Wan-Hoop

The boat is a so-called Rietaak, built in 1913. Until 2003 this ship was used to cut and transport reed rushes and brushwood on a daily basis. Jan Soecker has been the proud owner of this cultural heritage since 2004. After a long and costly renovation, this ship, with the explainable name "De Wan-Hoop" was put into use in 2010. First only for private use. Jan has made adventurous voyages with his ship; via the inland waterways, and the record number of 837 locks, the South French port city of Bordeaux reached the Moselle, Saar and the Rhine and in 2015 visited Germany, far beyond Berlin, at the Polish border. Now the ship is ready for a new destination in the Netherlands. The "Wan-Hoop" is used for all kinds of purposes, but Jan has specialized in offering pleasure cruises and taking care of the ashes of your loved ones as well as your beloved pets. Jan keeps the costs low; rather small-scale, but with 200% satisfied customers! "When my customers are satisfied, I have a "golden day". Making people happy and can help them fulfil their ultimate and special wishes give me enormous satisfaction". PLEZIERVAART From the water there is much to see and experience. A beautiful trip through the Amsterdam canals, over the IJ or to the Zaanse Schans and its beautiful classic old Dutch windmills; it's all possible. Enjoy all the beauty that the Netherlands has to offer without worries. The world looks beautiful from the water. Skipper Jan will gladly show you all the beautiful spots. "De Wan-Hoop" sails from 2 o'clock, with up to 12 people, from any place in Amsterdam. There is a large cool box available, which can be filled to your personal wishes. Own catering is also allowed. There is no toilet on board, but there is a bucket (bucket moments are possible!).
