Great experience

What a great day we had yesterday in Volendam and Marken via Social Deal with Rederij Volendam-Marken Express! Due to a long traffic jam we unfortunately arrived later than planned, but Yvette was already waiting for us at Haven 70. She helped us very kindly and clearly explained what we could do to get the most out of our day. Thanks to her we could quickly go to Marken and experience a nice demonstration of a clog maker. Then we walked through the cozy Marken, enjoyed a snack and drink and finally went back to Volendam. Finally, we had another great family photo taken. Truly a day to remember! Super well arranged and highly recommended for a fun day out with the family.

Sailing with Captain Johnny Luknar

we made this trip on our holidays. Captain Johnny made our experience one to remember. He found out we are Canadian and invited us to the bridge. There we talked and compared countries. We joined him once again for the return trip and talked some more. What a class act this guy is, made a memory for my wife and myself.

One of the best experiences of my life

Welcome captain . First of all thanks for great experience that I gain. Captain Luknar it was really pleasure to meet you. Perfect story teller and perfect jokes. When he invited me to the cabin it was unbelievable. U know u can make a plan before trip but you can’t make a plan like that. It is just happened and when something comes to you without your expectation :) And I just learned during the way he knows 8 different languages my first reaction was huh?)) He definitely deserves more than that

Lovely trip!

We had a very nice excursion. Boat ride was calm and slow. Marken is an adorable place to visit, especially if you have not visited Holland before. It’s picturesque, and it’s lovely to walk around the village looking at the unique houses, lovely gardens, and quaint farms. It’s a reminder that life doesn’t have to be as hectic as we tend to live it.

Because we were married for 121⁄2 years we went for a day of volendam, which of course includes the boat trip. I have to say was a really great experience and we had super nice weather.
