boat hire in Heerenveen · Aqualine — 42 Ak (2002)

The boat and the team at Yachtcharter 2000 are great. Unfortunately, because we arrived on Friday and booked the driving training course immediately afterwards (which was very good), the boat introduction/explanation was somewhat lost. So we had to deal with a few small and large "ignorances". A manual about the boat would have been very helpful. But we were quickly helped when we asked by phone. The boat is very well equipped, very clean, well maintained for the year it was built and had enough space for the 6 of us. One shower was a bit old and broken, so we had to improvise a bit. Unfortunately, we caught a week of bad weather. On the second day, the V-belt broke. Unable to maneuver, we had difficulty mooring in strong winds, which caused minor damage to the boat (but the charterer was very accommodating). The technician came relatively quickly to repair the boat. Unfortunately, he had to travel twice and wait for spare parts, which meant we lost half a day. To make matters worse, we had to stay in the harbor the next day because of a storm/all bridges were closed. The charterer informed us by email that we were not allowed to leave. We were very satisfied, Friesland is a great area for boating and Yachtcharter 2000 is recommended.
