Houseboat summary

Get ready for the ultimate houseboat experience in Amsterdam. After arriving at Central Station you take a left and within a few minutes you will see our lovely harbor, tucked away like hidden treasure, yet right in the city center. Enter your private houseboat apartment and you know you have made the right choice for an unforgettable stay in this buzzing city with your beloved ones. Welcome to the Ivory!

Houseboat description

The location is truly unique. Our city harbor, one of the oldest in Amsterdam, is located between Central Station, the IJ river and the inner city. Although lots of absolute highlights are just around the corner (from the Dam Square and red light district to the Maritime museum), you will be surprised how quiet this place is at night. Actually I still can't believe it myself, having such a secluded haven in the city center. 

This is what you get

We have recently renovated this ship, making it possible to build 'the perfect houseboat'. By using the shape of the ship, we have managed to create a unique and personal holiday home on the water. You can see the water trough the portholes even when you sit at the table or use the bathroom.

We hope that during your stay you will enjoy one another and the pleasures our neighborhood and our city offers. This is why we do not have televisions or radio's on board. But for the ones who can not live without (social) media, we do offer excellence fast WiFi. The only thing you have to do is bring your own mobile(smart)phone or tablet/computer with you. Upon request we can organize a device for you as well.

 

In the apartment you will find

1. double bed

1. kitchenette

1. dining table

1. double sofa bed , upon request only before arrival

1. bathroom with a shower and toilet

a spacious deck and yes, you can jump in the waters and swim here too!

 

Get out there!

During the spring, summer and autumn it is great to sit outside and relax in the communal lounger area on the quay. Please note that people live here, so we kindly ask not to be loud after 21.00 to ensure everyone getting a good night rest. We highly recommend to check out café Pollux across the street if you want to stay out longer ;-)

Be part of our community

Our houseboat is docked in a true houseboat community, and we love you to be part of that for a few days!

Before you book, please note: kids below 6 years old are not allowed on board - babies are.

    Fantastic Stay

    This houseboat is a great location and easily accessible from the main train station. The boat is just like the pictures and it is a quiet oasis from the hustle and bustle of Amsterdam, a great place to re-charge your batteries. I would highly recommend staying on a house boat in Amsterdam!

    Very nice houseboat studio

    It is a very clean and comfortable houseboat. Location is very central, near the station and close to the Zeedijk and Noordermarkt with lots of things to do. At night the area is surprisingly quiet, and lots of boats pass by. Happy and cheerful area. Thanks and all the best from Berlin,
