The experience would have been close to perfect if it were not for a significant problem we had on the boat. My 9 year old daughter hurt herself with a piece of glass, probably a left over from a broken glass or bottle that was on the seat bench in the rear part of the boat. It cut through her jeans and caused quite significant bleeding. Nothing too serious fortunately, but still unpleasant. There was nothing to disinfect on the boat (the emergency kit missed that). Staff on the boat was very polite and did all they could to help in this unfortunate situation, providing what needed with a couple of phone calls in 10 minutes. All was good after 15 minutes a bit hectic and the rest of the cruise was great and everyone enjoyed it. Still... that piece of glass should clearly not have been there.

We tried to rent the Jean Schmitz, but unfortunately they were slow and inefficient in getting in contact with us, and were eventually unable to offer the time slot we had requested.
Instead we booked the Ondine. They were efficient in the planning stage, and excellent on the day: helpful, friendly, and very competent. Our guests said it was the high-spot of our weekend in Amsterdam.
It is unlikely that we will ever organise such an event again, but if we did we would happily use them again, and recommend them to others.

Food was excellent, the captain wonderful and our team (13 men!) had a wonderful time. We checked if we would still go as weather was terrible, but Roel (the captain) was very relaxed about it. This was definitely a good choice and I recommend this ship/captain/organization to anybody who wants to enjoy Amsterdam!

We had a lovely afternoon, a great skipper! (roel)
Roel took his time with the children, explained the 'water rules' and how to twist and turn through the canals using walkie talkie communication :) the kids loved it while the big kids hung out aft enjoying a glass of ros. It costs 'a little' but it was absolutely awesome!

overall we were very satisfied with the service. the captain was very approachable and friendly, so was his assistant.
It was however very plain inside, i thought maybe they could have decorated it a bit more. maybe thats not common with these kind of boats, but its just a thought!?
if we have another function we will definitely consider this boat again.

Very pleasant, the pick up and boat ride was exactly what we hoped for and expected. It was a very nice time. Some guests commented that the skipper was not very friendly and rather grouchy, but the woman on board helping with drinking was very sweet.

Fine boat, friendly staff. Just one medium size table for 11 persons is not enough. Catering not quite okay. Food (Spanish, 44 euro p.p.) too expensive in relation to quality. Bread, olives, aioli, salt and peppar were missing.

Dear crew, we had a fantastic wedding and would like to thank you very much for organizing the wedding transport by boat. We could not have had a more perfect wedding and the boat ride on the Lady Ondine from the church to the restaurant was unbeatable. Thanks so much.

One would hardly expect that a boat that's 100 years old is in such great condition. The owner must spend a fortune in maintenance

What luck we met with Bas at the RAI convention center. The candle light dinner on the Lady Ondine made our business trip to Amsterdam complete. Thanks again and we would already like to book the Ondine for next year.
