Welcome to your stay

We had one chance to build our dream boat, and we did. We hope you like the result, and perhaps we'll be fortunate enough to welcome you aboard during our holiday and share the fun of living on our concrete warship from 1943. With two double beds, a child bed, and a cot, this is the perfect family houseboat, also for couples traveling together. Please note, this is not a party boat, so no drugs or smoking are allowed on board.

The houseboat is easy to reach from both Amsterdam Amstel (15 minutes from Schiphol Airport) and Amsterdam Central Station (20 minutes from Schiphol Airport). Just take a tram or bus and you will be at the boat within 15 minutes. A Park & Ride parking lot is located at just 5 minutes driving away.

About the area

The Eastern Docks are the best kept secret of Amsterdam: close to the centre, but away from the noisy masses. And we have great architecture. Very kids-friendly with lots of play grounds within walking distance.

    Great location, boat and atmosphere!

    We had the best of times in this spacious gem! I can highly recommend staying there. Great location not far from the city center, but off the beaten track so a lot of peace and quiet for after the hussle and bussle of the center. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Our kid also loved all the toys available! Fun times!

    Amazing houseboat for families

    We have been so fortunate to stay on this awesome houseboat while the owners were away. The design is truly amazing and its history is astonishing: this used to be a transport vessel during WWII. You can still see the steel pipes used to pump diesel in and out of the ship. The bedrooms are located on the lower floor and they are perfect for families. One large master bedroom and two bedrooms for the kids. Amsterdam East is a well kept secret: nice and quiet yet close to public transport that brings you into town in about 10 minutes. And not to mention the super nice floor heating and superb wood stove 'Bullerjan' that makes your stay just unforgettable. The amenities are just top notch - fantastic value for money!

    Thanks for a lovely time at your houseboat!

    Juul and his family were wonderful hosts, they gave us a brief tour of their lovely houseboat and also gave us plenty of recommendations on things to do in their area of town. The houseboat was well appointed with all the necessities, clean, and was available as expected. Thanks for a lovely time, Juul!
