Houseboat summary

We warmly welcome you aboard on our former freight ship where you can feel like a true captain. The recently renovated and fully private apartment is located in the original skippers home and sleeps four comfortably in two separate bedrooms. 

Houseboat description

As the name suggests you can enjoy both the sunrise and sunset, thanks to the unique location of our ship. 

You have your own entrance, ensuring full privacy. Your houseboat apartment offers a compact but conveniently equipped kitchen, a living room, bathroom and two separate bedrooms. 

The former wheelhouse is now the kitchen with a two stove burner, microwave/oven, water cooker, fridge with freezer, coffee maker and washing machine. A place where you will be cooking, having breakfast and making plans for another great day in Amsterdam. Thanks to the windows all around the kitchen, you have a wonderful panoramic view. 

Another interesting feature of this place is the fact that it offers two separate and private balconies on each side of the apartment to enjoy both the sunrise and sunset. 

Inside you find all the amenities you may expect on a modern home, yet with a view over the water that is simply unmatched. When renovating the place, we ensured to keep as much light coming in as possible. This resulted in a very light and bright atmosphere. 

The master bedrooms follows the shape of the hull, creating a unique space with a very nautical character. The wonderful timber work adds up to the result for sure.

Both beds are queen sized and of high quality. 

Since the apartment is located in the traditional skippers home of the ship, the height in the living room, bathroom and bedrooms is limited. For most people this is experienced as charming and characteristic, but some tall people (over 1.90 m) may find this unpractical. 

Note that you will have the whole apartment with private front door to yourself, but a laundry room, shared with the owner, is available if required. 

The houseboat is located on the Eastern Dock, famous for its rich architecture, wide views and laid back atmosphere. Yet you have good connection with the city centre thanks to the trams and busses that drive by every few minutes.

    A Fabulous Find

    My daughter Gail and I travel quite extensively since her mom passed ten years ago. Shortly after our family trip to Shanghai, MaryAnn had a massive heart attack leaving us just months after my retirement.  Looking for a place to stay, for a pre-cruise visit,I happened upon the Bookahouseboat site and jumped at the chance.  We find hotels to be the same all over the world and will often opt for something a little different.  Here we found a two bedroom houseboat with kitchen, bath as well as sitting room with cable TV for just a little bit more than a standard hotel.  We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves shopping at the nearby market and finding the bus/tram stop just down the road. Our hosts, Ed and Carmen lived in the larger side of the vessel and came by to ensure we had all we needed.  A wonderful five day visit to Amsterdam, I would highly recommend Ed and Carmen’s place should you find yourself in Amsterdam.

    We spent wonderful days here with our two daughters. We all loved this houseboat. Above all, we found the location and the bright room to sit great. By bike you can reach all kinds of sights in a maximum of 10 minutes. Carmen also gave us great tips.
