fantastic!
We had a company outing on the BBQ boat, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a lovely atmosphere and the food was delicious. Definitely worth booking for a large group.
We had a lovely trip with our children and grandchildren. We saw lots of things, had some lovely food and, of course, it was great that the little ones got to have a go at steering too. In short, it was brilliant!
A user-friendly website where you can easily combine hiring a boat with a meal and an activity!
Fantastic! Captain Cas gave us a really lovely boat trip!
Fantastic! I’d book it again in a heartbeat. We celebrated my mum’s 70th birthday on De Zonneboot and skipper Koen was so friendly and cheerful. A lovely cruise.
A well-maintained boat with high-quality drinks and snacks. The guide gave us an excellent explanation and lots of historical facts. Definitely recommended!
Brilliant!! It was a fantastic Bachelorette’s party with the stripper. The skipper and the person who looked after us were incredibly friendly!
A fantastic experience for a stag party. It was very cosy for 11 of us. The drinks were really well organised. There was even coffee and tea waiting for us. The skipper was friendly and, despite working a double shift, took the time for a chat at the end. We’ll definitely be back.
Fantastic. We had a wonderful time. The lunch was delicious and the helmsman and cook went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable. All the guests thought it was a brilliant experience.
