Explore your stay

In 2017 we bought the wreck that was on this site. We designed a new ship to live on. By the end of 2018, all permits had been obtained.

The shipyard started construction in mid-2019.

In the spring of 2020, the boat was moved to the Panamakade. By then we had already been working on the construction site for months: on the construction of pipework and floors.

In December 2020 we moved on board, the boat was far from ready. The B&B was only able to open in March 2023, finally finished.

We’ve built a dream completely sustainable, with our own hands. 

We would like to welcome you so that you as well can enjoy life on the water in Amsterdam.

About the area

The Eastern Harbour District used to be the cargo port of Amsterdam. In the 1990's it was transformed into a city district with a lot of housing, offices, facilities, shops and restaurants. It is world famous for its urban plan and architecture.

Nowadays it is a fairly quiet neighborhood with alternating owner-occupied and rental properties. Lots of water (of course) with matching recreation in the summer.

Hi,

I am Gijs. I live with my family on the boat that we built ourselves, except for the hull, which was done by a shipyard.

We are proud to rent out a room, to you?

    Great stay

    The houseboat is fantastic; we had a really great time there. We loved the thoughtfulness of the design and of the whole layout of the boat. Gijs had prepared everything wonderfully, complete with cold beers in the fridge and a nice welcome notice. The location is perfect. We used the two bikes a lot; thanks for this nice extra! Unfortunately, we never met our host, but the communication was really smooth.

    Great stay!

    We enjoyed our stay on the houseboat. Everything on board is shipshape and well planned, with all the amenities we needed. It's in a quiet area yet close to shopping and multiple buses and trains that reach downtown in minutes. Gijs provided bikes for us, which made getting around town easy, efficient, and fun. I highly recommend this place if you're visiting Amsterdam!

    Perfect Unique Accommodation

    Gijs has thought of everything, and the boat is extremely well designed and has everything you could need. It is spotlessly clean and comfortable. The boat is moored in a perfect location, quiet but just a short bike ride into the centre, and having the bikes included is great. Would recommend to anyone visiting Amsterdam.

    Wonderful houseboatShow original

    We spent three nights in the houseboat and were in Amsterdam for King's Day. The boat leaves nothing to be desired, and the included bikes are perfect for exploring the city. Gijs is a very accommodating host; there were coffee capsules in the room and a selection of local beers in the fridge. We would highly recommend the accommodation to anyone.
