    Wir hatten ein paar sehr schöne Tage mit der Friendship. Das Boot ist sehr gemütlich eingerichtet und bietet alles was man für einen entspannten Bootstörn benötigt. Die Friendship ist sehr gut ausgestattet und lässt sich mit etwas Bootserfahrung sehr gut fahren. Wir wurden sehr herzlich von den Vermietern empfangen und die Übergabe war sehr unkompliziert. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

    Man kann von etwa 5 Liter Karaftstoff je Betriebsstunde rechnen, wir hatten Kosten von etwas über 160€ (Dieselpreis war knapp über 2,7€ pro Liter, da es der gute Kraftstoff sein musste)und waren von Freitag abend bis Montag früh unterwegs, so als Kalkulation für künftige Mieter...., leider kein Toaster vorhanden um Brötchen aufzubacken oder Toast zuzubereiten. Toilette sollte nur dann benutzt werden, wenn keine andere Möglichkeit besteht.
