Houseboat description
The 'Cozy Floating Glamping' is docked next to our own houseboat, a former freight ship, on a wonderful canal with view on the famous windmill. Staying here will certainly contribute to an unforgettable stay in Amsterdam. Enjoy the views and close proximity of lots of Amsterdam popular tourist attractions. Truly paradise!
While being in the quiet Eastern part of Amsterdam city centre, it's just walking distance to many popular destinations. Like the Dappermarket, Artis Zoo, IJ beer brewery, and lots of great bars and restaurants.
You will find many great restaurant in just minutes walking, but if you decide to stay in a night you can use the kitchen to prepare a simple meal too. The kitchen is not huge, but it offers all te required kitchen supplies one can need such as a gas cooker and fridge.
Aboard the boat you will sleep like an angel in the comfortable double bed, ensuring a good nights rest after another great day in town. But the most wonderful part is the moment of waking up. Take a peak through the windows and watch the early water birds swim by while the mist drifts gently over the water. What a way to wake up and get ready to explore the city. The bathroom is small but has all you need; a toilet, sink and (hand) shower. That's why we call it a floating glamping: it's a bit like camping on the water, but then in style!
And one last thing that might interest you: did you know that during the summer period you can swim in our canal - just like many locals do? A wonderful, unique and energizing experience!

About the area
We live in a quiet part of town. Wide water, close to city center. The view of Hollands largest wooden windmill and amongst our neighbors is Amsterdam's most popular brewery "het IJ", a daily market (Dappermarkt) and the Artis Zoo.
There are also many ethnic shops and ' hip' restaurants& gin & tonic bars nearby. "Indische Buurt" which is known for it's turkish and maroccan markets and shops.
Tropenmuseum , Verzetsmuseum & Scheepvaart museum, Botanic garden
The nights are quiet here and when you are having your morning coffee/breakfast, you might get unexpected visits from a local swan family or a flock of ducks looking for some hand-outs.

Ahoy, we are Bop & Eef, the open minded crew on the Motor Vessel Ship ' Moed Overwint Alles'. We have a little boy called Sil Sailor.
Bop is the captain of this ship since 2008.
He puts lots of time, energy and love in his ship and rebuilt it with his own hands into a modern, luxurious houseboat with authentic details. We love to share our experience of living the good life on the water with you.
Bop is a photographer and Eef is a teacher former stewardess. We both travelled a lot and made many friends all over the world who often come to visit. So we are used to having guests and sharing.
