Welcome to your stay

Picture yourself on the wonderfully renovated authentic ship on the Amstel River, right in front of the iconic Skinny Bridge in the heart of Amsterdam. Enjoy the panoramic views from the wheelhouse or from the deck with bridge view and experience what it is like to live on a houseboat right in the city centre of Amsterdam! 

Explore your stay

Not only is the ship incredibly convenient, but the location is simply superb. The neighborhood couldn't be more quintessentially 'Amsterdam,' with charming bridges and picturesque canal houses surrounding your floating home. Starting your day with a cup of coffee on the deck, watching the famous Skinny Bridge and swans gliding by, is truly perfect.

Within a few minutes' walk, you'll find several of the city's highlights, such as Rembrandt Square, Waterloo Square, Muntplein, the Flower Market, Royal Theatre Carré, the city hall, and the Opera. A few minutes more and you'll reach the buzzing red light district and the Nieuwmarkt.

Now, let me tell you more about the recently renovated ship. Personally, I love the wheelhouse. Not only for its unique panoramic views but also for the bar I've set up here. It's the perfect place to have a drink with your loved ones while watching city life unfold.

Descending from the wheelhouse, you'll enter the large, spacious living room with an open kitchen. The abundance of portholes creates a cool nautical atmosphere and lets in plenty of light. With the use of natural materials, the place feels warm and cozy. The living room has a comfortable sofa bed for additional guests. The romantic master bedroom is equipped with a large, comfortable double bed.

Though numerous bars and restaurants are within a stone's throw of the ship, you can also prepare a great meal at home. The kitchen is fully equipped with a 4-burner stove, oven, dishwasher, fridge, coffee maker, and kettle. We also offer a washing machine.

The entire boat is equipped with central heating, ensuring you stay comfortably warm even on the coldest winter nights.

Kids are welcome, but please note that we are not responsible for their safety. Staying on a houseboat means there is water all around you. Keep this in mind when booking our boat.

I hope this gives you a great impression of the ship, but don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions. I'm always glad to help!

    Romantic stay!

    Recently we started our holiday in Amsterdam on this beautiful houseboat. Walking onto this vessel was very impressive. Very clean and much more space than I expected. Mathys was there to meet us to check-in, was very friendly and showed us everything. Wifi worked great and it was handy having a fridge in the kitchen as well as the upstairs bar. The location was great, walking distance to restaurants, bars, markets, and shops, yet so quiet at night. The highlight was the romantic drinks at twilight on the deck overlooking the Amstel River watching all the boats cruised past. The overall experience was amazing and would definitely return here again.

    Great location, boat and host!

    My husband and I booked this boat to experience Amsterdam for the first time. We loved that it was a walkable distance to many things, but far enough from the busy streets. The boat is romantic, cozy, has a great internet connection, and has the essentials. It was awesome to experience Amsterdam from a boat on the Amstel River. Mathys is a great host, he was easy to reach out to and was attentive (:

    Nicely finished with lots of space, has everything you need. And the most amazing thing about the boat is the location. Right on the Amstel next to the "skinny bridge." The ambiance and experience of the place are really unique. The boat is also for sale and would definitely be tempted if I had long-term plans in the Netherlands.

    Amazing Experience!

    Having an opportunity to stay on this houseboat was a unique and special experience. The houseboat was comfortable, spacious, and, most importantly, it was located in an amazing neighborhood. It was quiet, quaint, and cozy. Mathys was a great host, and we truly enjoyed ourselves.
