Friendly and helpful staff, good organising, food, company, weather, scenery, safe and quiet paths, everything was perfect.

Velosophie – cycle holiday was already for the second time with a groupe of 14 people on the Friesland-Tour on the Lena Maria boat. We have had a very windy week. The crew around the skipper Eelke was very efficient. So the tour was proposed they other way around, so that we could go to the island of Terschelling, which is absolutely worth to go there. Time on the boat, time on the bicycle, with at the end of the day a good meal an a good bed. Thanks a lot for this week. Monique

The fantastic crew and the well-appointed boat, the Lena Maria, made all the difference during a pretty wet week. Routes were reorganised, clothes dried, lots of litte nibbles and other touches and wonderful food.

We didn’t know what to expect. What we had was a great trip to Friesland. Lena Maria had large cabins, where we were very comfortable all week. Up top, places where you can gather for meals, and meet passengers from around the world. The unusual weather (rain) had Captain Eelke adjust to our starting location, and ride maps, daily. The GPS app was accurate and easy. Food was great, and as a vegetarian, it was some of the best I’ve had! Ample snacks and desserts made sure we were ready to go riding, every day. If you’ve never seen a boat, sail through a cornfield, while riding a bike past a windmill, well…. here’s your chance. Thankyou Eelke, Monique, Reuben, and Glenn.

Captain Conny, Chef Eva and their efficient crew were excellent. They ran the most excellent ship, and also were so personable. It was easy to ask for needed items or services; we knew that the ship and kitchen are in expert hands!

Great vacation, good service, clean and nice and good food.

We are still on cloud nine after our trip on the Lena Maria through Friesland and Terschelling. I don’t know where to begin without writing a novel. From sun up to sundown day in and day out, this was a trip that was full of amazing experiences. The food, fellowship and good times were all top notch. Hats off to our Captain Eelke and his entire crew for making this our new favourite way to visit The Netherlands!!! We will be back for another tour!!!

Had a wonderful time on the Lena Maria last week. The crew was so friendly and helpful. Roos and Lena were excellent in serving in housekeeping and made sure you had everything you needed. Laars did a fantastic job making sure we were well fed with his culinary expertise Ilkea was the best captain and maneuvered the boat expertly through the canals and lift locks. Enjoyed every minute of it

Friesland is a very beautiful area. The boat Lena Maria is a small boat with around 22 passagers and only 3 persons were managing our travel. The skiper, the cook chef and a young lady. They made a tremendous job, team spirit was excellent. The cook was really great and inventive. Crew was always calm, helpful and nice. Travelling in such conditions is fantastic, much better than on a bigger boat and less formal. We really felt free. Thank you for this tour

We love BoatBike tours and were happy to see a new one. The Lena Marie is a smaller ship which means a more homey atmosphere. Also very comfortable cabins with enough storage space and room for two. Meals were healthy and delicious. The bike tours well organized with tips on what to see and choices for shorter or longer routes. We missed the evening guided walks around the villages we docked in. Some strong winds pushed me to ask if there was an extra e-bike available. There was! The whole crew was very welcoming and helpful. And the scenery is as always, fantastic! The bikes are comfortable but heavy. Since we live far away, we can’t bring our own. We recommend this tour.
