“Sailing seven sloops together across the Amstel with our whole party was the most special moment of the day. Marieke van der Berg had matched the fleet layout perfectly to who wanted to sit with whom.”

Pieter K.

“We sailed along smaller canals a large ship could never reach, a genuinely different side of Amsterdam. The boathouse with its wood stove was nicely warm for dinner afterwards.”

Suzanne D.

“Thirty guests split across the sloops felt intimate, each sloop had its own vibe along the way. When light rain started, Marieke had rain ponchos handed out for every boat in no time.”

Jasper R.

“We had seventy guests, meaning eight sloops, which made the logistics fairly complex. Marieke, who took the yard over from her parents, knew every sloop and skipper personally, which was reassuring.”

Eline V.

“Unlike every other boat venue, no hall on board but a genuine flotilla. The boathouse as home base worked well as the departure and arrival point, though for larger parties I'd want more room.”
