Bavaria 47 with 4 Cabins - Sailing Yacht (2000) - Il moro Amsterdam

Very Good Good day had with Willem. He gave us confidence again for our sailing vacation in Italy. We practiced all kinds of maneuvers. The weather was not very good, but we were able to do some sailing.

Excellent Willem is a fine and patient skipper, extremely knowledgeable and a pleasant conversationalist. Very hospitable. It was a good decision to take one day of sailing lessons before our vacation. First of all, the vacation feeling comes to life immediately, in addition the whole group was given ample opportunity to practice and everyone will face the Greek waters with more confidence.

Excellent Had 2 wonderful days on Willem's boat! How much we learned. The way he explained things, showed us, let us try things was really top notch. He had an eye for all 4 of us and gave everyone room to learn for themselves. Theory was also covered where we got the chance to put it into practice. We felt welcome on his boat from the beginning. It was fun and hugely educational. For anyone who wants to learn to be and/or improve his sailing skills, this is an absolute must!

Excellent For us as a family partly dotting the i's for the more experienced sailors. Especially practicing on mooring in reverse and anchoring. For the family members with less sailing experience also very useful to feel how a larger boat reacts slower to what you do. Everything was explained very well by Willem. And besides the useful also just a very nice weekend. Thanks

Excellent We had 2 wonderful, educational, and fun days on Willem's boat. He taught us a lot and let us do a lot ourselves. Clear and fine tips on motoring, mooring and docking and sailing. Definitely recommended.

Excellent Willem was a very nice instructor. Patient, good explanation and above all he lets you think and do a lot yourself. By making your own "mistakes" you eventually learn the fastest. We would recommend it to everyone.

Excellent

Excellent Beautiful boat and a super captain! We were 3 couples of which 1 person could sail. Pleasant reception by Willem with a discussion of the day. Then sailed to Enkhuizen to eat lunch and walk around. Then sailed back. Willem gives you the freedom to sail yourself and supports where necessary. This was a very pleasant experience, we would love to come back again!

Excellent Because we wanted to get more experience with mooring, anchoring and mooring with anchor (as is common in Greece) we spent a day practicing with Willem, skipper of the Il Moro. We had a great day and learned a lot! Did this course benefit us? Definitely!!! During our vacation in Greece we anchored a lot (weather or not, we were solid as a rock). The course was instructive, pleasant instruction, good guidance. What was unfortunate is that we spent a lot of time sailing from the port of Lelystad to the 'practice' port of Trintelhaven, and therefore probably lost some learning time. Of course you cannot predict the weather in advance and Willem made up for everything with his improvised lunch because we had not read the briefing. A learning course for anyone who is going to rent a boat!!!

Very Good Fine sailing lesson from Willem yesterday. Lots of attention to personal wishes. Mooring is nice to have been able to practice well in a safe setting. Hope this has made me more proficient at sailing.

Very Good What a wonderful day we had on the sailboat with Willem! He gave us and the children of 16 years a lot of instructions and he is very professional. So highly recommended!

Excellent Top sailing day with Willem! Three times is the charm for us because the day was moved twice before due to bad weather. It was more than worth the wait. Fantastic day with good sailing weather and a friendly and very experienced host/instructor. We learned a lot. Willem, with great patience, lets you experience everything yourself because that is where you learn the most. We are now confidently looking forward to the flotilla sailing!!! The preparation with Willem is definitely recommended!

Very Good A bit expensive compared to sailing schools in the area. But absolutely value for money, beautiful boat and good skipper who clearly explains everything and lets you practice. Indeed 30 euro fuel afterwards seemed a bit much to us, we could sail for 2 weeks for that but okay. We are ready for our flotilla vacation!

Excellent Willem prepared us well in a calm and relaxed manner on the most important issues for our sailing trip. We leave for the sailboat in Croatia with confidence.

Excellent Fine boat, quiet skipper who took time to explain everything again. in 1 word TOP

Excellent A day in which everything was right, it may be called. A beautiful yacht and a fantastic captain. We came to learn and to do and we left confidently with enough tips and tricks to join the flotilla next summer.

Excellent educational, fun day

Excellent Very informative and relaxing day!

Excellent Willem is a fine host and gave us many useful tips for our trip in Greece. The atmosphere was top notch and everything nice and quiet.

Excellent Learned a lot from the ever-patient Willem. Reverse mooring, anchor out, sailing, rules on the water. All this on a beautiful Sunday with a nice breeze.

