Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I organised a birthday party for my aunt of 96! years old, together with 10 friends of her on board of the Bolivar. What a splendid party it was! A warm welcome from skipper Jolande Drop with coffee and tea and delicious cake. A short introduction on the history of the Bolivar, a monumental ship and all the wood restauration works done by Jolande herself. Then a tour on the river Eem from Amersfoort till Eembrugge and back. On the way an excellent lunch fabricated by Jolande and all the coffee and tea with biscuits we wanted.
We all enjoyed this special trip, and the 96 birthday girl was happy and satisfied.

Very friendly captain, beautiful restored old boat. We had an excellent afternoon on the Eem.
Jolande told a lot about the ship and about the surroundings/nature. We enjoyed our trip very much!

We had a great, relaxed afternoon on the old boat. Jolande and Hans know the surroundings of Amersfoort very well. The drinks and food were fine.

We booked a "story teller" evening cruise through Amsterdam harbour late september. The Bolivar is a beautiful boat, exploited by a very enthousiastic couple Jolande and Hans.
After a warm welcome with coffee&biscuits we sailed away for our cruise, meanwhile listening to story teller Marin with beautiful fairy-tale like stories.
We had beautiful weather which was a nice extra surprise, but even without that it would have been a trip to remember! Thanks to Jolande and Hans for taking care of us, you will see us again in the future. And also thanks toMarin for his stories.

Highly recommended! In August, we made a 2-day minicruise with Jolande and Hans. It was fantastic. The boat is beautifull and very caracteristic. We sailed to Muiden, Weesp and Nederhorst den Berg, where we've spend the night at the Spiegelplas. They accomodated all our wishes (searched for the best swimming spot for the kids) and Yolande managed to guide us trough locks and feed us (family of four) at the same time. It was a great experience.

Jolande and Hans are the enthousiastic owners of this historic ship. Fantastic boat trip from Amsterdam to Zaanse Schans with 6 friends. Delicious food, prepared by Jolande.

The weather was absolutely fantastic, but even if it wasn't, we would still enjoy every minute of it. The boat is beautiful, attractive and restored in style. The owner, the skipper, was a real power woman. Confident and knowledgeable, hospitable and attentive. Everything was taken care of down to the very last detail. Really a great recommendation.
