Your skipper introduces you to the cruising life, showing you where the village bargains are and pointing out intriguing bits of local lore. You take the helm as much as you like, or relax on deck as the countryside slowly slips by.

You experience Europe in a way few people do far from the tourist scene, in a totally fascinating and relaxed setting. "Vertrouwen" is your floating home as you discover a true slice of European life.
