We warmly welcome families with children. There is a shared terrace fence in front of the boat, the windows have child locks and cleaning stuff is stored out of reach of children. Furthermore there are lots of toys for the kids to play with.
Note: we consider our boat as child-friendly, but note that you are and always will be responsible for the safety of your kids when staying on a houseboat. Staying on a houseboat simply means that there is always water around you and you have to be careful in every occasion. However this houseboat is a concrete stone box, so inside you don't have to worry at all. Also the entrance to the door is very steady and safe. Hardly any movement aboard too, cause the houseboat is tightly attached to the quai.

Houseboat owner
Henk
I am retired and have designed a completely new houseboat located at the city center of Amsterdam, nearby the Vondelpark and Museum square. To pay my new mortgage and to let guests enjoy my houseboat too, I rent out my houseboat a few nights a year according to Amsterdam City rental rules. Maximum 4 guests. Prefer 60 plus guests, families and quiet, nonsmoking guests. If I am not able to check you in, my co-hosts and houseboat neighbors will be standby.
