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?

    Loved our stay

    Gijs was an excellent host, and the boat was warm and cosy, and the bed was so comfortable. We had everything we needed for our stay in Amsterdam, close to trams and buses, far exceeded our expectations!

    Great Stay

    We had a lovely time on board the boat. It was great and perfectly laid out with everything we needed. We had stayed in the centre of Amsterdam the week before, so it was great to explore a different area. It was easy to get to the centre if you wished, with a short walk to bus or tram stops. Overall, it was a very enjoyable stay.

    Amazing Stay!

    Although it was a short stay, my friend and I really enjoyed our time on the boat. Good location, very clean, and a great host!

    perfect stay

    We will be back! We had an amazing stay with amazing weather on the Sustainable Boat. Everything you need is there. Two bikes (the only right way to move in Amsterdam), a coffee machine even with coffee pots (we brought our own), fridge with some cold drinks, bed with only one blanket (if you are friends), a shower with a hair dryer, etc. If you need to park your car, Gjis will help you with some info. At last, we met Gjis shortly before departure; we felt welcomed the whole trip. Cheers

    Lovely and spacious!

    We would love to come back again :) An easy and short ride into the middle of Amsterdam, but far enough removed from the craziness for a peaceful night's sleep. The place was very clean, and the amenities were perfect for a short stay. We loved feeding the duckies. The bed was soooooo comfy, and the shower was good too. We didn't realize two bikes were available to use, but that would've made it even better. We were surprised my 6 foot 5 boyfriend was able to stand up with extra headspace, so that was a nice surprise haha. It was lovely to wake up to the water and ducks, and having a storage space to leave our bags in as we had a later flight helped us immensely. One of the best places I have ever stayed.
