Two Boats in beautiful surroundings!

Bart is a great host who owns two historic boats that are located right next too each other. We were are group of 13 and together the boats had everything we needed. Just a few things that are not mentioned in the insert (that are not necessarily bad): - on one boat Bart runs a bar at the weekends from 14-18pm and welcomes other guests there - the main boat you stay on only has dry toilets. Normal toilets are only on the other boat - you can’t drive the boats on your own We really loved our stay there because the boat themselves and the landscape around are just beautiful! A unique experience. Can only recommend
