We were able to get married on September 29 at The Sovereign, it was an unforgettable experience for us. The contact with the owner Boudie was very pleasant & everything was taken care of to perfection for us. Our guests loved it! Thanks again so much for making this day so unforgettable and carefree for us!

A very special experience through the Amsterdam canals on the beautiful Sovereign boat we had the pleasure to sail along. There was a pianist on board which made the atmosphere on board extra romantic. The chef Boudie cooked delicious food for us on board and captain Olav told us some fun facts about the history of Amsterdam. We had a very nice evening and recommend it to everyone to sail through the canals this way.

Beautiful boat. The setting is so romantic. The staff on the boat is friendly and polite. The food is really excellent. The piano was played during dinner. We will definitely go out on the boat again. There were also occasional stories about Amsterdam really super fun! Highly recommended.

Joined the music cruise for the 2nd time and what a top night it was once again. One for framing! Everything is so well taken care of by you! Super nice hospitable staff. Where do you get it that even during the polonaise they ask you if you want something to drink and when you return the drinks are ready for everyone! Luc sings great and brings the atmosphere well into it. Food is perfect. In short I with 50% Jordanian blood in my veins can recommend this to anyone. For us it was definitely not the last time. Big compliment to all the staff and many thanks! You guys are all toppers!!!
