Everyone who loves to experience Amsterdam during the day, yet enjoy a good night rest away from the tourist masses, this is the perfect houseboat. The boat was originally built in 1932 as a freight ship and is now transformed into a great floating home, located only 34 minutes by public transport from Amsterdam. 24 hours a day reachable from and to Amsterdam central station..5 meters from the boat are 6 showers available for you and a place te BBQ!
Houseboat description
This houseboat offers two bedrooms with comfortable double beds and if required we also offer the option to use a double bed in the living room and the wheel house.
You enter the boat via the wheel house with a sitting corner, offering a great view over the water. This couch can be turned into a double bed.
Take the stairs down and you will find the bathroom on your left hand and a bright living room with a wood stove burner. This is a great place to sit back and relax during the colder winter days, but note that the boat is equipped with comfortable central heating completely. So you don't have to burn the stove just to get warm.
In the living room we have a record player with a great vinyl collection, as well as a mp3 connection. Here you will also find a sleeping couch.
With about 80 square meters the boat offers lots of space. And once you get off the boat you will experience that Amsterdam has truly wonderful natural green areas and even a forest! Our guests particularly love the outside space both on the deck of the boat.
Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions, I'm always there to help. Look forward to welcome you aboard on our Amsterdam Houseboat Haven!
Our houseboat in Monnickendam, a lovely characteristic fishing village, is located only 23 minutes by public transport from Amsterdam. There is a good connection available 24/7, so Amsterdam is literally around the corner.

The desire to sleep on a houseboat in Amsterdam was irresistible and we were delighted by this accommodation! The decor details are great, you feel at home, ready to go sailing, listening to a 33 rounds. ;-) Located in a quiet and very nice area in the north of the city, it is very easy to get around by bus to the central station. Very good communication with Anton and Sarah, quick answers. We will definitely be back!
A beauiful place to stay

This houseboat is not an anonymous hotel suite, but a very romantic place to spend your holidays on. It's perfect for couples and offers two more beds for kids or friends. There is a fireplace and a nice collection of vinyls to spend the evenings! The gas stove and the kitchen equipment is simple and easy to handle. Electricity and heating are working properly. The actual location at the Marina in Monnickendam is just fine to shop some food in the local supermarket or enjoy the old dutch fisher village and have a drink at one of the the lovely pubs.
From Monnickendam you're at Amsterdam Centraal within 30 minutes by bus or you can explore the beautiful landscape and the neighbor villages Volendam and Edam by bike. The owner of the boat and the staff at the Marina are very supportive, everything worked out just fine! So have fun in Waterland! Ahoi*

Swim around your own Amsterdam houseboat !
Added by: Kim, date added: , country: Germany
The lodging on the ship was very relaxing for my family and me. We loved the location, could see the whole harbor and swim a round every day. We reached the city quickly by ferry or by bus. Therefore a clear recommendation for this houseboat from me and my family!
With love, Kim
Great location for exploring Amsterdam
Added by: Adrian, date added: , country: England
After the negative first impressions, which I might add, could really impact your stay, we found that this houseboat has a certain charm.
We would highly recommend that Anton spends a little time and money just tidying and fixing up the boat. It is undoubtedly a great area, the local bar the authentic Chinese coupled with the warmth of the local people, makes staying in this area a real pleasure.
Our stay unfortunately was during a rather wet and windy period but that did not dampen the enjoyment of Amsterdam.
The local bar/cafe is excellent. The owner and the young lady who served us were extremely welcoming, spoke fantastic English. We went there after our Chinese on the Friday evening and the clientele just accepted us as if we were everyday customers.
As mentioned earlier the boat needs some attention to bring it to a good standard. Tidying away some unnecessary items would be a huge start. Removing one of the wood burners would create extra space. The working wood burner however was superb, adding real charm and extra warmth during the cold spell and evenings.
We plan to return in the summer as I think the boat and the area will be even better, much like the Norfolk Broads but less pretentious.
Thanks for having us on your houseboat

We really enjoyed our houseboat holiday. The boat is located on a quiet and relaxed area. It was easy to get to the centre of the city (about 15 minutes by bus) The free ferry to the centre is quiet a walk, but very doable when using bikes. There is a very good super market within walking distance of the houseboat - this was very convenient too. Thanks for having us!
Great spacious houseboat in Amsterdam
Added by: José, date added: , country: Spain
Really cool and quiet place to stay in Amsterdam. There were 6 of us and plenty of room for us al. Actually bigger than it looks on the photo's. Vinyl collection was great. Fire keep the whole boat warm, even in mid-winter when we stayed on this houseboat. Easy connection to central station, about 15 minutes and the local cafe is great for bite to eat.
Would certainly stay again when back in Amsterdam
Charming houseboat in Amsterdam with a great host
Added by: Irma, date added: , country: the Netherlands
Anton warmly welcomed us aboard on the newly renovated houseboat, where the fireplace was already on. We had a great weekend. Going back and forth with the Ferry goes very fast, but there are also nice restaurants and bars in the neighborhood. The area (NDSM site) is still in development. This means that there are still some buildings under construction, but we found that actually very charming. In terms of facilities, the shower needs to be given some attention, but I think Anton is definitely getting started. We were staying here with two persons but the great thing is that the boat is also very suitable for more people.
Reply from Anton: Thanks for your great review - glad to say that the shower is fixed ;-)
Anton Love to share the houseboat experience for you!
