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 !!

Prachtige vaartocht over woelige baren. Afgewisseld met mooie fietstochten, lang of kort, net wat je wilde. En een bemanning die er alles aan deed om het een fijne vakantie te maken. Het is gelukt. Het was fijn. Hartelijk dank.

WAPEN VAN FRYSLAN perfect formule boat bike. Loveley sailing, good service, crew fantastic.

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….

Captain Eric, Jule, Lewa, and Anita of the good ship Wapen Fan Fryslan were terrific, helpful, and very kind. It is their home and they welcomed us as if we were special guests to their home. The weather on a few days was challenging (rain and, one day, near gale-force wind), but they were always positive and very helpful. The food was terrific and the company of the other guests outstanding. We were the only Americans. All the others were Dutch and German. The bicycles were very good. On the windy day it would have been nice to have an electric bike, but on the other days, ours were fine (my wife and I are mid 60s and good shape – someone who is not should either consider another kind of trip or be sure to rent an electric bike). The islands of Texel and Terschilling were lovely and biking south through Friesland in the latter part of the trip was beautiful. Village after village seemed to exceed the former. So many adventures and a lifetime of memories in one week.

Siamo stati felicissimi dell’esperienza in barca: tutto ha funzionato al meglio perché l’organizzazione è stata impeccabile. Dalla squisita cucina, alla pulizia della cabina, all’organizzazione dei tragitti in bicicletta.

Abbiamo passato una settimana a bordo della ‘t wapen fan Fryslan, una crociera barca più bici di una settimana. Ottima accoglienza, buon clima a bordo. La barca è pulita, confortevole, ottima la colazione e soprattutto la cena. I quattro membri dell’equipaggio sono stati molto cortesi e simpatici e abbiamo fatto amicizia anche con altri passeggeri. Quando possibile si naviga veramente a vela e si può partecipare volontariamente alle operazioni di issare e ammainare le vele. È la mia prima crociera di questo tipo e la consiglio.

super team und schiff auf die t’ watten fan fryslând mit eric. die tour kann ich nur mit den fahrädern und die inseln in frisland sind wirklich schön, tolle combination fahrad und segelboot…

My first tour with Boat Bike Tours was on the sailing ship Leafde Fan Frysland, sailing around the Wadden Islands. Overall, it was a wonderfully relaxing trip with lots of healthy exercise. We sailed between the islands, and had the chance to bike everyday. I loved going off independently, and discovering new beaches and picturesque villages at my own pace. After a day of adventure, it was great to be able to return “home” to my cosy cabin and have a piping hot shower, and unwind with a gin and tonic on the deck. We were so well looked after by Florian, the captain, as well as Silvia and Silvio, our hostess and chef. Every night we sat down to elaborate three-course meals, and Silvio made delicious vegetarian versions for me. My highlights were definitely visiting the beautiful island of Vlieland, and the beautiful sailing trips. One day we even had the chance to help hoist the sails! Highly recommended!
