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.

Renovation and Features
We recently completely renovated this WWII concrete warship and turned it into our dream boat. The 6.6 meters wide sliding doors give an amazing view over the water. The terrace is a playground for young and old during summer, and the floor heating is very comfortable in the colder season. Not to mention the brilliant Bullerjan stove, huge bath, double shower, massive curved Samsung TV, BBQ, and fully equipped kitchen.

How to get there
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.
