We have enjoyed ourselves during the round trip on one of your boats. The combination of the nice weather, the hospitality aboard, the pretty boat and the enjoyable skipper was a breath of fresh air and offered us and our friends a couple of great hours. We will keep this boat trip in mind when we want to go on a trip with other friends.- Jaap en Tine Bout
