Good trip. Nice boat and bikes. Disappointing amount of hidden charges. I thought the advertised amount was all I had to pay but they kept asking for more money for extra things. Even when they accepted that one of the charges fell outside the terms of their small print they demanded it on the boat causing an embarrassing scene. It tarnished my memory slightly.

Hi Joe, Thank you very much for your feedback. How nice to hear that the ship and bikes were to your liking. We understand that you are disappointed that you had to pay fuel surcharge on board. Unfortunately, this is the reality as a result of political measures and developments as a result of the very regretful developments in Ukraine, fuel prices around the world have risen extremely and unexpectedly. Nevertheless, we hope for better times and hope to welcome you back on board in the future. Kind regards, Team Boat Bike Tours.

My husband and I had a fabulous trip throughout the Netherlands. The ship was beautiful, clean and well appointed. All the staff were amazing! Helpful, friendly, curteous and knowledgeable. We are looking forward to making this a yearly tour!

For the price of the experience to bike and sail around the Netherlands, this experience was excellent. I wish I could bottle up every moment and relive it. I booked this trip knowing Netherlands was flat so I rented a regular bike but be prepared for headwinds and biking up dykes. By the end of the trip I wish I had an E-bike. The rooms are small but again we’re on a sailing ship. During time not biking, we’d be in the city at the port or hanging out on the various decks enjoying drinks and snacks, the rooms are for rest. We did the tulip tour this year and you will see tulips! While biking through country sides you’ll see the tulip farms, windmills, and sheep. Lastly, the crew was amazing. We enjoyed spending time with them and by the end of trip you’ll feel like you’re part of a family, between the crew and the guests. We’re already planning our next boat and bike tour through Germany for 2023.

This was a truly wonderful experience, between sailing and biking. The staff was great on all levels, particularly as I was the only native English-speaker (with no German or Dutch, despiite French and Spanish ;-), and the only person travelling alone. The only concern I voice on a self-guided tour is that people should either be given the basic bike tools (aside from tire repair), or told to bring their own. It so happened that the bike rented had two issues during a ride (screws that needed tightening, making it impossible to continue), and while we managed to find people in a small town with tools, the difficulty could have been avoided had the bike been carefully checked before renting. Tools, in any case, would be a good idea.

Een 8 daagse boat/bike tocht op de Mare van Fryslan! Van het Ijsselmeer naar de waddeneilanden Texel en Terschelling, via Harlingen, Stavoren terug naar Enkhuizen. Alleen maar moois, van uitleg en het mee zeilen tot heerlijke diners, relaxen, wijn, ontmoeten, je zijn, ik ben enorm dankbaar!! Dank aan Joris, Marvin Wiebe en Esther, jullie maakte samen met de zon het verschil ((:

Net terug van een 8 daagse met de Mare Fan Fryslan. We deden de fiets en zeilvakantie Ijsselmeer en Waddenzee. Wat een ervaring. Slow travelling in t kwadraat ! Onthaasten tot en met. Heerlijke ervaring ondanks het mindere weer. Fantastisch team Joris, Marvin, Stef en Stine ! Degelijke, wss nieuwe fietsen. Lekker ontbijt/lunchpakket. En ‘s avonds heerlijk diner. Bij terugkomst van fiets had Stef steevast wel iets gebakken of klaarstaan. Flink wat bijgeleerd over het zeilen en varen, bedankt Marvin en Joris. Voor Stine was niets te veel. Altijd met de brede glimlach !! Kortom : EEN AANRADER !!

Netherlands: Wadden Sea on the Mare fan Friesland: My friend and I had a marvelous time on this beautiful boat. We were on a self guided tour and we loved it! The maps they give you to download in advance are the only support you need to make it back to the boat. The Crew was great, especially the newbe of the group Teame. It was his first week and he learned quickly!! Very friendly and attentive to all of us! I enjoyed the whole crew from the Captian Joris, our cook Stef and our first mate Marvin. The weather was supposed to be rain and more rain, but we got a surprise every day of beautiful weather. My favorite thing on the boat is the self serve Bar. Thanks for a great week!!

Aanrader, wat een superweek op de “Mare Fan Friesland”. Zeilen, fietsen en een bemanning vol gastheerschap. Wat is Nederland toch mooi….
