Houseboat summary

Make your visit to Amsterdam even more special, stay on your own private motor yacht 'Almaz'. The yacht offers all facilities and comfort and will make your stay unforgettable. A stay aboard the Almaz is a wonderful way to experience Amsterdam. This beautiful ship, a Spiegelkotter, is no less than 12.00 meters long and offers a lot of charm and cosiness. We can accommodate up to 4 guests. You have the whole ship to yourself, you do not share the boat with other guests. Of course, we have strictly implemented all the measures around the Covid19 hygiene protocol, so you don't have to worry about that. 

If this boat is not available, check out our other yachts - Private Yacht 20min from Amsterdam centerMotor yacht Amazone or the The Cozy Amsterdam Motor Yacht. Same location and host.

Houseboat description

As soon as you step aboard, you feel like a real captain, especially when you get behind the steering wheel. And although the yacht will remain in her port - unless you choose to plan a cruise with us during your stay, she will give you a real nautical experience. Not only because of the comfortable ship's interior, but also because of the many birds that swim by and the great view over the water.


The boat offers two bedrooms: the master bedroom with a double bed (197cm x 135cm) at the back of the boat and a second bedroom at the front with a V-shaped double bed (200x140). The master bedroom has its own washbasin with hot and cold water. Of course the boat is equipped with a shower and a toilet, and also with heating.


You also have a kitchen on board to prepare breakfast or a simple meal. But again: who wants to cook in a city with so many great places to eat and drink. And know that in our marina you will also find a beautiful restaurant with a terrace by the water and excellent food and drinks. Everything for a convenient and unique stay in Amsterdam!


The surprisingly large living room has glass all around so you can enjoy the landscape around you: the panoramic view over the water, the famous and ever-changing Dutch clouds passing by, the reflection of the water dancing on the ceiling. No hotel room offers that for sure.

Here is a quick overview of the facilities on board:

  • Free internet on board
  • Refrigerator
  • Coffee maker (coffee and tea is on board)
  • Hair dryer
  • Kettle
  • Cooking facilities
  • Mini-bar (free drinks for the first day)
  • Heating

We also have a small motorboat with which we offer cruises on Amsterdam's canals at a reduced rate. We can send you the possibilities and rates.

    Fun stay in Amsterdam!

    We enjoyed our stay on the Almaz. It was perfect for our four person (2 adults, 2 children) Europe road trip. The boat was a comfortable stay with everything we needed. Parking for our car was right at the dock in a secure lot. The kids really liked sleeping on a boat. Gros was an excellent host. Two thumbs up!
