Hi there and welcome!
Bookahouseboat.com is the first worldwide rental community, focusing solely on houseboats and floating homes. Our goal is to give you an overview of the most authentic and unique houseboats for rent around the world. Our innovative vacation rental company is located in Amsterdam, houseboat capital of the world. Our office is near some of the famous canals in the 'Jordaan'.
Our Team
The Bookahouseboat.com team consists of me, Peps, 1 of the two original co-founders, and our web developer. We are an enthusiastic and proactive small team that is very customer- and solution focused. We bring a high degree of personalization, along with the focus on high-quality listings, which allow us to become the perfect rental platform for everyone who loves houseboats!
Juul, the other co-founder, owns 2 houseboats; he lives on one himself and the other hosts a 50's style bed and breakfast. Why not rent it some day?
History
We started with 'rentahouseboat.com' in 2013, when Airbnb was only active in the USA and Booking only rented hotels. When the cities didn't yet limit private rentals as much as they can, and tourists were still welcomed with open arms as being 'good for the economy'. How things have changed since then. We survived the terrible travel years due to Covid. And we're now spending more time than ever implementing EU regulations. And hé, at least the EU brought us attached plastic caps on our bottles. Okay, and the Euro, handling 27 currencies in the EU alone would have made our business needlessly more complex, yeah, there are also good things.
So why did we start? Bookahouseboat.com is created through personal expertise and enthusiasm about houseboats. We try to create a high quality booking community for houseboat owners, travellers, and all houseboat enthusiasts out there. So come aboard, and join our community of houseboat lovers!
We hope that you, our valued users, will experience as much fun while staying on a houseboat as we do!
We welcome feedback. If you have any suggestions, tips or improvements, please contact us. Partnership suggestions? Let me know too.
Warm regards,
Pepijn / Peps
