Wow, what an adventure you experience on and with the log cabin boat! Sailing yourself and having all the time to yourself. Do whatever suits you, and sometimes we completely lost track of time. A real holiday feeling! The Golden Ham of Land van Maas en Waal is an area where you have plenty of room to get the hang of sailing, with nice restaurants and cafes nearby. You can also go out onto the Maas if you wish. There is also a canoe available, which the boys thought was fantastic!
The log cabin boat is clean, fresh, and fully equipped. You have the option to read all sorts of things and watch videos in preparation via links sent to you at home, but inside the boat itself there is also a magazine where everything—and I mean everything—is explained all over again, along with maps with tips on what there is to see and do. There is also a cool bag waiting for you with washing-up supplies, hand and tea towels, pen and paper, a lighter with opener, a keychain, and mints. Should you get cold, there is even heating! Absolutely everything has been thought of to make you feel more than (warmly) welcome!
All in all, highly recommended!

Hi there
We rented three boats on the Bommelerwaard with our whole family—8 adults and 4 grandchildren—for a long weekend.
Before we left, Inge gave us a good explanation of the boats and the beautiful spots where we could moor.
A beautiful private beach on the Litsche Ham was our first mooring place; the children were immediately out on the water with the canoes and SUP boards.
In the evening, we had a nice BBQ by a campfire. The next day we moored at Alemse Gat; a pair of swans came to meet us, we saw beaver lodges, and Scottish Highland cattle on the banks greeting us.
The day after that, we returned to Litsche Ham to spend another pleasant day there.
Steering the boat becomes second nature very quickly and was very relaxing to do. All in all... a wonderful weekend with everyone that we will never forget.

We went away for a weekend with our family, children, and grandchildren on the log cabin boat. We had rented 4 boats. It was our fourth time, and we wanted to share our amazing experience with our children. Well, we all enjoyed ourselves immensely: boating, canoeing, stand-up paddleboarding, barbecuing, fishing, building a campfire, etc. We attracted a lot of attention from the waterfront and the ferry, lots of waving and taking photos 😂 It was also great fun to moor the boats right next to each other; we walked across the front terrace to meet them. Highly recommended for a family weekend!
Regards, John and Desiree

This fall, my boyfriend and I spent a long weekend away on the Blokhutboot in the Bommelerwaard. And what a unique and wonderful experience it was. I normally never write reviews, but when something truly moves you, you have to share it.
The combination of tranquility, nature, and adventure was truly unique for us. You sail straight from the harbor into the floodplains, where you're literally immersed in silence. With only water, birds, and endless space around you. I often miss this in my (daily) life in the city.
Above all, I was impressed by the dedicated, personal service from Inge, owner and supervisor of the boats in Heerewaarden. I left a day earlier than my boyfriend, which meant I would be steering the boat myself on the first day, something I had been quite nervous about beforehand, being so alone. But Inge quickly put an end to that with her relaxed, patient explanations and humor. She is the epitome of calm and sailed with me until I felt confident enough. So engaged!
She also took the time to discuss my personal sailing wishes and come up with a sort of campaign plan for the weekend. I really didn't expect that at all; normally, you're just another number. That's absolutely not the case here; you really feel like it's a proud and warm family business.
In the end, I found the sailing the best part of the weekend, and my boyfriend barely got a turn… Thanks, Inge 😉 But honestly, being in control of your own "house" and being able to steer it across the Meuse was a fantastic feeling.
Now for the experience itself: I was worried beforehand that the boat might be a bit small for a long weekend, and you're all crammed together, but you really don't have to worry about that here. There's tons of space. The boat is fully equipped and conveniently laid out. I always find it so annoying when an Airbnb has exactly two basic plates and a single knife. Expect a kitchen with a regular stove, a good cheese slicer (I almost wanted to take it with me), a wine opener, several (wooden!) cutting boards, and all sorts of pots and pans, plus several tea towels instead of just one that's constantly wet. They make the boats themselves, and you'll feel that care and attention in many ways.
The beds are also comfortable, the heating is up to full speed in no time, there are several lounge chairs and tables, a spacious toilet, a canoe, and an outdoor shower. The latter is also quite an experience. Straight from your refreshing morning swim, you can jump in the shower and be ready for the day (and instantly feel like you're on vacation/in the great outdoors). I'd love that at home too ;).
What I find most unique: you can choose to moor somewhere where you don't hear or see anyone. Among the beavers, swans, and highland cattle. Just lay out your own gangplank and you're there. Inge gave us extra wood and firelighters, left over from previous guests, to light a campfire and roast marshmallows. The highlight of the first day. Don't forget to keep track of the tides, because you might get stuck (even in the Meuse).
On the second day, we went to soak up the atmosphere in one of the small villages, and then walked back to our floating cottage. (Across a tow ferry, another fun experience). That combination of sailing, being together in nature, visiting villages, swimming/canoeing, making lots of drinks platters, and enjoying cooking and dining together was perfect. Exactly what we needed, and it made us feel like we were away for a week.
Well, I can talk about it at length or briefly: the Log Cabin Boat is simply highly recommended. Anyone can do it, and if not, you have Inge to explain it to you. And such peace, freedom, and space to completely connect with each other in the middle of nowhere is something you don't often experience. It feels like a luxury you can't really buy.
We will definitely be back! Perhaps next time in spring; that autumn glow and morning mist were so fantastic every time.

Last September, my wife and dog and I spent a long weekend in the Biesbosch National Park on a log cabin boat. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were extremely satisfied with the overall package. Everything was spotlessly clean and meticulously maintained.
We're fans and will be back next year👌

A boat trip is fun,
A boat trip is beautiful,
On the river in a blokhut boat,
You can see birds and more. (...)
Our blokhut boat trip from July 7th to 11th on the Linge River was simply fantastic. After the lovely, friendly, and competent briefing by Priscilla, we headed out into nature.
Falling asleep and waking up to the sounds of moorhens, coots, mallards, Egyptian geese, greylag geese, goosanders, cormorants, kingfishers, and many more – that makes any relaxation music unnecessary. You can moor anywhere – where permitted – swim with the feathered friends, or simply sunbathe on deck – with the log cabin boat, you're truly close to nature.
And since we had a fishing permit, we could also fish – another highlight. Driving the log cabin boat is child's play; only mooring takes a little practice.
And true to the Pink Panther's motto: We'll be back, no question!

Fantastic experience! The boat is easy to handle and is essentially a very well-equipped caravan on the water. It's fantastic to have the freedom to sail anywhere and moor (almost) anywhere for an overnight stay surrounded by nature.
