Houseboat summary

Welcome to Amsterdam, and welcome to our charming houseboat, right in the middle of the city centre. Sit back, relax and enjoy the most wonderful view over the river. And once off the boat, you will find everything you need within just a few minutes walking. The Rembrandt Square is literally around the corner, and the famous Waterloo Square, Rembrandt House and countless great restaurants and bars are located within a stone's throw distance. 

Houseboat description

Once aboard, you will feel that this is quite something special. We're pretty sure that no hotel can match this traditional houseboat experience right in the middle of town. The place has central heating so it is comfortable all year round. The bathroom has a comfortable shower with thermostat faucet and a toilet. Linen is provided as well.

The bedroom offers one double bed and one single bed, and in the living room is a sleeping couch. In total we can accommodate up to four persons. 

The accommodation is located on a traditional ship, resulting in a design that follows the shapes of the vesssel. This means that the ceiling has limited height, something tall people might consider. Most guests however appreciate the unique atmosphere the Captain Rembrandt has to offer. Especially the bedroom offers lots of character thanks to the cozy timber work.

The living room is really cozy, a great place to relax and snuggle up to your beloved one. Watch the large flatscreen tv, enjoy fast wifi and make plans for another great day in town. 

The mini kitchen on the houseboat offers basics such as a coffee maker, microwave, sink with hot and cold water. There are no cooking facilities, but who really needs that with so many awesome restaurants, bars and coffee places around?

And last but not least: on the top of the boat there is a wonderful sundeck - without a doubt a magnificent place to have your first cup of coffee while the city life passes by. 

We hope to have given you the best possible impression of our houseboat and look forward to welcome you aboard the Captain Rembrandt!

    Amazing!

    This place is amazing, all I can say is location, you're at the center of everything, the entire city is at your fingertips. That's not to mention the beautiful houseboat to enjoy it all from. The wheelhouse was a definitely cool place to hang out and the view is amazing for just watching the city go by. The host is great also, she had so much information to share and could really have you seeing places like a local, not to mention pointing us to a fantastic dinner!

    Our Stay at the Captain Rembrandt Houseboat

    It was really nice, the owner was friendly, we had enough space and a great stay. The only thing we'd like to mention is that one room is missing a door and the bathroom door is not closing properly. But still we would really recommend staying here.

    Great location

    My husband and I stayed on this boat for three nights in October. Location of the boat is spectacular, close to everything and on a busy canal which made it very enjoyable to sit on the terrace and watch the boats go by.

    Anastacia was very nice and very responsive. 

    We had a really good vacation staying this boat.
