CoupleVerified bookingAug 20255/5Lawrence and the best Frysian captain were are perfect hosts in a beatiful luxurious bought yesterday in SAIL Amsterdam. What an amazing amount of beatiful big sailing boats and myriads small and big boats as well. Our captain navigated us very carefully among all of them. While Lawrence was giving info on the boats but also history tips over AMS, with a tone of humour. We enjoyed the drinks on board and the great company of the other passagers as well. We will for sure recomend the crew!!!!👏👏👏👏👏MMarina K