Poor The trip was announced as a romantic Valentine's Day sailing. It should have been announced more soberly. Now the expectations were high which was not fulfilled. Nevertheless, it was an enjoyable sailing day.

Excellent Refresher day in preparation for sailing vacation in Greece. Explanation and coaching by the involved, skilled and sympathetic Willem, it was a great day and we are up to date again. Recommended to anyone who has booked a sailing vacation and wants to brush up on maneuvers, sailing and boathandling.

Excellent Willem did a great job helping us practice for our flotilla trip to Croatia with Mediterranean mooring and anchoring. Also the links helped of YouTube videos. Because there was no wind, we had to pay the cost of motoring, this could be better communicated in advance.

Excellent In preparation for our flotilla vacation to Croatia, the congenial guys at Tubber suggested we spend a day getting some brush-up lessons from skipper Willem. We were supposed to go on a Saturday, but upon arrival the wind turned out to be just a little too strong to practice properly. On Tuesday it turned out to be beautiful weather, the fun could begin! First we had a nice cup of coffee on board to discuss our sailing experience. Then it was to work. Willem gave instructions, we followed them and together we steered the magnificent, enviable boat. Several times reverse parking, anchoring, some questions to see if the theory of the small boat license has stuck a bit, all in a very friendly relaxed atmosphere. Willem really makes you feel at ease, really top notch. After docking at the dock and cleaning up the boat we had a beer to support the evaluation and to celebrate life! Really: this is highly recommended if you are also planning a sailing vacation and want to get a confidence boost so that you start your sailing vacation with a good feeling at Tubber! Thanks Willem for a great day, maybe we can enjoy your company and your beautiful boat again in the future!

Excellent This summer we will join a flotilla in Greece. We are very much looking forward to it, but after not having sailed for a couple of years, we are also uncertain and uncomfortable... So we went out with Willem for 3 days on the IJsselmeer via Tubber and we are very happy with that.

Excellent Had an excellent refresher course tailored to our needs. Willem has extensive experience and can explain it well and lets you practice well yourself. Top day!

Excellent A friendly welcome awaited us that day and over a freshly made cup of coffee a nice introduction. The day went very smoothly. Short explanations prior to each exercise gave confidence in the execution. Fun, educational and a nice piece of reference work for at home. Great!

Excellent Well, start there, 5 women (with sailing experience) wanting to know the real tricks of docking and maneuvering a sharp yacht. Willem calmly gave his instructions. And we were given all the time we needed. The compliments came at the end during the evaluation :) With great self-confidence we are embarking on our own sailing trip! Thanks Willem!

Excellent Want to gain more confidence as a novice skipper? Then I have recommendation. Willem calmly explains all boat handling, lets you practice endlessly. He also pours delicious coffee and likes to tell about his experiences at sea. Experiences with pleasure boating as well as commercial boating. Enjoyed and learned a lot. Thanks!

Excellent Had a day of lessons from Willem to prepare for a week of sailing in Croatia. Especially learned the tricks of mooring. Instructor Willem knows how to teach us in a very clear and relaxed way. A great day that was very useful.

Excellent Goal of the course was to master the maneuvering in a harbor, mooring alongside and/or between the poles. Willem does this in a very pleasant / calm manner. Can recommend this day to anyone. Only downside if I can name one is that the fuel is not included in the pretty hefty daily rate. Had expected this.

Excellent The purpose of our booking was to teach our daughter the intricacies of cabin yacht sailing. With Willem you are in good hands then. Friendly, calm and educational! In short, highly recommended!

Excellent It was very instructive, prior to the Flotielje, to spend a day sailing with Willem. Very much benefited from his tips.

Excellent Excellent preparation we had with Willem for our Flotielje vacation. Practiced all kinds of maneuvers, making us feel more confident about sailing a big ship.

Excellent It was a nice day with Willem, Willem taught us the tricks of docking and mooring and especially easy reverse mooring. A nice refresher course in a very relaxed atmosphere.

Excellent We had booked a day on the cabin boat with coach/skipper to learn and gain experience on the IJsselmeer for our sailing trip in Croatia. And we more than succeeded. A very kind, competent and hospitable skipper who taught us a lot with a lot of patience!

Excellent Super nice day had. Very clear explanations. Gained a lot of humor and confidence. Thank you Willem - can recommend it to everyone!!!
