With MS Jelmar.

We are pleased to present you with MS Jelmar a boat which was renovated in 2006/2007. Due to that we are able to guarantee a certain comfort and quality on the classic routes in northern and southern Holland. MS Jelmar offers 10 beautiful cabins with two beds at ground level and own bathroom with shower/toilet. Come on board and enjoy! You will feel the “additional quality” immediately. In groups with a maximum of 20 persons we offer Holland tours in the original sense: on a small river boat in familiar and comfortable atmosphere. The skipper and his wife are taking good care of you. A holiday on MS Jelmar is a bike- and boat tour in the Netherlands to feel good and to enjoy!
