The people behind Eurosail Travel
Eurosail Travel is a young company, built by people who for many years were literally at the helm on the different barges – and sometimes they still are. They are the people who built the barges. These years of experience and commitment are reflected in every detail and guarantee that your vacation will be a pleasant one.
Eurosail Travel is a new association between two familiar faces in the world of bike & barge vacations: WRM and Eurosail.
WRM is a company that has built and managed barges for many years now. At this moment, WRM has four barges: the Anna Antal, the Liza Marleen, the Wending and the Sailing Home. Harry and Cordula Paques are the driving force. Harry has been active in small passenger cruises for over 25 years now; first as captain, later as builder and manager. Together with Cordula he rules over four characteristic passenger motor barges.
Eurosail manages two barges: the Fleur en the Iris, both precious jewels designed by Jossie Verkerk. You definitely recognize her ‘female touch’ by the tasteful interior as well as her sharp eye for detail. Jossie has earned her stripes as an organizer of bike & barge vacations in and outside the Netherlands and has made many friends in the process. Together with Reint Dragt, the captain and host of the Fleur, she will continue to manage the Iris and Fleur. However, she will also be wielding the scepter behind the scenes at Eurosail Travel.
The crews of the barges, always friendly
It depends on the tour you choose which captain, cook or guide will be on your barge. But you can be sure that you will always meet skilled and enthusiastic people. The cooks will surprise you with special dishes, always made with fresh ingredients.
During your bike trips you will be accompanied by an experienced guide, who knows the region well, speaks the local language and who will show you the sights with a great deal of enthusiasm.
The skipper will give you a warm welcome aboard and be more than happy to tell you about the charms of boating.
In short, the crews on the barges of Eurosail Travel will do everything they can to exceed your expectations and make your vacation pleasant and a very memorable one.
